I have excellent mineral but they were not eating it. I have a very large mineral feeder that would take a long time to empty, and it is muddy around it. I stuck my hand in it to see that they still had a lot. Then realize they are eating the protein tub for salt and sugar and no mineral...

At the time, I put bag balm on it as I had not come back to your posting. I have too much going on at one time and I can go days and not have time to read the forum. So thank you for that information and it would be good for me to have that on hand if I run into that situation again. It is...

@wbvs58 , I knew they used the weight of the calf for milk. Thanks for explaining that @farmerjan. On the Jersey forum they are always showing milk from a milk cow that they share with the calf. Then when they are sharing, there is no cream in the jar. Then they show the jar of milk from...

@gcreekrch, I have not had commercial cows. My husband did that part as his farm 25 miles away. So a lot of the heifers went there. So did some bulls that I raised and just a few heifers were sold. I keep up with what I have raised at the commercial herd and those that we sold to...

I love the Blues as well, but I don't know of any at all around here. I was hard enough to find Pieds. I was glad to hear the butcher telling that cutting through the meat was like cutting butter. The meat is so so tender. The cholesterol is lower than chicken and turkey. It will...

Here you go @lithuanian farmer. This was posted on the "Myostatin Tender Meat Cattle" site on Facebook. Odd the comments made about double muscled cattle that have never tried the meat. If they try it, then they will know why people raise these cattle. Pieds and Blues....... Try it and...

Good looking Hereford bull!

I vote one. She has a really good spring of ribs and just a lot of capacity and those girls that have that huge round barrel will fool you. Then after she has it, they still look pregnant. I remember thinking they are going to walk off and have another. So much room for grass and baby...

Somebody punched her in the eye!! She is a cutie!

OK @gcreekrch, first let me give you some history of my line of angus. I do not inbreed but line breeding. I raised a lot of heifers and I had two that after they had calves developed very large bags. The cows were what I call really good conformation with good legs and structure, but, large...

Piedmontese are a dual purpose cow gcreekrqch. You are rough on a dairy cow that is used for meat, and she must be milked out in the morning. I think I will hang on to her.....

Yes, you are so correct, but I did not realize this area would be so tucked up in muscles to where you cannot feel it hardly at all. Just something I did not expect. You expect to feel that tube sliding down. It can be felt in a very short area just behind the jowl, for about an inch, but...

I think it is important to write about problems we face with calves or cattle. When I write that the calf is premature at 2 weeks old, which is easy for a cow to go a shorter term gestation, and much better than her going 2 weeks over as the calf continues to grow inside her. Makes for a more...

Noticed that he has better use of his tongue when I tubed him. I held his tongue down a bit with my thumb, and he tried to pull it from underneath the pressure. I messed with his tongue a bit so he would realize that he could use it. But the tone is much better today. His neck is like his...
