Hit them with an 8-way for the Clostridials. Titanium 5, (or the like) + Haemophilus/Pasturella for the respritories. Worm them. If they come out of an pasture with snails in the water, use a wormer that kills fluke. And I give mine a shot of multi-min.

If you are looking at hereford angus offspring I would look at putting a hereford bull on some good angus cows. It is a lot easier to find good angus cows that good hereford cows.

Everything I keep as a weaner is a replacement heifers. Mine get Titanium 5 H+P, 8 way, Multi-min, Valbazin wormer, and a pour-on. We also freeze brand at weaning. I would avoid implanting any heifers I was going to keep as a herd replacement. Steers and heifers I was going to sell would most...

My grandmother has been placed in a long term care facility and my family is looking to sell their almost 100 year old ranch and all belongings. All farm equipment, ranching supplies, grain mill materials, etc., have all been in barns or the old grain mill and there is no weathering on any...

Does anyone have a good source to get a replacement cork for a seman tank? Are most corks a standard size or do I need to go to the manufacturer?

If you are only branding cows I would go with a 3 or 4 inch iron. If you want to brand calves also buy a 2 inch iron. Here in the west, there are lots of cows with 2 and 3 irons on them.

Does anyone have a website that sells replacement parts for a power river calf table?

When in doubt, get the knife out.

In California, we are required to vaccinate for Bangs. We had an outbreak in the mid-80s. Trust me it isn't fun trying to get rid of it.

try craigs list. I have see some posts for panels in the past.

I belong to my local cattlemens association, but I refuse to belong to the national association. They have sold the producers out to many times in favor of the packers. If you want to join a cattlemans group look at Rcalf.

If a cow gets slammed hard she might abort. Work them easy and you shouldn't have any problems.

Dawn dish washing soap works well.

Did she breed and lose the calf the other 6 years, or was she open on the years she came in dry? There is no place on my ranch for a cow that doesn't breed. If she loses a calf she gets another chance but if she boesn't breed she is burger.

Too much ear and not enough ass. Would have made a better steer.

If you can tell where the markets are going, you should be working in New York or Chicago for the exchanges. You would be making a hell of a lot more money. My thinking is, it's going to take 10 years for the markets to stableize from the ethonal corn glut, and the oil price spike. Here in...

Why did I expect the people to be for this type of breeding to be from West Virginia or Arkansas? ;-)

Hate to tell you this, but there is a shortage of hay here in the west. Many of the ranches around here in NE California only put up half of the hay they did last year. The spring was so dry, that the nonirragated land didn't make a crop. As a result we are forced to use the "good hay" that we...

We worm about a month before we start to breed. By getting rid of the worms, the cows start to gain faster. A cow on the gain cycles faster than one not on the gain. Plus, do you really want to feed a worm for the summer.

There are to many good cows in this world to be dealing with something like that. As soon as the calf is weaned, she should become hamburger.
