Yes, amazingly there was - I was sure he would knock all of it off.

We did salt it - on both sides - 5 days apart - main question was will it hurt cattle if we sell it as such? Think we will check a few bales for mold - then decide whether to sell it and replace with the 2nd cutting for the horses. Only have 3 so don't think we can feed it up fast enough to...

Cut our first cutting of alfalfa - was really thick so gave it two days to dry - teddered twice - got about half of it baled and it rained about 0.2 - sun came back out and we waited about 3 hours to bale the rest - have about 100 squares that were pretty wet - laid them out single layer in the...

Our neighbor has a small plot of beardless winter wheat - has quite a bit of weeds in it and a poor stand. He's planning to mow and bale it. Any problems with feeding this to the cows? He said someone told him that it wouldn't be good to feed horses. Yes or no?

We are trying to decide what bull(s) to breed to our first time heifers to get some nice show heifers or steers - Reg. Angus - we don't breed our heifers to calve until they are 26-30 months - larger framed - most are thick but just a little coarse up front. What bulls will give us a cleaner...

I work at a pharmacy with a drive-up window - have our regular doggy customers who stare and/or bark until they get their treats. Some even climb out the driver window and put their feet on our window ledge until rewarded. Have one guy who's dog rides in the bed of his pickup - after he...

We're done too - but just a few less than you!!! First calf born Dec. 30th - last one February 3rd - 6 total - 4 heifers, 2 bulls - 2 AI - 2 from one cleanup bull - 2 from the other cleanup bull. Weights from 75lbs to 117lbs - all born unassisted - no frozen ears or tails. Can't wait for the...

Sorry guys, that I wasn't a little more specific. Yes, we are AI'ing our cows - we both work full-time day jobs - heat detection is a little difficult. Planned to have the bull vasectomized (sp?), hoping that he would follow and ride the cows to let us know which cow was in heat. Breeding...

We have a 2 year old bull - has been running with cows off and on since he was 13 months. We have seen him jump a cow in heat, but never breed her. Different sets of cows, all of them cycling. Are planning to make him into a teaser bull. He has a great disposition, and has passed a breeding...

My husband and I attended in 1998 - we both really enjoyed it. Learned a lot - classes are kept to a max of 10 people so lots of one on one attention. Spent a lot of time with our arms in cows. We weren't really interested in AI at the time, and no one else in the class was either, so we just...

We are looking for a cattle fitting video to purchase - have done a google search and found the one from Premier Cattle Services - is $80. Is it worth it? Has anyone used this one or have a recommendation for another one? Will be going to a fitting clinic the end of February, but wanted to get...

Joe - printed out the replies for hubby to read - he wanted me to send you a note and let you know he really doesn't want to travel alone - just how cute is your wife before he decides to swing thru Minnesota??!!!

Thanks for all the replies - the key to my post was the size of the cattle - want them to be big and have lots of big in their pedigrees. Looks like a great list to choose from - AngusGuy - we are in West Central Illinois, too - but cattle aren't big enough framed around here for our liking -...

Husband is planning a trip from Illinois to SD & ND - Looking for 7+ frame angus cattle - is planning to stop at Hoff's and Schaff's. Any other breeders between here and there come to mind that would have what he's looking for?? Thanks for the help.

Website for Graham is http://www.grahamschool.com - hope that helps.

My husband and I too went to Graham - I searched this spring for a refresher class - found our ABS rep had one Easter weekend. Just AI and 2 days of hands on. Graham was great for the anatomy and the basics of preg checking and AI - I needed to actually get my hands on the tank, straws, guns...

How tall??

Didn't realize I got in on the first day?! Check the board almost daily - like to lurk and just soak up everyone else's knowledge. Love the board and all the different personalities. Makes it great to read. Thanks Macon for keeping it going.

Kansas Bank Note Company will put your picture on checks - they also have several stock cattle logos to use. Go to http://www.kbnc.com - under personal checks.

We have the digital electronic scales that attach to the hitch on the back of a truck - BUT - we had a hitch receiver welded onto a platform built across the back of our truck bed at the front of the bed - to put the scales - if you use it like they demonstrate, it puts your back to the cow...
