    Just curious - what is your vet charging for bangs vaccine this year? Is it just my imagination or did it go way up?

    Murphy's Law!

    Murphy must have owned horses! My same little 4 yr old gelding that cut the sole of his foot - I've been back to riding him for about a month now and he's just doing fantastic! so.... naturally he managed to hurt himself again. I was going riding last night after work, saddled him up, loaded...

    calf pics

    here are a couple of pics of some steer calves we have here at the house. Just a sampling of a colorful crowd. These were some early steers who's mothers were pretty old and had other issues that caused us to wean a little early and ship the cows. These were mid January calves and we shipped...

    hoof sole injury

    I have a 4 yr old that must have stepped on something and has a cut to the sole of his left front. It's about 3/4 of an inch long and runs side to side just between the point of his frog and his toe. I've see my share of puncture wounds to the sole but this is different - almost like he...

    dwarfism in cattle?

    I have a steer, out of a BWF cow by herf bull - if I didn't see where he came from I wouldn't believe it - he's solid black (really stands out at our place!) calved last Feb. and he's just stumpy, very short and just has a "dwarfish" appearance, can't really put my finger on what makes him look...

Just looking for an edge in the market - wondering if anyone has any personal experience with this? We do have a real good fairly close market for organic feed grains and we've never used much in...

    Buffalo Gnats?

    Has anyone ever heard of Buffalo gnats? I just bought a really cute little snaffle bit gelding from Illinois, he has what looks like girth itch and the same all over his chest and neck? Just kinda little scabby bumps and itchy scaly crud? The person I bought him from said they had a really bad...

    Saddle Fit

    Now, I'm just throwing stuff out there to see what comes back! I hear alot of folks these days making an awfully big deal over saddle fit. My dad ran a 500+ head cattle spread here in Montana and rode in the mountains his whole life. When I was still at home we probably had 20 or so horses at...

    Are you finished?

    a young italian man met a beautiful blonde woman at the bar and he took her back to his place, where one thing led to another and after a rowdy roll in the hay he asks her "Are youa finnish?" ( you have to imagine the italian accent) She looks at him sort of puzzled and says "no?" So he wipes...
