I am sorry to hear that you are not happy with the gate opener as well AC... :) I have considered you two to be the exemplary married couple. Not sure which of you cooks the best as there is some controversy as to who cooked what.

Vic: I think that you should stop being so mean to Blessed cows. :) I think that we owe it to her to answer her question. BC: Your bull seems to be of adequate length. I would like to see more adequate muscling and more evidence of masculinity. Your bull looks like a steer to me and I...

Let's see here.... Tested pregnant in January, this is June, Longhorn cow, not much calving problems there. I would guess that you have a live, but hidden calf that should make an appearance in a day or two...

I would never breed a young unproven bull with a low accuracy, but relatively high bw epd to heifers. you have no idea what you are going to end up with. He could throw lighter than average calves or much higher than average calves. You lose one of those calves or even the heifer calving and...

I have a friend that is a hired hand on a farm that farms about 6000 acres and they are continually buying new combines and tractors. He likes to say things to me like: "you ought to check out the new tractor we just bought" "Why don't you get a new tractor?" I told him, what are you...

M S: You don't need to pay the vet a trip fee to get this done, give the shot yourself. Get the lutalyse from him and save the money.

TMC: How is it possible that you have a Char-Angus cross heifer, I thought Chars were cow killers, or is it an orphan, that you raised on the bottle?

Kit Pharo recently came out with an article about fenceline weaning in order to solve all our problems, which is apparently his mission in life. :) Fenceline weaning works perfectly for me, if the fences are about 1/4 mile apart, both hot, and the one surrounding the calves is at least 6...

He should be able to breed 35 cows with no problem.

How many times did you loop the chains on the calves legs?

:D :D :D

So true.

Ever noticed what a heifer does when you go out to check her every little bit when she is calving. She stops what she is doing and checks you out. This ends forward progress. We don't watch them once they start for an hour or so. I used to stand around and it finally occurred to me that that...

It must have been a tramatic birth, since he came out castrated! :D

Dun is right, listen to him. Vets do not want to clean cows anymore, and in my experience, the ones that do get cleaned either don't breed back or do so late.

Do you have to calve in a lot or Pen? We usually calve in the woods, no problems.

Why?

After a cow calves, the udder has a lot of swelling, in about 3 weeks, the swelling decreases, I think your calf is getting milk.

Absolutely I do! I also offer them some. They prefer Juicy Fruit, but one heifer likes big league chew. They can't seem to master blowing bubbles yet though.

Ya. you are good to go unless your left gives out. :)
