    Teats in a row?

    We recently sold a year old Dexter/Lowline Angus cross heifer. Now the new owner says that her teats are "deformed" in that they go across in a row from one side to the other. Quite frankly, we never crawled under her or rolled her over to look at the teat formation while we had her, and the...

    Warning...disturbing!!! birth defect-sheep cross with ???

    There was a sheep born in Turkey with human facial features. What do you all think? (that can stomach looking at it) Is it possible this could happen without spontaneously aborting the fetus? http://english.pravda.ru/science/myster ... man_face-0

    Head butting story. Sick but sorta funny

    Saw this on Drudge. I don't think the cop was familiar with what calves do when nursing... :lol: During a bizarre hearing there yesterday, a Superior Court judge dismissed animal-cruelty charges against a Moorestown police officer accused of sticking his XXXXX into the mouths of five calves...

    Too fat???

    This is our little cross between our Hereford cow and short leg Dexter bull. He is just shy of 4 months. He's quite fat and has been nibbling on the forage, but I'm wondering when it's time to wean him. Mom is still in pretty good condition, we think she was bred again about two months ago. I...

    Hereford/pig cross

    Just wondering what you all think of our little experiment? Four short months ago the fruits of our labor arrived. We're aiming for marketing directly to restaurants that offer steak and ribs combination platters. We think it's a great niche. Our next attempt will be getting a litter of...

    Jersey with labor not progressing(photos)

    We have a Jersey that has been various stages of labor for about the past 12 hours. She really seemed to be having some contractions about 6 hours ago, but they have now diminished. About 8 am she popped out what appears to be her water, but it was compact and red, almost looked like she was...

    Fuzzy new Highland bull calf

    The first of 4 of our Highlands to calve. We finally got to see one in real time. All of our calves this year have just been there early in the morning. My wife and I were taking a walk through the property, and I noticed the cow was acting different, back arched, tail in the air, getting up...

    Highland heifer due to calve

    We're a bit concerned...we have a 2.5 year old Scottish Highland heifer due to calve mid April, not really showing any signs with her bag filling, back end is not looking floppy at all, but she's now limping on her right hind leg, breathing pretty heavily, and overall is not looking very well...

    Idea for direct marketing of beef

    On a trip to Argentina a few years ago, we went shopping at the supermercado. Came across this and had to buy it. They do have some great steaks there, but I don't think we have any worries about their marketing of it. What do you think?

    Calf nursing another cow

    We had a angus heifer calf born January 20th who was on her mom and doing well. Last week, our Hereford delivered a little bull calf who is also doing very well. The Hereford's udder is probably 3 x the size of the angus, and now the heifer calf seems to prefer to nurse from the Hereford, who...

    New calf + 6 week calf photos

    Had a new calf Saturday from our Hereford (bred with a Dexter bull) We are calling him "Tank". Wishful thinking perhaps? He was 75 lbs. He's very cute and we'd love to keep him around for a while. Also a photo of our Angus born 6 weeks ago, she seemed to struggle a bit with the cold temps...

    How do they get semen for A.I.?

    I've been wondering.....Exactly how do they get semen from some of these A.I. bulls? Do they have some kind of blow up heifer/cow, or is this a possible idea for that show on cable " Dirty Jobs " ?

    Essentials for new calves, calving

    Being new to the world of cattle, and with about 14 calves due in the next 2 months, I was wondering if anybody has a comprehensive list of necessary things to have on hand for before, during, and after (other than the number of a vet on the fridge). It would be a good idea to have it all in...

    Comments on our Dexter Bull

    My wife and I are fairly new to cattle but we picked up this bull along with a bred cow 5 months ago. He stands 38" at the shoulder. Wondering what those of you that are experts think of him? Hans [/img]

    New member and new calf too!

    Hello all, I've been looking at the post for quite a while and find a lot of great information. My wife and I are newbies to beef cattle, starting just last August. We have our first calf, a Black Angus born 2 weeks ago. I think it was about -5 f when she was born, it's been in single digits...
