What kind of hay was you feeding and how was it put up. Would be my first guess when looking for a reason on something like that or on them slinking calves all of a sudden. Basically asking if it was put up damp maybe some mold in it? Specially if it was sudan grass or something similiar seems...

Isnt this typical of a galloway bull. I mean the whole hard to find one being agressive i figured way things are said about them they always acted like yearling or two year olds in terms of agressiveness. My FIL has a coming two year old bull that man can get salty. Just the difference from...

Also if your in a colder area it sure dont hurt to have some blankets to rub a calf down with incase of being to cold. Some straw to bust out on the ground when it is real cold (so that newborn wet calf aint laying on frozen ground and snow getting the heat sucked out of it) and if calving close...

All we use. Seemed back when we was pulling char calves out of cows ,aww the good old days dont miss that a bit, the chain was way harder than the straps on the calves legs specially the hide talking about a real hard pull that is.

Yeah i am gonna agree with everyone else. i have seen alot of yearling and two year old bulls put in with mature ones and never seen a problem. Matter in fact i know alot of poeple who will put a yearling bull in the pasture with the mature ones for breeding season just to keep the older ones on...

When do bulls get mean. well in my experience its usually when some jack azz jumps in the corrals and starts to whoop and hollar or when one shows up on a 4wheeler thinking they know what thier doing. point being every bull gets mean if given the proper motivation. also most of them stay calm if...

Well i guess i finally got sucked into this one as well. heck ill say somethings and maybe they you all will jump on me the same as you are on old 3way. one i havent got this many laughs for awhile except some of the jokes over in coffe shop part of CT. heck this is as good for arguing as one...

haad that problem once. no matter how many time ya called the guy he wouldnt do nuthin. he wasnt living there just leasing some ground. type of guy that if he knows your gonna move cattle he will put his in the pasture ya need to go through just to be in the way. fixed the problem though. 2...

understandable but if ya already paid for them i would expect them upon agreed date. from the people i see raising bulls pleasing their customers is very important and they would have the ones tested and sent already even if wasnt as convienent as waiting.

yeah it is wet right now. ours is a normal spring so far. snow melts than it rains 60 degrees one day than the next it is 20 and snowing and blowing again. makes for a muddy mess. i would gladly give ya our moisture and dry up some here cause i have 2000 bales of hay to haul and cant do it...

really i was always taught specially if they were in some water to grab the back legs and lift them up and down quit a few times press on ribs some and lift up again and usually the stuff comes out. then lay on thier stomache propped up till they get to suckin air good.

i have actually been thinkin about going to a class for AI and was gonna ask where people thought some good ones to look into were. and also about the job industry if doing it?

well we have calved in some dang colt weather and blizzards cuse sometime people think feb is a good month to calve. never have used a calf coat. most we have done it if they can get into the trees for wind break we will use a processpr and put down windrows of straw. different places not just...

tie legs back im trying to tie them together with the hobble. j/k :lol2: flank strap like on a bronc? will stop them from kicking?

Ok yeah i have heard of that. this isnt a chute. just a head catch then has a panel on once side mounted solid and a swinging gate on the other. i am not sure what a madena gate is but the way people describe them it would be something simaliar with what i have pictured in my mind. than i just...

those look like they would tear up a cows leg if left on and sent out in a pen. i think ill stick with horse hobbles. but i bet that is what he was talkin about though.
