yep, they have paid all out of pocket expenses up til the last vet appt. they have they receipts and will "settle" when she is actually released from the vet. the boy is still in juvie and the cow/preg is doing really well so far. thanks for you interest and concern :tiphat:

you know, i was thinking the same thing this morning. gotta move the trailer, but where to? the middle of the field? no, wind could just whip it around (at least since Katrina-no trees to worry about); hooking it to the truck kinda makes sense, but still depends on the wind speed. Pulling...

Ok, you guys said to let you know how it all turned out and what was found out. This is where we stand as of today: The actual shooter went before the judge yesterday, plead guilty and was returned to juvenile center until sentencing after medical/psych evals. Looking at 12 mths for this...

HOOAH!!

oh, no. the kid that actually shot the cow was arrested and is still in a juvenile facility. he was already on house arrest for other mis-deeds. he will stay there until his court date (approx aug 5), then we're told he'll go back to serve his time for his probation violation and then these...

The whole homeowner's thing caught me off guard as well. I had never heard of it before and would never have thought of it had our insurer not started the process. I'm just playing the cards that are being dealt to me for the moment and see what comes of it. Will let you know if/when...

I contacted our homeowners insurance company 'cause they will provide legal counsel if needed. they contacted the boy's parents homeowner's insurance, they contacted me and issued me a claim # and told me when we got the med records, bills, and out of pocket expenses, to send it all to them...

Brought the "million $$ cow" home today from LSU. They removed the bullet, put pins and screws in her foot to hold the fracture til it heels. She has a "hock" and a boot on it to keep as much pressure off of it as possible. She seems to be doing good. Was really ready to get in the trailer...

If you've tried this and it didn't work, try someone walking by the steer when using the 4-wheeler. Maybe he will then get the feel of someone being beside him and walking.

Several of the kids in our show circuit are firm believers in chamomile tea. They would brew the tea at home and add it to their water buckets when they arrived at the show. If it was a short show, they would stall the animal and start it on the tea water then. Used it a few times ourselves...

We had 1 heifer and 1 cow do this about 4-6 wks before calving. They limped around and moved very slow. Pulled them, checked them out, vet visit. Then poof, one day they were fine. Vet said it sounded like a pinched nerve that the calf moving into position caused. Had to believe it 'cause...

this is our 4 1/2 mth old heifer - Lulu this is our newest bull calf - 19 days old - Midas these are half-siblings reg. beefmaster. opinions please...

My son got interested in showing with FFA/4H. Watched, learned, and listened. Saw that the beefmaster breed didn't have all the grooming because it is short-haired. Didn't have all the foo-fooing to do. Made showing SO much more enjoyable. When you get to know the breed-they are really...

they are town locals, but newbies to the rural area where we live. they (or someone) built a house down and around the road from us. Found out this morning that this "kid" was just shooting randomly while riding through the area. Total of 4-6 shots fired during their "excusion". Luckily no...

Oh! one way or the other, they will. Either insurance, attorney, or just a good heart. They are gonna be held responsible at least for the vet and out of pocket expenses.

UPDATE: The cow is still at LSU Vet Hosp waiting for surgery monday morning. Prognosis is good providing nothing goes wrong. As for the kids/thugs: 1 boy - 14 y/o and 2 teenage girls. Boy was on house arrest already for a weapons/drug charge, but while mom was away, boy how he played. He...

Got a call from the neighbor that some "kids/thugs" on a scooter just shot one of our cows. 3 "kids/thugs" in custody now from incident and cow is at LSU for surgery to remove bullet. Doesn't appear to have caused extensive soft-tissue injuries. She was shot with a .45 and hit right on the...

I've been toying with the board trying to figure out the control panel, how to do different things and I was wondering if there is any way that a search can be done by demographics. :?: Maybe to see how many members are in a state or a mile radius from a certain location. Any ideas, please...

:tiphat: Thanks for all of your posts with suggestions and solutions. There was no improvements and she kept going down. We decided to do the humane thing and end her suffering. Sure gonna miss her. And people wonder how you can get attached to a cow!! Our are like pets to us. It's a...

We have no intention of keeping her. Just wondering if anyone had suggestions as to how to save her for the purpose of the calf. Went out this pm and she has pushed past her stitches and continues to push. Son cleaned her up and put things back til she pushes again. We are just at a loss as...
