Hello, I am looking for a meat processor in Navarro county, Texas close to Frost or Navarro Mills. Perhaps in Corsicana or as far as Hillsboro. I've been searching the internet and yello pages but can't seem to find anyone. The one I used before is in Rendon and too far for just a steer. I...

Has anyone seen a cow hiding the calf in the woods for three week? I have a cow that had her calf three weeks ago and has hidden it since then. I saw it right after birth and she took it in the woods and hasn't brought it out yet. I know its still alive because her bag is sucked. I bought this...

Hello, I just brought about 1ton of cotton seed from the local gin and the cows won't even eat it. This is the first time I ever give them cotton seed. They are accustomed to getting a bag or two of range cubes every week or so. I put out the cotton seed in the ground and they sniffed it and...

Hello, I have a very nervous cow that put out a great calf for the past two years. This is my only problem cow. She won't get close to the range cubes, she'll baby sit the calves and drive them away when its time to pen them to take them to the sale. I'd put up with her because I couldn't pen...

Hello, I am thinking about disposing of my commercial herd (older cows) and getting some charolais F1's and retain my 3yr old Brangus bull. My doubt is: what would this cross look like? I assume they'd be black and I hope the would be muscular. I also have the option of getting angus influenced...

Hello, I bought a bred baldie last Summer and it calved about a week ago and her bag is huge. Its bigger than any other beef cow I have or seen. I suspect she might be a cross with a milk breed. I would like to try and milk her but never done it before. Has anyone ever milked a beef cow and...

Has anyone ever used electric fence to keep in goats? Or used goats to control weeds? I'm having a problem with weeds and I've been told that run goats after cattle. I use electric fencing for my cows with just one wire at about 32 inches. I'm trying to find out how many wires to use for goats...

Hello, I just bought a 16month old Brangus bull and my neighbor's bigger bull came over and beat the sense out of him and left him limping. He appears to have a bad back leg.
