Does anyone know anything about big white birds that hang around cattle? They look like some kind of egret or something. This is the first year we have had them this bad. They fly in early in the morning and they stay all day. They even get water out of the stock tanks. The thing I don’t like is...

Thanks for all your help! I definitely will get rid of the cow. Looks like I will be bottling a calf for awhile. :(

I am thinking about buying some cattle from a guy that has had scours in his herd for years. My question is, can my calves pick up scours from other cows brought into my herd that has had scours (or have been in with other calves that has had it)? I have been blest to have never had scours in my...

Thanks everybody for your help! I picked up 100 lbs. of mineral that had 14% mag this morning.

What kind of mineral are you supposed to give your cows when you put them out on green grass in the spring? Thanks!

What’s your favorite brand of ATVs (four wheelers)? I use Arctic Cat’s and love them. I have a 2007 500, a 1999 400 and will be getting to more 2008 500's soon. Use them for herding cattle, checking fence and just plain joyriding. :D What about you?

I love the way you put that. :cboy:

Thanks for all your help everybody. :D I think I will move 1/4 of the herd out in a week since I’m getting really low on hay and move the rest the end of April.

How many of you cattlemen carry a handgun with you (Concealed Carry) or normal and why?

Thanks Dun & Bandit80. The pasture has about 5 different grasses in it. Most of it is native and warm season grass. Would it hurt the grass if I moved cattle out before it really started growing? Thanks again for your help.

Thanks! :) Does the grass have to be totally green? I have tall grass in the pasture, but it only has a little that is greening up this time of year.

When is the best time to move cattle out to pasture? I live in north/central KS. Thanks :cboy:
