    Horse Racing

    chippie- I was given the opportunity to choose my topic so I decided to think outside of the box. Even since the incident with the Kentucky Derby winner, Barbaro, I've noticed a larger controversy whether horse racing is humane or not. Since there is such a broad spectrum on this topic, i...

    Horse Racing

    Hello, I am seeking some help. I'm writing an argumentative essay considering horse racing. The topic specifically is; should horse racing be continued so freely. There are many who demand it be banded or changed for the welfare of the horses that are “forced” to participate in such races. I’ve...

    Which way to blow hair?

    The way you said blowing up and forward is the quickest way for me to dry my calves. It only takes me about 10 minutes.

    Calf with 3 leggs

    I raise calves and I sell them at the local fair every May. But the calf I had this year is a real special one. First he got a terrible infection after castration and was sick for about 2 months.

    Calf temp. 99.3???

    If the baby is still nursing off mama then it might just be the richness of her milk making her stool light and sticky. You will know the sight of scours when it turns a silver color. You might wanna hit her up with some probios or resorb just to keep her hydrated. But as long as she is up and...

My friends calf got the lead wraped around his back hock while he was laying down and his head was suck down under his belly. Luckily someone was there to let him loss. Personally I'm not favorable to letting...
