great info folks, thanks. I never considered buying older bred cows, but it sounds like a good platform to start from, and maybe eventually be able to increase acreage, and then maybe start a small herd. thanks again.

thanks for the suggestion about seperate accounts. right now, I would consider what I have as a hobby farm, but I am looking at ways to change it to a profitable endeavor. viewtopic.php?f=8&t=43960 feel free to add or adjust my thinking on any of my options.

I'm never not careful when in a pen or even in the pasture with any cows. Bruno, thanks for the head's up on SK-Surekill Brand Pyrethrin Plus Fly Spray, I wouldn't have known. and please fellas, don't let my flippant remarks lead you to believe, that I am not cautious with those cows. I was...

Ms chrisy, regardless of when you received the story, and regardless of when the actual occurence took place, it is still a very heart warming story.....thanks for sharing.

LOL maybe I'm prettier than you, and not as scary looking? I have heard that about them, and believe me, when I do have to walk amoungst'em, I walk softly and carry a big stick. lol I do know some history on the two cows I have, and they have been people safe through out their many years. ie...

both cows are Brangus, one of them showing a much stronger Brahma than the other. I'm thinking since both cows are fairly tame, and will follow me, while I carry a bucket of rocks, lol, I could build just a chute, add the pen later. I'm sure too, the local vet, should be able to advise me on...

I'm sure you are much older than me, besides the fact, that I am asking alot of questions. I am sorry you don't appreciate the showing of respect. In the future, I'll try to be a bit more disrespectful. :D actually, the Mr. was said tongue in cheek, after reading through several of your posts.

Mr. dun, do you think those pour ons, would work thru a pump up sprayer?

with questions. A little more background. I have roughly 11 acres fenced in. I'm in a bit of a mental jam. I'm looking for a profitable, or at least lose the least amount of money, method to raise, and run a few head of cows. I have plans on improving the pasture for both spring/summer, and...

Since I've newly aquired this property, and fenced it in, I haven't built pens, or chutes yet. It is on the list for this year. I do know the time is quickly approaching, when I'll need to "work" my two cows. I know I won't be able to give them shots, but is there a spray on pest control, that...

so what you folks are suggesting is a CPA? lol probably would be best. It would be the first time I've ever had to use one, I think I'm starting to feel important. thanks for the suggestions.

dang, so much to learn, but so far, it has been fun learning it. For sure some of you guys talk and discuss topics way beyond my interest. lol first couple of questions, are about federal income taxes. my first year with cows. I had to place some new fencing around my property.($1000) I...

living out in the sticks with no close neighbors seems better and better all the time. instead of collecting only one sample, collect a sample for a week, or even two.....then dump said samples on the neighbor's yard, door step, or sprinkle around the neighbor's car(so that they cannot get to...

imagine this........my parents would not allow me to watch Hollywood Squares. I must have been extremely sheltered...thanks ma and pa, for not letting stuff like that warp my mind, until I was old enough to enjoy it properly. :D

It's a balmy 42 degrees here on the southern coast of Texas. t-shirt, flip flops, and shorts weather......wonder where I put my suntan lotion? I sure hope my cows appreciate my dedication in throwing hay to them in this nasty stuff.

being relatively new to having to worry about graze, and improving a pasture, what does pig weed look like? any links to information about it and other weeds?

If I am working it is a hat, if I'm playing, probably just a cap.
