My grandpa had one last fall like that real bad. You'd step out of the truck and if she was 50 yards from you she'd come running at you with business and would be more than ready to get in the cab with you. She was miss handled prior and reason she was so cheap. Way he'd do it is drive to her...

youve probably finished working already but here is another tip to slow down the bleeding: take twine or bailing wire and wrap it tightly around the top of their head at the base of the horns. You will slow down the bleeding that way. A guy around here told us about it, he just lets it rot...

Dont know if its worth your trouble but thats not to hard to fix. Find a tree branch in the shape of a Y with a think base at the bottom. Put that around the cows neck for a week, just tie it at the top (we use wire and a piece of old hose so it didnt hurt). They wont be able to lift up their...

Im going to guess he wants to resell. But I agree why pull the tag off unless you are trying to pull a fast one on someone about the state of the cow. In which case i personally just dont agree.

Molasses helps cattle eat the old leaves of milo better (having molasses available). May help get more out of the corn, but like everyone said some of that they just wont touch, its not worth much to them. Especially if you have green grass coming in.

Wow you guys work harder in the cold than I ever do. If its stuck to ice we just gut what we can get and move on. It will warm up eventually and we can get it then haha. I liked what Jo said about preseving the knife blade. Smart idea instead of just cutting across the bale.

Dont forget to keep opening new accounts at competing banks and get those bonuses they offer like $50 when you open a savings account for 6 months. My dad seems to think its worth his time

I think if you just left the bale there with the wrap on you'd still have more waste than if you use a feeder. As to the original poster it happens. A guy down the road had a big calf that was chockin himself as he was trying to get out. Luckily he saw it and cut the feeder so the calf could...

Well I figure he'd make more taking him to the sale barn is all. Everyone is right if you can't do it with out getting hurt then I guess you have no choice. But with the right facilities and knowledge it can be done.

I would not shoot him. Bez is right a couple months to maybe a year ago we had this exact post. Once we loaded a young bull which was exactly the same way. He had so much fight he took out every gate. We got him in a half finished barn and he was raming the posts when you were on the other...

You dont worry about that. It will blend in with all the rest of the WD-40

I agree with Dun unles you are going to haul cattle a trailer is a big expense and Im sure a local neighbor wouldnt mind loading up and takign them down for a little bit of cash. I know we do that. people pay a bit to cover them and we load thema nd haul them down. It works out well cause we...

To my memory it worked actually. Id say most cows will try to jump when you pressure them enough. This one was just jumping over to eat grass on the other side or god knows what. But your right, some people would rather sell her. For us this was our prefered method.

when its that easy to fix them and the raise a good calf its worth the time and money. :nod:

We did this a while back and just wanted to share it because it wasn't somethign I would of came up with on my own. While working for my grandpa last summer we had a cow that had gotten into a nasty habit of jumping fences. She was a pretty testy cow that you could tell was always planning her...

A pellet gun would even do the trick. Or a hammer or club of some sort. Seems wierd to me to spend your time suffocating squirrels with dry ice.

That soudns a bit odd to me.... Why bother? shoot them if they are that bad.

There ya go. Ive been bit so much they just cant bite me anymore. And im tellin you squeezing and not scratching alwasy better haha. Get that poison out. Was listening to the radio and they said if you rubbed a pineapple grind on them it helps. Who knows though.

rubbin alchol or store bought OH work perfect. Also dont scratch, sqeeze the poison out. And once you get bit enough you will become immune. I dont even notice the bites anymore (no bump or itch or anything, just feel the pinch when tehy actually get me). The ants are a bit crazier in Texas...

that black snake gave me the shivers! I hope you killed the damn thing. We were drivin to check up on cattle and saw a snake sun bathin in the path. Me and my cousin jumped out but it slithered in the creek so we grabbed the pitch fork andjust jabbed till we hit it. Turned out to be a water...
