Did u get a weight? Big calf. The empty tub looks perfect for the job. We used to use square bales when we had some.

Well yesterday I had to go pick up a pull type sprayer from other side of the province. Didn’t have time to deal with the calf. Showed some potential in the morning so I just left it and hoped it got hungry enough on its own to get some milk. Cow was being a little special the other day so we...

Well not real well but could be worse. He can get up but I can’t get him to suck from the cow or even a bottle for that matter so I’ve been tube feeding him. His front legs aren’t fully straightened so that’s hindering him a bit. Keeps stumbling around and ending up in weird places. Any...

lol ya I got 2 straws left of resource. Definitely won’t be using them on her again.

The dam is commercial. She’s 3/4 angus and 1/4 gelbvieh. She’s a letter E so I think that 5 or 6.

Tried weighing the beast. I couldn’t get him totally off the ground with my sling but he is right around 130 lbs. Tube fed him and hopefully he gets up and going before too long.

And here it is. One whopper bull calf. Forgot to stick my arm to look for another but I’m quite sure there is room for only one of these. Biggest calf I’ve had for a long time. I’d like to see how much it weighs yet.

Ya she’s not getting anywhere in close to an hour so I think we are gonna have to go ahead and pull it. If the calf is from Resource will be close to 2 weeks over due by now.

The cow in discussion here is calving finally stay tuned for details.

Nothing yet. I’m terrible with guessing how far away from calving but I’d guess still another week. We are really getting calves now. Had a heifer calve this morning but she didn’t like her calf and is obsessed with a week old calf. So she’ll get locked up till she comes to her senses.

How do you push up the feed. Looks like it can get away on them. I just set up a bit of fence line feeder for my replacement heifers. I just shovel it back by hand on the 2nd day cause I feed every other day. But if I had miles of fence line feeders I’d have a different method for sure

I really don’t know. Probably just one calf. But she does have a good size belly. Been looking more at the right side now thanks to someone here. When we had some Herefords here we had 10% of them had twins. The next year was again close to 10% just under. So I watch for it a little more. We...

Same cow from the back.

I sure hope not lol. We did get them Preg checked in fall so they should be good unless they slipped a calf. Thanks, they’ve done quite well this winter on the feed and easy winter

She was AI’d to Resource June 19. Will see if she caught. Could be a week or 2 from calving if she caught. So of there’s more calf in there it would show up on the right side? And I will post again what the outcome is

Is she gonna have twins? Or one whopper of a calf.

Just got my sale book in the mail. Look forward to each of there sales. I may be wrong on this but I think they are the largest black angus seed stock operations in Canada. If not the largest then near the top. They run 1000 cows. I really admire the program. Was telling the wife the other day...

We have one of those sleds too and love it. We also put a longer rope. Can just about handle any cow and move the pair safely. Another thing so the foot doesn’t work its way out the top if u have a lively one we just drilled a couple holes and put a tarp strap across the front that holds the...

We do our own AI here and been happy with the results. Been at it for about 5 years now. Each year gets a little bit easier. Wish i knew how to Preg test the odd one. But I haven’t been bothered to learn how as we get the vet out and if we can run them through fast enough it’s only about 3 or...

While I believe twins can come from good nutrition i also wonder if there is a genetic connection. I had taken care of a guys cattle for a few years. They were Herefords and the owner desired twins for some strange reason but they would often try to keep genetics that had twins more of the time...
