She's the best kind of cow. She's the kind that make money. You could sell her this fall, get $550 + for the calf and get $450 for the cow. I wish I could buy 100 like her and double my money on every one of them.

With soy bean hull pellets having about 14% protein and & 80% TDN, what would be wrong with growing bulls out on sbh & quality hay?

mineral rights is what really pays. :D

During last years drought, This man tells me he fed a semi-load of rejected bisquick and tampons to his cattle when grass was scarse. He said the tampons were for filler. Has there ever been a crazier blend?

To me it's like the pond vs. lake comparison. In Arkansas, if you can throw a rock across it; it's a pond. The same could be said of the ranch vs. farm situation.

You're in Wisconsin. How hot can it get? Set up your calving season for April and May and don't worry about it.

Well, it burst. I didn't even bother with lancing and LA 200. The calf was never sick. It popped & pus came out... now the swelling is going down. :idea: I think I can become an expert at ignoring health problems.

No, what I am talking about is about as big as...almost as big as a tennis ball just to the side of the cow's anus.

Has anyone ever got their whole herd in the corral and sprayed fly control out of their spray rig? That is an easy fix for me.

Is their any strong opinions against the ivermectin worm and fly control? I have found ivomax (I think that's the name) for $100 for 5 liters. I make sure there is no rain in the forcast and I dose them about 1 1/2 what is required. Can a small overdose hurt cattle at all? Does anyone have...

I don't know what it's called, but I usually lance it to let it bleed and then give a LA200. What are these things and what can I do to prevent them? Will Dun's intentional neglect theory apply to these infections?

What do you guys do with fire ants concerning your cattle? I would assume a calf born on top of a fire ant mound will be a dead one eventually. Will fire ants kill a newborn? Do you guys suggest just trying to calve early to avoid fire ants or do you broadcast bait?

over the weekend. :D Just put out three tons of fertilizer.

I have a friend who manages a ranch with over 500 head of registered animals. He is much more knowledgeable than my area vet; who might be milking a cat after he helps me. I trust the man with the "cattle experience." I know that all vets are not equal, but it's hard for them to be great at...

and you don't have her in a catch pen, what's your best solution? I've got a good friend that came out and helped me the other day. He roped a heifer in trouble, we got her tied to a tree, and luckily she layed down. I pulled my truck up behind her, got chains on the calf and pulled out a...

It might have been worth discussing at one time, but it has played out. Let's stop it :secret: please.

Somebody needs to quote Rodney King, "Can't we all just get along?

I would say the same thing about pharmer. I would die to protect him. Sounds like you and I have something in common. We protect our friends...and I'm not trying to get caustic's goat. I respect him. I just think he's a grouchy old kogger. I will ask him & you for help in the future. I...

If people would post on a board like they talk to a man in person, none of this would ever occur....I apologize if I have ever come across as rude to you. It wasn't intended.

I don't care how many stars you have by your name. Where I'm from, you treat people the way you want to be treated. I thought that was the way a gentleman did it. I've never put a pencil to my cost per cow either, but I know that I'm 7 months away from having 30 registered red angus mommas...
