I have a 16 month old bull that we have been showing. I noticed this weekend, when he begins to urinate, he will extend his penis 6-7", and urinate; however, the whole time he is urinating, he is kicking/stamping his feet. He appears to be experiencing pain. He is eating good, and seems...

Has anyone tried the "Cattle Curtain" cattle rubs? I saw an ad in the recent Working Ranch magazine. They look interesting. Thanks!

Thanks for all the comments. In South Louisiana, I am getting 40 pound bags of shredded beat pulp for $18.99. I am getting 25 pound bags of Depth Charge for $11.50. We have always fed beet pulp year round. Nearing show season we increase the beet pulp. It does add a lot more bulk to the...

I have always fed beet pulp to the show heifers. I just realized my feed store also carries the Purina Depth Charge. Do you feed beet pulp and depth charge at the same time? If so, what percentages. If not, do you just feed depth charge? I quickly read the bag tonight and I think it...

I have halter broke a calf or two each year for the last 10-15 years, but as everyone knows it is very time consuming. I have borrowed donkeys before, and then I have done it on my own. Halter breaking one is not that big of a deal, but when you have two or more at the same time, it is...

Thanks DLD. From what I can tell from the pics and minimal description, it does seem to be a good value. I like the floor as well. Any other comments are welcome as well.

Thanks for all the comments thus far. Below is a link to the new W-W that I am inquiring about. Any further comments are appreciated. http://www.trailershopper.com/page-45908.html Thanks!

W-W came out with a new line of aluminum gooseneck stock trailers a few years ago. Does anyone have experience with those trailers? Has anyone been able to find specific specifications somewhere on the Internet? I have searched and searched. I was not even able to find the trailers on the W-W...

Thanks M5Farm! The beam and hoist idea will have many uses other than just for lifting super sacks. Much appreciated! UncleLA

I buy feed in one ton super sacks and store it in 60 gallon drums. Unfortunately my tractor can only lift about 1,400 pounds. As a result, I normally, empty 600-700 pounds by hand and then I lift the sack with the tractor. I would like ideas on what type of winch/hoist would work to set up in...

Has anyone had success with the following products available through Sullivan's: Show Cattle Calm Peace Pellets Focus - Oral Calming Liquid We have been showing cattle for years and have never tried these products. We have a new, young, show heifer that is very antsy and you can tell gets...

Really nice looking heifer calf. Keep us posted on her progress. She would make a great show project for someone.

Just curious.....................I was at the Dixie National's in Jackson, MS, this past weekend and noticed many cattle that had colorful zip ties on the rope halters behind the poll. I've seen this before, but don't recall what's the purpose, if any. Again, just curious!

I'm converting a horse stall to a feed room and would like suggestions on flooring material. I would rather not use concrete in case I need to use the stall in the future for animals. I was considering removing all shavings, wetting and packing the remaining sub-dirt well, and then putting...

Oh, you can find them for $100 on up! That JD Green cost me about $100. LOL

Absolutely get the Quick Hitch. I bought the John Deere iMatch Quick Hitch for my JD4105 tractor and I think I spent about $240. However, you can find a Quich Hitch at many locations. I'm pretty sure Tractor Supply has then. Northern Tool also has them. It's has been $240 well spent for me!

Does anyone have experience with the Tarter Brand "Cattleman Standard Squeeze Chute" with automatic headgate? If so, your thoughts? I only have 15-20 head at the location where I need a chute. I'm looking for the best chute for the least $$$$$$. Thanks in advance for your comments. UncleLA

I recently purchased property with a 40' x 110' horse barn (16' center aisle and 12' stalls on each side). Throughout the barn are 8' fluorscent light fixtures. There are probably 20 to 24 of those fixtures; however, either the bulbs are burnt, or the ballast are out on most of them. Last...

I'm considering installing a four-board fence at the entrance to my property. What type of lumber to folks in the South use to build those types of fences? 1" x 6" boards seem too weak. 2" x 6" boards seem to be overkill. I have looked at Home Depot and Lowe's and am considering using treated...

I hope to be in a position soon to purchase a 35-50 HP tractor. I was at the State Fair in Shreveport, LA this past week and visited with a Bobcat dealer. The Bobcat tractors seem to offer a nice package for a reasonable price. Bobcat is offering some great deals right now on loader packages...
