Actually for highlands, your calf would be considered dun. These are my two heifer calves right after they arrived at about two weeks old.

I got my highland about a month ago. They didn't have alot of contact with people, but they learned quickly we were where the food came from and settled right in. We kept them seperate in a smaller pasture and just kind of hung around with them. (Not in the pasture, just outside so they could...

I made one myself. It's a 5 gallon bucket with a lid that has a 4 in PVC pipe attached to the bottom, about 2 1/2 ft long with the end tapered slightly. I pour the minerals in the top and put a feed pan underneath. It's easy(and inexpensive!) to make and the cows don't have a problem with thier...

Yuck, I don't like fat :shock: , so I don't think that would be very tasty. Hubby would love it though. I wondered why the name difference, thanks. I'd like to see the answer to your question as well. I would think that it would do well here in the US, but then again, horse meat is a delicacy...

Well, I know the beef is extremely expensive, but I don't know why. Does it taste better? Is it leaner? Is it more tender? Is it healthier for you? Are the animals more expensive than say a high quality beef animal? Why is it called Kobe beef if it's from a Wagyu cow? Have I missed anything? ;-)

My ex lives in Broken Bow, and he owes me almost 60K in child support, so make sure you level it!! I'll never see that money anyway. :x

I have my 24 year old mare on beet pulp now, I can probably put the two cows on some for a little while too. I love the stuff, it does great for under weight horses. My soon to be, 9 year old son LOVES your tagline Paso, he's a little dragon freak! Wants everything dragon. I'm trying to find...

Hey Victoria, I didn't think they knew exactly where their horns were until I saw one of the girls tilt her head back and scratch herself with the tip of her horn. Sometimes I wish I had horns just for that reason. There's always a spot I can't quite seem to reach! :P

Walk softly but carry a BIG stick! ;-) We haven't had to do most of the things you listed yet. We feed our 4, in seperate pans. But mine will bowl you over if you don't drop the feed fast enough. I saw one of the mommas flip it's baby in the air with her horns, by accident. Made a complete...

I have a horse that has colicked already, plus a horse that has choked, and my vet recommends that I don't feed it. I know there are tons of people that feed it with no problems. But people tend to cut it too short around here and that makes it easier to cause an impaction. All I plan on...

Hey, Thanks for all the replies. I'll try to answer all the questions. TTCLM- Around here that's a good price for sweet feed. Others run a bit higher. Bullbuyer- That's why I was asking about the oats, I know they are ok for horses, but wasn't sure about cows. I am giving them free chocie...

BBM- I've only had them about a month and we wormed them when they first got here. So yes they were wormed. I'll worm them again, this month since I think they need it. aplusmnt- I know a guy that can make a custom feed. He isn't too far away, so that is an option. The sweet feed is $5.65 a 50#...

Sorry for your loss Holly. At least you have healthy baby. Maybe he/she will have a temperment like momma.

I should also mention that one of the cows is 14 and that the only hay we can find right now is not great quality. It's good enough to feed it to my horses, but it's not great. The normal hay for this area is fescue, alfalfa is waaay expensive, as is timothy. Fescue and coastal is the main hay...

For those of you that use feed, what do you use? I have my new highlands and they came a bit under weight.(I can see hip bones, tail head etc.... and if they were short haired, I'd probably be able to see some ribs. :( ) We have them on horse/cow sweeet feed, fescue hay (When I can get ahold of...

LOL...I don't have a cow magnet yet, but I have several horsey ones. They girls are doing great! We can now pet them without getting impaled. :shock: They are picking up weight and are pretty darn happy to be out of the mud. I've named the black heifer, but I'm having a hard time naming the...

What the he!! are cow magnets and do people really use them? Hubby just got a dairy products mag in the mail and found this when browsing through it. I've never heard of such a thing. :shock:

LOL....Nope! Can't say that I do. :P

OMG! I thought I was the only one who thought that! Everytime I mention it to anyone else, they all look at me like I'm crazy. (I am, but that's beside the point. ;-) ) My son also likes the smell, as long as it isn't too close or too strong.

I was wondering what you and cattlemen (and women :) ) thought of this program and how it will affect you. Also the difference of larger farms as opposed to small family run operations. There have been discussions of the effect that it will have on the horse community on another message board...
