    RUN DOWN COW

    I have a Brangus cow that had her first calf about 3 months ago. She started looking shabby a few weeks ago. She has lost a lot of weight and has long hair still, which makes me think it is worms. I seperated her and gave her antibiotics and worm medicine. Put her on feed also. No luck so...

    1st Calf - EVER

    Haven't been on the boards in a while. I switched from a feedlot to cow/calf operation about a year ago. Just had the first calf drop last week. Amazing! Brangus bull and Hereford heifer. I will post pictures as soon as I figure out how... :banana:

    Hereford Hoof Problem

    Ok - I have heard the many problems with Herefords regarding eyes, cancer, etc. I am a glutton for punishment so I finally bought one. I have a Hereford heifer (now bred by the way) that has recently begun 'growing' her hooves; they began extending past normal length of cattle hooves. This is...

    Deer Season Prep

    Went clear shooting lanes and put up a new box stand yesterday. It was HOT! I think this is the earliest I have ever starting preparing for deer. I set out my game camera on my mineral sight. I will share pics when I check it next week.

    Nutria Rat

    I have been told by many people that nutria is good to eat. I am about to go fix up my duck blinds and I always end up shooting many nutria while I am there. Is the nutria meat worth keeping a few for cooking? I am open to all suggestions.

    Herefords

    I am buying a few Herefords heifers for breeding and everyone keeps telling me to be careful of the eye problems. I knew that this was an issue, but I am hearing this SO much that I am wandering how common is the eye problem in herefords. Any input would be appreciated.

    Brittany Spaniel

    I am thinking about getting a Brittany Spaniel for woodcock hunting. I will be honest, I will not spend enough time to train him good; I don't have that kind of time. Years ago, I had a Springer Spaniel that naturally pointed. I wonder if the Brittany will have the same good instincts? My...

    Bream Fishing

    Is anyone catching bream right now? No one that I talked to has done any good so far this year. I went see for myself yesterday and I did "below average". I caught a few, but most were too small to keep.

    Are there any side effects to overdosing (not much) on feed-top worm pellets?

    Emu

    Has anyone here every dealt with raising emus? I remember when there were supposed to be the new competitor beef. It obviously fell through, but I was just curious if anyone had gotten into it?

    Can you solve this one?

    In another board earlier this week, I wrote about an angus heifer calf I had that couldn't get up. She has been laying down now for 7 days. We have been giving her LA200 and B Complex. She has always had clean feed, hay, and water in front of her. She never really looked that bad; very...

    Somn

    Somn - Congratulations. You have managed to once again write a completely drawn-out, argumentative post. We are all appreciative. And I want to thank you for personally insulting me for allegedly lying about my operating costs (which are no business of yours), even though I explained last...
