I think we will pass on the implants . Thanks everyone.

I'm showing my ignorance here but I am asking if you use Ralgro on heifers? The insert gives information on heifers but is it just the heifers you plan to sell or all of them. I says the dose is good for 70 days on heifers. Thanks for enlightening me .

Just ran preg check on 52 head and only had two heifers open. Last year was a mess with heifers due to abnormally cold temps and young bulls so we were ready for this.

I'm a little late in answering but have been using Quickbooks since 1995. It does take some time to learn but there is an extensive manual with the software and lots of help online. It is a wonderful program, especially at tax time. Just print out a report for your accountant or for yourself...

My uncle was one of those larger than life bull shyters who knew everybody and enjoyed being in the center of the action. When he had a stroke, he lost his speech and the use of one arm but because his "I know a damned sight better" nature he refused to do therapy and lived another miserable...

We have four within 15 miles of us, one gossips about everyone when he's here, one is just mean and the one we have been using remodeled everything he owns and upped his farm call fee to $100 from $40 and added $40 for mileage. The fourth one charges $40 to come out. We are changing vets.

All professed Christians are joined together in the body of Christ and are charged with living as an example to others. The Bible says that God is jealous of his good name and some of the examples in this thread are shameful to Him and sorry witness to your faith.

I was nearsighted too and if I had it to do over, I would stay the same and keep my close up vision. I can't thread a needle, read small print, and several other annoying things. It's too bad you don't know exactly what you are getting into when making those kind of decisions.

Sweep gate

Wow, now that's a fortress.

You know what they say about the best laid plans of mice and men....in spite of every precaution, cattle will find a way to kill themselves. All our ponds are fenced with gravity fed waterers but Friday a calf got himself through the fence and out in the middle of a big pond. The ice was thick...

Oh those nephews! Especially city nephews. One of ours put dirt in the gas tank of the lawn mower then broke the key off in the ignition. Finally, as a closing act up he unrolled 30yards of new Trylene line. He went home and told his mother uncle Jack doesn't like me and that was putting it...

The sheriff told us there had been a rash of gates just being opened for the trouble it caused. I can't how that would be entertaining since they wouldn't be around to see the result but I guess it's not required that we understand the mindset of a jerk.

We had an jolt this morning with a phone call saying our catle were out. After scrambling for clothes and shoes, we ran out to look for them. Then we found that a gate had been opened and if it hadn't been for a neighbor getting up at one in the morning, we probably would have lost them all...

We used to do both spring and fall calving but as we got older, we decided to go to fall calving because of the weather advantage. In addition, the heat and humidity of our summers was hard on breeding. There are definite advantages for each and it's true, fall calving means a smaller calf in...

Several years ago we had a wild, crazy cow that took her calf and ran like a wild woman every time we entered the pasture. We finally had to hire a guy with a horse to rope and drag the cow and by now 600 pound calf into the trailer. When we got the check from the sale barn, there was a note...

Wow, Milkmaid, that was a lot of work. Thank you so much for your time and effort. I appreciate getting answers to things I have wondered about.

Talk about dating yourself, I thought I had died and gone to Heaven when the boss got me an IBM selectric.

Better late than never, she started bagging up yesterday evening and the calf wasn't interested in a bottle so it looks good so far. We have been graining the cow also.
