A little grain 2X a day will help .Also see if your neighbor has an old cow with a calf which he doesn't want to re-breed and put them in wth the calves.They will be settled around an old cow.

For permanant fence,I would use 12.5 ga hi-tensile smooth wire and pin-lock insulators on posts with ceramic or tube type corners. :welcome:

If you can't get a ground in that deep( i don't),you can use two or three in tandem about 10' apart or dig down 2' or so and lay them flat.

To get a better answer to question,please tell us what size cow herd you have,tractor you have and how much hay you have to cut.There are a lot of variables to consider. Please advise.

What is on the other side of the fence line? If it is a road or other open land,I would not use less than three.Check to se if your county has a fence law.

I like to put in a strainer like you use in high tensile wire.You can lightly tighten the wire and staple then ratchet the slack.

I built a 4X7.5 mineral/salt feeder this year from an idea I got looking at a brochure form P H White complete with "A" roof. Hung 10' rubs on sides and 5' on ends with Flyps. Haven't treated as often as I should :dunce: but fly control is good consdering.

You can get along fine with the cheaper feeders if you move them out of the mess. I'd get two of them but would also buy an unroller for about $800.00 and roll them out if you have enough land to feed on.This scatters the manure and builds the soil instead of making mud holes that need to be...

The old fodder was cut earlierr than today's before it was completely dead probably between today's late silage stage and shelling stage. It was "shocked" in the fields and left for the ear to dry some and then husked.We have fed a very limited amout straight from the field when cutting out to...

Don't think it will hurt them but I doubt yiu can clean them.I like to put a good coating of some typeof dressing on them pretty sonn after i get them.Bear brand is what I use but bee waxis good ,too.Get boots warm to touch and the grease will melt into the leather.Allow to soak in then put on...

I would think the calves would get less of a concentration after they are born

I have kept a couple until 19 and one until 21 but you have to be careful trying this.

Around $2.00 per loaded mile for a 24' X8' straight truck.20'X 7' trtailer of my cousin's slightly less but the truck and trailer are paid for long ago and the straigt truck guy has the truck for himself anyway.

` Don't make the same mistake we did once and start stapling before you check all the way back.We pulled two rolls with a 4X4 tractor and stopped when the wheels spun then started nailing without checking .The further we went back the more loose the wire was.Still turned cattle but looked sloppy.

I like a base layer of polypropolene since I perspire a lot and when you are you are colder.If its real cold,I like to use a balaclava that can beworn several ways.In the snow,I highly recommend Northerner boots made by Servus

Take it from someone whos been around bulls a lifetime.Never trust one completely.He can kill you just trying to be playful.That said, there are plenty of quiet bulls out there who never show aggression and handle well.Until you absolutely know these bulls, always keep stick of some type with...

EVERYONE IN ALA. needs to let their rep know they are watching and November is coming.DON'T stand around and think someone else will do it.I am calling family in Ala and letting them know about this. :mad:

I would wait until after some good rains so the litter would have time to get into the ground and toward the roots.Probably have less chance of coccidiosis.Make sure you are feeding magnesium to brood cows.
