These cows are not old. I'd be culling a few heifers and keeping these girls. Push button cows are what every cattleman needs. We have animals close to 20 here - they are regular and always raise a good one. Lots of years left yet. How much time and effort and worry and money you spending on...

Rain, sleet and snow - I let them do it on their own. Works for us in this part of the world. Just let her do what she is designed to do. Bez>

Best bet to maximize profit on 40 acres is to stay out of cattle and do something else. Too big a cost for the return. Cash flow is the secret to small lots of land and cows do not provide it. Bez>

Welcome to the world of haying. It happens - and it will continue to happen. Is it lousy hay? Yup. There might come a time when you are darned happy to have it. Bale it and feed it out. Use it as bedding if necessary - saves on the cost of straw. Stack it, cover it and leave it for a...

P.O'd neighbour? Bez>

I am no longer in Alberta. We used to ship south to Grande Prairie - but it actually cost us money - we started shipping to Westlock outside Edmonton and that helped, but the haul was long and expensive - ate up a lot of profit. Bez>

Well Mike I suspect your situation is very different from many in Canada. Trying to find a buyer within 200 miles that might compete with the sale barn is easier said than done. In fact you may have to go out to about 500 for a major buyer. Our nearest competition that is a possibility for us...

While we do almost everything mentioned above, most of the sales here do not provide anything more than those who wean on the truck and ship asap. Because of this we have stopped holding over anything that does not go directly out the front gate to a client. Some may see the premium - but it...

Which is why I leave them roam with the cows. Can't even give this little POS away - no one wants it. Turned down another 100 acres of free hay today - we are swamped. Seems my phone rings every day - come and bale it and it is yours. Did about 100 acres of custom baling today - 5 five...

One gallon a day? Ok - still seems light to me - but then again what the he ll do I know about bottle babies. Regards Bez>

If you are feeding this animal just throw a Hi Boot block out there and it will lick as required. Your feed outfit will know what I mean - it is a trace mineral and salt block - or do nothing as it is not truly necessary yet. Two bottles seems a little on the short side for replacer - the calf...

Any time the temperature gets over 75 degrees F I start to get over heated. Bez>

Sigh ........

You are late - now it will set them back. Do it before they turn one month. If you have not done it and you want to do it now - you better have someone else do it. Look up this topic on "search" - I am too tired to write yet again another explanation on how to do it. Best bet for you - spend...

No help today - on your own - I am running from this one. :lol: Bez>

Looks like you were right after all! :D Bez>

Surely you jest young man. :lol: Bez>

Well grubbie - you are not alone. We no longer sell any hay to horse folks. Too much trouble - they see ours eating round bales and complain if there is anything "perceived" wong with the hay. Funny how our horses are so healthy eating that dusty and mouldy hay. :lol: So now, I tell them we...

You can thank your legislators for banning horse slaughter in order to pacify the animal lovers. I have eaten and will eat any time - horse meat. It is excellent. When in certain parts of Europe you order steak or roast - if you do not specify beef - it is likely you will get horse. Had an...

You need to do a bit more research - and consider calling someone from a company like Semex - I think someone is not seeing you coming down the road, they are sending for you. Bez>
