I was wondering what kind of setup is there to raise a cow up? what kind of home made object is there.
Is there something on the Market to purchase to raise cows?
Sorry to here about your Neighbor. Had to pull a calf a couple yrs ago and the Cow charged at me and broke my arm could have been a lot worse I guess. that same cow will come up and eat out of your hand now, you just never know.
I just sold some Calves this week that were born in April 05, there weight was between 330 lbs. and 440 lbs. does that seem like an average weight for crossbred calves.
Good advice its a shame you have to spend hard money because of sorry people, but in the long run it is proberly cheaper then the trouble they can cause you.
To trap, you need to know what you are trapping. Cabela's has a small game camera on sale for around $60. Motion sets it off. I know this would be an additional expense but maybe you could use it for something else. ;-)
Wal-Mart has the same Camera for about the same price. save on shipping.
