    Kubota re-gen

    Yes sometimes that works. Other times I have to stop work, place in neutral and go through the regen cycle to reset it.

    Kubota re-gen

    I have a 2018 Kubota M6060 that does not require def. When using the tractor in lower RPM's the re-gen light comes on and I have to go through the re-gen cycle to continue using the tractor. As long as I stay above 2100-2200 rpm the tractor is fine with no issues. Sometimes when using the...

    joints popping and cracking

    I have a one year old heifer calf (Longhorn). As I was feeding this weekend I noticed everytime she walked her knees and ankles popped. Sounded like me when I first get up of a morning. Checked on her a couple of days later and I do not hear anything as she walks. Is this something I should...

    Old Hay

    This may have been discussed but using the search I was unable to find it. What would you do with old wet round bails of Hay. I have about 10 rolls that were stored outside that was rained on throughout the winter months that we did not feed. Will this make the cows sick if I put it out...

    Processing Steer

    Started out as "yard art". He came with the starter herd I bought. With the drought, cost of feed etc. it's time for him to go.

    Processing Steer

    I have a healthy 5 year old Longhorn Steer that I want to have processed. Is this steer to old for anything but ground beef? This is our first steer of this age to process and want to get the best quality of meats we can. Thanks for any input.

    First for me, need advice

    Well yall were right. The calf must have been hidden during our searching for it during the last two days. It was injured and has limited use of one rear leg. The momma was going to the calf that was hidden and taking care of it. I took one of our dogs into the pasture and the momma ran to...

    First for me, need advice

    We had a two week old calf die/disappear. We have searched for two days on our 50 acres but have not found any signs of him. Does the momma cow need a shot to dry her milk up if the calf cannot be located. Any advice would be appreciated.

    Remedy (brush control)

    I just bought my first gallon of remedy. I have about 15 acres I want to spot treat for mesquites, blackthorns and cactus. I have a 15 gallon sprayer on our ATV and wondered what mixture would work best. I've heard mixing diesel and remedy, but how much? Then do you add water to it to fill it...

    Winter Hay question

    Thanks to all you who posted a reply. I don't think I will go without the hay during the winter. I'm fencing off a place so I can store some round bales, and with a tumblebug I can feed them as I need to. I will also get some square bales and store under some tarps, on some pallets so if it's...

    Winter Hay question

    This may be a very stupid question but I'm going to ask anyway. We have a small herd of 12 longhorn cows. We have 53 acres they run on, but our pasture has not been fertilized in several years. If we feed grain, minerals, and other supplements can we get through the winter without feeding hay...

    Longhorn Bull behavior

    Went out yesterday and watched the herd for a while. Watched the bull approach the calf in question, and was prepared to intervene if necessary. The bull walked up to the calf and was as gentle and nuturing as anyone could want. Calf was not afraid of the bull, and even instigated some...

    Longhorn Bull behavior

    I need some advice. I have a small herd of Texas Longhorns (9cows/1bull). For the second year in a row our bull does a strange thing with one particular cow's calf. She is the oldest cow, who is 5 now. As she brings her newborn calf back to the herd the bull approaches the calf. He then...

    Texas Longhorn

    There are quite a few people on here that raise Longhorn but they definitely are a minority. You can still get good responses on most issues. I know I have. I have a small herd that I started two years ago. I only have 13 head, and have got a lot of valuable information here. :tiphat:

    Working Pen

    I have 13 head of Texas Longhorn Cattle. Bull/Cows/5 calves. I do not have a working pen yet and need to build one. Can anyone give me some ballpark measurements on the size of a pen needed to work this number of cattle. I was thinking of using a medina gate to work them once inside the pen...
