What does the 4+ 0r 3+ mean?

Is there a withdrawal date on the tranqilizer?

I particulary like the silver and blue weimaraners, (hunting dogs) and the Plotter (looks like a blue visla.)

I bought two wild angus steers to show here at our fair. Well the first day out I was trying to catch them and tie them up and I got rope burn on my left hand badly. I quickly finished my work and went up to the house, and by that time my hand felt like it was on fire. I tried everything to cool...

True, everyone does everything different.

You're probably going to have a battle when transitioning a 10 day old calf from his mother to milk replacer,

Actually most dairies seperate the calves from the cows the first day of birth and bottle fed them from then on, starting with the first bottle as colstrum. They do this because they dont want the calf damaging the utter of the cow. The calves are kept in a small individual "calf dome". They are...

Thats a very good age to get a calf. A good choice to introduce kids to, but first time projects are the hardest for everyone. First starting out I would on get one per kid.

I would contact a Vet and ask, it may be many reasons. It could just be a bad habit she picked up, or a serious condition. I would consult a Vet!

Quite glad you used the real term for the bucket calves many call them bottle calves. Joining 4-h is really fun, you are able to do alot. I can answer basically any of your questions fo raising a bucket calf, I just need some to answer. Raising the calves are fun but require a lot of attention...

Well what are show kids who show 1200 lbs steer supposed to do when we buy the calves at a weight and they dont want to walk? Yes methods are risking,by walking a steer behnd a truck, but a steer is risky to begin with. Just like bull riders, they chose their profession because thats what they...

There are quite a few ways to make a steer walk. My 1200 lbs steer wouldnt walk for nothing. 1. Dont do the whole tie up and make him thirsty, because he may very well pull you to the water trough, instead of you walking him. I would rather have a steer that doesnt walk, then one that pulls me...

What we do is add up all the hay and grain expenses, plus what you payed for the steer, then divide it into 4 since ur quartering. and thats what the person pays for, no matter if it friend, co-workers, or family

Sorry, what i meant is that you can use that hot iron on the 2-3 weeks, but if the horns grow back and are to big for the the hot iron , you might need to use a barnes dehorner

no way, ive seen many cows/heifers with horns.

you can dehorn as young as two weeks old. waiting too long can be even harder because you cant use a iron dehorner,b ut now must use a barnes dehorner.

If the kid doesnt want to do it, then its the parents faught for making him, if the kid dont speak up that his problem, he'll just be stuck in it.

I agree, i notced at fair shows (cattle) its all about the competion, i show and im there to have fun, learn new things, get my knowledge of cattle up, but when you ask someone what breed their steer is or what they feed them, it like trying to pry open the jaws of live. they wont budge they...

I agree with you on picking out your best steer to ride around out, they listen better then most kids do. I raise steers for show, my steers arent babied, they get feed, rinsed off every now and then, and get to run 2-3 times a week. I noticed at fair time that kids were off playing in the...
