I have a 2018 Kubota M6060 that does not require def. When using the tractor in lower RPM's the re-gen light comes on and I have to go through the re-gen cycle to continue using the tractor. As long as I stay above 2100-2200 rpm the tractor is fine with no issues. Sometimes when using the...

I have a one year old heifer calf (Longhorn). As I was feeding this weekend I noticed everytime she walked her knees and ankles popped. Sounded like me when I first get up of a morning. Checked on her a couple of days later and I do not hear anything as she walks. Is this something I should...

Just bought a used NH 3010s, 52hp tractor. This is my first tractor. When it was delivered it started up fine. I attached a 3pt hayspear after moving the tractor into position and now it won't start. The transmission is in neutral, the gear is in neutral but it will not even try to start...

I just bought my first tractor, a New Holland 3010S, equipped with a front loader. In speaking with the man I bought it from he said I would need a "skid steer" style hay spear for the loader. My question is what is the difference in front loader hay spears?

This may have been discussed but using the search I was unable to find it. What would you do with old wet round bails of Hay. I have about 10 rolls that were stored outside that was rained on throughout the winter months that we did not feed. Will this make the cows sick if I put it out...

I have a small herd of registered Texas Longhorn Cattle. Went out two days ago and found one cow down, struggling to get up. She appeared slightly bloated. We attempted to get her up on her sternum but she died while we were working with her. She was a 7 year old bred cow. Came out this...

I have a healthy 5 year old Longhorn Steer that I want to have processed. Is this steer to old for anything but ground beef? This is our first steer of this age to process and want to get the best quality of meats we can. Thanks for any input.

We had a two week old calf die/disappear. We have searched for two days on our 50 acres but have not found any signs of him. Does the momma cow need a shot to dry her milk up if the calf cannot be located. Any advice would be appreciated.

I went out yesterday and noticed a fist size tumor on the outside of the jaw of my Longhorn Steer. He is about 5 years old. It does not seem to be affecting him any, but was wondering if anyone has any experience with something like this. His temperament has not changed, and he is eating good...

This may be a very stupid question but I'm going to ask anyway. We have a small herd of 12 longhorn cows. We have 53 acres they run on, but our pasture has not been fertilized in several years. If we feed grain, minerals, and other supplements can we get through the winter without feeding hay...

I need some advice. I have a small herd of Texas Longhorns (9cows/1bull). For the second year in a row our bull does a strange thing with one particular cow's calf. She is the oldest cow, who is 5 now. As she brings her newborn calf back to the herd the bull approaches the calf. He then...

I live in north central Texas and am considering throwing out some rye seed this weekend. Good chance for rain Sun, and Mon. and was wondering if it is to late in the year to broadcast seed out. I was planning on putting about 100 lbs out on a 10acre pasture I have. It has not been tilled in...

I have 13 head of Texas Longhorn Cattle. Bull/Cows/5 calves. I do not have a working pen yet and need to build one. Can anyone give me some ballpark measurements on the size of a pen needed to work this number of cattle. I was thinking of using a medina gate to work them once inside the pen...

Can I get some ideas from anyone on what is used to keep up with what inventory you have in your herd? What calf is born to what cow? Which bull used? etc.... Is there a good computer software to use, or what? I only have 13 head, but with five new calves born this year, and needing to...

OK, for all you folks in the know...I was considering what to do with a couple of one year old Longhorn Steers. While looking at a processing plant there was an option to keep your head/horns, hide, and/or cape. I think I know the answer to this but for my own curiosity what is the difference...

Maybe my little bull ain't as worthless as I originally thought. We have had three calves this month..this is our latest addition. :clap:

These nodules have just come up within the last couple of weeks. At first I thought they may be ticks, but now they appear to be solid. They are on this one cow in the herd. They are all Texas Longhorn cattle. Any thoughts on what this could be, and any treatment recommendations? I am not...

This is a photo of our first Longhorn calf...born 24 hours ago. Still not sure if male or female. Mom and Dad are in picture. :banana:

Hi all! I need to ask a newbie question. We have a small herd (8 head) of registered Longhorn cattle. Last night we had our first calf born. It appears healthy, and is eating fine. His mother was a heifer, and appears to be very attentive to her baby. The question: How do tell the sex of a...

I have 5 Texas Longhorn cows, with a two and a half year old bull. They have been together for 12 months, but the bull has not shown an interest in any of the cows that I have seen. Granted I only see them on weekends, or early in the morning so I may be "missing" something. How common is an...
