I have the same thing. My cows will clean a canandian thistle patch from the top clear down to a stubble. Its interesting to watch as even the calves will eat them by the time they are a few weeks old. Also will clean up any burdock and horse weed the can get a hold of, as a matter of fact this...

THANKS WALT!!!! I agree 100%!!! I was an oddball when I signed up I guess, because I actually used my REAL farm name and location. However I go by a nickname and have for 25 years which is............Shorty.

I know how they feel, I have had teeth problems since I was 10 myself! :lol: Oh well, on to Dun's question. I have one cow out of 30 total which is over 8, and she is seventeen and has raised a calf every year since I own her, which is since 11, also bred for 2009!!! She is still as strait and...

I would second this!!

(I will only tell you as much as I know, which ain't much) I am agressively trying to learn all this though. As an answer, just by reading the tag, and compairing the ingredients, they are high in % of calcium or phosphorus. As for ADE, it is nothing except A, D & E. I know, this is not a very...

Interesting thread!! I do not know the answers, however I am doing a little research totally on my own to see what the outcome is. Have been playing with it for two years now. There has been lots of talk about kelp, is it worth the money or not and I don't pretend to know the answer but hope to...

We calve here in April and May. The reason we chose then was because the grass is coming on strong by then and felt like the nutritional requirements were easier met for the cows at this time, plus no pesty flies yet and the temperature was about right. Just our way, not saying it's right. Have...

I think it will taste ok, however like granny stated, your special cuts will be small.

I think you can get in big trouble if you just turn them loose. You need to ration them somehow, or mix salt with it to some fashion, I don't remember how much salt though. :?:

Hey Todd, I am not Knersie, however I will inject my experience here and see what he says later when he comes back. I had some long legged cows and bred them to a short cannonboned bull, the result............ The calves are short boned!!! Does that say it is always the bull???? :?: EDIT..Oh...

I have to agree with you Dun. I have a neighbor that is milking right at 40 head, certified organic and this dude has got it working!! He told me exactly what he did last year $$$ wise and all I can say is WOW! And NO he does not have his land paid for. He started out with 80 acres and bought...

Hey Girls, and the excitment begins!

I do not know if I can truthfully answer your question, however will pass on what I was told. When we bought this farm we also had lots of pine planted for wind-breaks ETC. and was told horses (I don't remember about cattle?) absolutely need to be kept away from them. I was told the needles...

Walt, I think that is very nicely put! I am in this situation as well and love the evenings after work!!

Thanks, I only get that lucky once in a while!!

Thanks KNERSIE, (I feel very good about this crop so far!) My plan is to get a few better photos of the bull they are out of, then post a pic of him with his first group of offspring now that I know how to post pics.

Bigbull, Coming from you, I take that as a serious compliment! Thanks, you made my day!

Well Dun, Thats a whole lot easier for a dummy like me!! Thanks for the tip, now I need to actually get some good photos and start sharing them and getting opinions! Fire away!
