Sorry, but I tend to think there's a little validity to this comment. Why on earth is your husband still chit-chatting with her? No! No! No! I'm divorced, with children and all, my I repeat ALL I speak to my husband about is the children. If he attempts to do any chit-chatting, I remind...

Wow, that white on them is REALLY WHITE! I was admiring the pasture as well. Edit: After I posted I was showing my husband the photo's and he remarked, "Dang, their white. Did he wash 'em or something?" lol We're still in the mud season.

Will do alabama. Thanks.

Thanks Bez>. You've been a wealth of knowledge and I appreciate you checking this thread often and answering my questions. Your a true asset to this board.

Thanks Ryder. I am a bit hesitant but I'm gonna have it done. I called the vet and he said without examining the animal it's hard to say what method would work best but he's guessing either a saw or using cutting wire, and cauterising the exposed blood vessels. I have no idea what cutting...

Wow, simple question and so many replies. Why I want her horns off? Well, she was the first cow we've owned since buying this place.....and will die here. We got pretty attached to her. She's a great cow, one of our best looking and pretty friendly most of the time. One of those cows you...

Okay, after reading all the posts....I'm guessing I should wait until fall? I havent seen a fly yet but then again we're still getting a bit of snow here and there. What do you think? Wait for fall (September-October) to dehorn as a precaution. One note on waiting.....the cow that needs to...

I apologize in advance if this next question is stupid but I dont know the answer so.... Does it matter if we have rain or snow after the horns are taken off? I mean, what if rain or snow got in the holes? Would that cause any problems? And how big of holes would be open on a two year old?

How hard is it to dehorn a 2 year old hereford cow? I have no intention of doing it myself, I'd haul her to the vet's office. I know it's best to do it when their young but we didn't own her then. It can still be done, right? I was wanting to haul her down before the flies come out...

Dang! I'm SO gullible! I turned to my husband and asked him if he's ever heard of PETAB. He said "NO. But it wouldnt surprise me some PETA group coming up with such a thing". It took the comment from BEZ before I finally "got it".......hello! It's April 1st! Duh! :oops:

Yes, he does move his shelter everyday but what about the days that it's raining hard, snowing, blowing, etc. We have 70-80 chickens and I can tell you first hand that they refuse to go outside in those conditions.....they stay inside. And what about during the night? Chickens normally go in...

This is an interesting idea. When I called the extention office a couple weeks ago they told me I was the second call that week inquiring about an AI tech needed. When I asked about the other caller, she said the person didnt have a bull and needed one for a small number of cattle. That's a...

I'm not worried about sickness in regard to buying a bull, just when leasing one. Sorry, that's what I was talking about. Not many cattlemen around here are willing to lease bulls based on their bull contracting new diseases from being leased out. We've got 8 head total, angus crosses and a...

Where we live it's quite small. We're the largest city in our county even though our cities population is less than 3000. We have a small cattle herd. We need to get them bred. I had planned on having them AI'd but had trouble finding an AI tech. I called our local vet and he told me that...
