Could anyone explain the formula to me on how to figure out how much soybean meal to add to ground ear corn to make it be about 14-15% protien?

Kathy, You seem like a sweet person so I just want to warn you. Please don't make a pet out of this calf. It is very tempting and cute when they are babies to "play" with them, but when she gets older this behavior is very dangerous, even if she doesn't intent to hurt you, she can and will. So...

I'm sorry about your calf My grandpa once put a deer fawn through a chopper.... tho i don't think they found anything that even remotely looked like a leg. He felt bad for a while too, but it would easy to do when they are hunkered down trying to hide, so don't feel too bad.

I was trying to research how good it would be to feed cornstalks this winter cuz like everyone else around here i'm short on hay. I stumbled on this article. It's kinda old so some of you have probably read it, but it is a pretty good read and gives really specific numbers, especially on gain...

Well as far as managing the pasture goes, my dad has always done rotational grazing. He lets them pick through one pasture and when they get that mowed down pretty good he moves them to another one and chops the weeds down. And he doesn't do silage, just corn and hay. Any corn he has left over...

Hi everyone, I have a rather long question. My father is a dairy farmer in Wisconsin and he is about to turn 60. He milks 26 cows in a stanchion barn and has been doing it his entire life. Unfortunatley none of us kids are interested in milking (all I do is a several beef, it's too much work to...
