:welcome: Sorry I cannot answer your question but welcome to the board.

What are stockers?

Welcome :welcome: I know so little it is scary but what I do know is these folks here are very helpful. Good Luck

I can tell you from getting advice on this board. I put mine in a pen for a few days and they have stayed put ever since. These folks really know what they are talking about.

Welcome :welcome:

Thanks for answering the ear question everyone. I assume from what I have read that my Brangus would be big eared heifers?

sorry, but what is "ear"?

:welcome: From beautiful Muse Florida

Thanks Karin, I do see what you mean by the bottom board. I also found out what I think was wrong with the electric fence. It was wiored up temporarily and I didn't use a big emough wire for the distance to the transformer, hence not enough juice. Still learning.

Thanks Valerie, I think you might be right. The one my wife named spunky is certainly living up to her name. Fearless and seems pretty smart.

Thanks SR. I am trying to determine what the problem is. I have 8,000 and the green light is on but they still came through. I don't know if one of them pushed and the rest followed because I wasn't there. I will spend more time on it this weekend. Thanks for the help.

Here are a couple of the girls.

:welcome: That looks like that real expensive barbed wire you are using there. Nice job.

Thanks everybody. Yes, I built a salt and mineral box with roof. I don't even want to think about the calves yet. Shudder!

I get my first four heifers tomorrow. I hope I am ready. I have gone around the properety and fixed the fences, I have built a pen and put the hay feeder with hay in the center of it. I have sloped the sides of the pond to allow access to water. I have strung the electric fence around the...

Hi, I am in Glades County Florida. Do a search at the top of the main page on flys. I remember quite a lengthy discussion but I can't put my finger on it right now.

Nobody around my area seems to mark their cows in any way I can see. Is this normal or are they all just hopeful. I can't afford to lose mine if they happen to get out. What do you all suggest?
