I have been off the boards for awhile. I missed you all and still check in to see what's going on.... I have moved to Houston, and left my farm and cattle behind. My marriage of 16 years broke up. My husband "moved on" before our marriage ended. Maybe I spent too much time with the cattle...

I have a young cow, with her first calf who had lost an unusual amount of weight. Her calf is doing well, but the cow started to look bad. I figured she just was a hard keeper and that baby was pulling her down. About a week ago, I noticed a fist sized lump on the back of her thigh. At...

I have had this guy since 1988 (so he is older than some of our members). He is a very easy keeper. I keep him in a rabbit hutch outdoors during the warm months, and during the cold months, I put him in a pillowcase in a drawer, in the house. He doesn't eat from September till April...

I have been anxious for this baby to be born. Due Saturday, born this morning. She is the first out of our home grown bull, and was born of a cow who lost last year's calf to an obscure strain of lepto. I think she's a dandy!

This little bull thinks he's the man...the bull ignores him.

OK maybe a little extreme...but this plant will try to fool you with it's glossy leaves, and beautiful purple iris-like flower. If you really hate someone, or need a little revenge, put one (you only need one!) in their pond. Water Hyacinth

These are the heifers I am going to keep this year as part of my registered herd. I want to hear opinions about them. Thanks. April January April2 May June May2

I have never worried or had a problem with my heifers calving too young. I have never seen a bull show any interest in a heifer until she was about 14-16 months of age. All these posts about calving too young has me wondering if brahmen based cattle are exempt from this problem?

About 4 or 5 years ago, I noticed a stray dog slinking around. Usually at night, I would just get a glimpse of him disapearing in the woods. I leave full bowls of kibble on my front porch for my own dogs, but usually my dogs run off any strays. My dogs seemed to ignore this one, so I figure...

All this rain has brought some beauties.

I am watching the 10 pm news out of Shreveport, and it's showing the preparations if Gustav hits Louisiana. In Shreveport, they are using an old mall and old Sams as a supply warehouses for the Red Cross. The fairgrounds have over 700 animal cages being set up for pet evacuees. The Guard is...

My only two January calves were weaned yesterday, as you can see, it's been hard on them. Poor things. How would you describe the color of this calf?Paint? Rainbow? When do they learn back door nursing is a dangerous thing? Do you wonder how Mo is? He never stops eating. and he is a...

My neospora cow, Diamond, had a healthy bull calf, this evening. 102 degrees in the shade. She delivered 13 months from her abortion, but 11 months from what would have been her last years due date. She raised a rejected calf in the interim. I am glad I didn't cull her. She's a great mother...

I have a beautiful 6 yo yellow lab. She can't get enough love and will crawl up on your lap if you let her. She groans with pleasure if you pet her and wants to be at your side at all times. She is very jealous of any other animal we show attention to. Heres the problem...she is a killer...

Yeew, did I just eat poo????

This is Mo. He is slow. I do not know why Mo is slow. He won't play, He just lays around all day. Play Mo, Play! Mo says " No way!" Mo won't go, but he likes love though. Go Mo! Go! He hurts somewhere, but I don't know! This calf is a month old and walks like an old man. He has been like...

There seems to be some confusion about the the difference between the E6 and upgrade (to registered) program. I copied the following from the Q&A on the beefmasters.org website. The E6 program is designed to add value to commercial crossbred beefmaster females. For whatever the reason these...

I love Spring. My mastitis cow and very sick calf are coming along. Not 100%, but doing much better! Could you hurry up, I wanna go play! A little courting going on! The best part...A new baby girl!
