Like I said I see these buyers load up their trucks week after week with the stuff that everyone else is trying to get rid of. They ship directly to a processor. i have heard them many times say "We dont have a truck leaving til Friday, hope they make it" I was not really referring to...

I was not talking about the majority of the animals processed, but you cant deny the percentage that are not treated well. I know alot of great beef comes out of those feed lots but we are talking about supermarket beef here. Its not very high up on the ladder in the beef world. There are...

Frankly this world would be alot better off if more people would have a hand in where their food came from instead of everyone eating hamburgers while their new leather shoes push the gas pedals of their Humane Society and PETA stickered SUV's. So I say Kudo's :clap: for taking a step in the...

Is that where you got your screen name or did they name the bacteria after you? ;-) :lol2: :lol2:

From the Merck Veterinary Manual "Actinomyces spp are normal flora of the oral and nasopharyngeal mucous membranes. Members of the genus Actinomyces are gram-positive, non-acid-fast rods, many of which are filamentous or branching. Branches are <1 µm in diameter, as opposed to fungal filaments...

Not trying to steal this thread but I was hoping you could fill us in on this new hunting initiative.

My nephew worked for a guy that raised cattle. He was trying to graft a calf so he made him watch the cow until she was ready to poop. Then he had him run in and stick his hand in to catch some. I dont know if he was just doing this to "initiate" my nephew but he said it could not touch the...

What is your purpose for cutting him? If you are just butchering him it would be safer at this point to leave him intact, cutting him now might kill him. I have eaten many good yearling bulls. They might not marble as well but you will get plenty of good lean meat (yearling should be tender...

I bought this one at Brookville (Whites auction on Wed afternoons). I also go to the Amity (Johnson county on Tues Evening) auction and the Knightstown (Sat) auction on occasion. Where is the one you go to located? I am always on the lookout for new places.

I am not an expert here and I am asking this for my benefit also. Why would you feed a 14% Pellet if she has alfalfa hay free choice? Wouldn't a lower protein/higher energy ration be of more value to put on weight and finish?

I bought a bottle calf at the auction (I know, but I have done it before). He's a beef calf and was very lively in the ring. I have had him a week now, still very lively. He eats well, 2 qts 2 times oer day and usually greets me eagerly. I give him textured calf starter each day which I cant...

I am sure that the farmers of this world will rise to the occasion for a long time to come. I am just saying that at some point we will hit a maximum. With a exponentially growing population who knows how far off that will be. Things are going to get worse before they get better if the rate...

Not sure what you mean?

I am not saying let everyone starve but there is a limit to what this earth can provide. Even if we can get it to the maximum production, the swings between good years and bad at the top would be devastating. Better education and incentives to not have 6 kids would be a good start. People on...

Those are great photos. :nod: :nod: You have a real eye for that. I always enjoy your posts with pictures. What kind of camera do you have?

Politicians and kept promises Illegal immigrants and birth control Sir Loin and Ethanol

My thoughts exactly - you beat me to it.

Regardless of the freind you get him, if you have not castrated him yet, get someone to do it now. Dairy bulls are mean because they do not have any fear of humans. Humans are part of their herd so they will treat you accordingly. I read a report that 90% of the fatalities due to bull attacks...

Good post!! Alot of the problems that are constantly brought up on this board are directly related to population explosions. The price of fertilizer, the price of fuel, the price of land, goverment reguulations, encroachment, the list goes on. The population has to stop growing. If someone...

Wow, sorry for your loss but your story was riveting. Its amazing what you can do when you have to, I'm glad the calf is alive. Hope it all turns out well from here on out and thanks for finishing the story.
