I'll look on Valley Vet and check out those wire tightners. Thanks.

Thank you dun, I'll get it done now and tighten later if needed. Our temps at night are low 30's high 20's.

knowing what I know now, I would of started younger when the hay bales were lighter. Always had horses, raised goats and dogs.... But I get so much joy now being around my few Dexters.

I'm ready to have 4' field fence wire pulled over 500'. The posts are 4" rounds set in concrete every 10'. I've been told that if you stretch it in the cold temps, it will sag and become loose in the warmer temps. Is this true? Should I wait? Thank you.

The only negetive I have heard was that too much barley was bad for their foot wall.

Greetings, thought I'd add an undated picture of Dusty my bull, now nine months old and the new friend I got for him, four months old. It's amazing how much calmer my bull is now. Enjoy. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v482/ ... 0_0079.jpg

Great poems CRR and Wewild :D

I'm going to work soon, but want to wish all of you a safe and happy Thanksgiving. Have a bite for me ....

I used full strengh listerine (kills germs). Put it in a spray bottle and dampen the area. If you have removed some of the crusts to expose the raw skin, then it will be a little ouchie. I always had good luck with it.

D.R. Cattle you said: Ever wonder if bulls get a wiff of a woman there's a possibility that similar smells may be detected as in a cycling brood? I asked that same question to a Simmi breeder this year, when I got my bull. He said "no." I have also been told by horse breeders this is danger...

I like the website Jake, and you have nice cattle.

I have an eight month old dun Dexter bull. I love him. Next year I'll be looking at heifers and cows. Great breed and nice attitudes.

I have been touchy feely with my eight month old Dexter bull since I got him at four months old. I don't feed him by hand, grain and treats are from bucket. I can touch him anywhere and pick up his front feet (still working on the back). But if I have the bucket in my hand, I'd better be...
