I have to check tomorrow, I'm pretty sure it can be pushed back I didn't specifically check for that. When I turn him out tomorrow I will check. Thanks for the compliment. He's the first calf that I am raising entirely on my own that actually belongs to me, so I have put alot of time into him...

So I've noticed a bump growing right around my calfs navel. I *think* it's a hernia, but I really am not sure because I haven't had to deal with any before. I talked to my old boss at the dairy & he suggested duct tape, but I'm not so sure... What do ya'll think? Any idea what it is or how to...

AWW!!! That is so cute...and they will grow up to be best buds. I hope you were aware that the pup was coming, and it wasn't a total suprise to you! :-D

He was awful about drinking. He would stick his entire head in the bucket(sometimes past his eyes) and then blow bubbles. Not blowing out while drinking it...just sticking his head in and blowing bubbles for the fun of it. Thank goodness he is past that stage. He's now almost 2.5 months old, and...

I've been gone for so long! The past few months have been really stressful, crazy, and not conducive to hanging out on forums...but I am back now!!! Anyway...I just wanted to say hi! So...since I've been gone I aquired a bull calf(now a steer) from the farm as a birthday present, and I lost my...

Well, I am back from an amazing summer at the ranch petting zoo and I wanted to share some pictures with you! I had posted pictures before I left of my boys when there were a day old. Now I wanted to share some when they got older. They were great all summer long and taught the kids a ton! It's...

Im sorry you lost the fight against whatever it was. It sounds like you did everything you could, don't be so hard on yourself.

Man I'm gone for a day and I miss all the good conversations!!! This is what my fiance and I are getting into...not just bucking bulls but we want to be able to supply entire rodeos with everything but horses(bulls, steers, calves, sheep, goats, etc). We'll be working off two properties, one in...

I think Davis covered most of the importiant questions...a picture would be very helpful

I am currently a short term missionary in Hungary. We would love to put something like that together, but there is no $$$. It took two weeks to get the money just to buy the spindle assemblies, could you imagine if we had to buy anything bigger than that??? lol

sweet more pictures! These are awesome, thanks MM

When I get back to the states I never want to see another lawn mower. Just kidding :-) That is ALL my job consists of. I spend 5 days a week, 6 hours a day sitting on a mower. I am the only one who mows and we have 78 acres of property, most of which is all stuff that needs to be mowed(soccer...

Are they showing any other symptoms of IBR?(high temps, inflamed mucous membranes, lack of appetite, respiratory distress) I've never seen a case of IBR that didn't have only one of the symptoms. What you are describing sounds alot like pinkeye, particularly the cloudy part. I thought(if I'm...

Oh I feel for her. She is WAY to skinny!!! I'm so glad that you got her...even being thin though she is absolutly beautiful. You can easily see how she won. Good luck, and keep us updated! Over here in Europe embryo transplant is a big deal for sheep and goats(sheep dont work very well...

man I would kill for something like that. They don't eat beef here...like EVER. It's too expensive...I havent eatten beef in almost 2.5 months. When I left we had it almost every single day! All we have here is pork and occasionally chicken and even rarer, fish. When I get home first thing I'm...

That's what the guys at the farm do...they work hard, learn the language and become good citizens. As I said before...if you want to come to America but dont feel like learning the language...don't let the door hit you on the way out. I just think it will be helpful to be able to be able to help...

Okay...I wasn't going to but I feel I do need to address this topic. I, for one personally feel that this is American, you SHOULD speak english. HOWEVER, english is one of the hardest languages to learn. I used to always have the attitude, well you come to our country you should speak our...

Thanks for all the responses guys! I just wanted to see if it would be worth the trip from NY to TX for it...plus I get to see texas :-D

You must be a beef guy ;-) For the most part Holsteins really don't start getting unpredictable until they are about 2 or 3 years old and even then it depends on the bull...and yes, a halter is enough to control a 2 month old calf. It's not like these are vicious cattle that want to impale you...

Hey guys, I'm working on writing a book, kind of a dummy's guide to Holsteins and I am starting my quest for good solid pictures for the book. In exchange for use of the pictures you will be given full credit for the picture and if you wish to include a link to your farm/ranches website that...
