Dun, these cows are in as good as shape as they have been all summer long. I can not see a single rib on the first one. Thats the reason I am going crazy over this

Scotty, you do mean supplement the cows not calves? Would bag feed do the trick.

I have a bunch of angus cows that just calved about two weeks ago. They dropped good bags just like they always do. In the last couple days I've noticed that all of them,even the best milkers, seems to be drying up. They have always done good on just grass and hay. Since its all of them, I was...

Caustic, thanks for the insight? Been thinking about a 5 wire electric fence along the road front. How did you know mine were angus, they must get out all over the world.

I live in nc. Is there someone from around here who can put me in touch with a good insurance company for things like this. I've never heard of such. My fences are really pretty good, but some of the cows are just knuckleheads.

I just returned from chasing cows back in. Peolple were flying down the road with the cows right at the edge of the road. If one of these cows were to get hit, would I be liable for the damage done to the car? Who would pay for the cow? Is there any type of insurance that can be purchased for...

I have built a feeder for my angus calves. They are around one month old. My question is can I paint it or will the paint be toxic to the cows and calves? Oil or latex?

thanks for all the advise. I do have people to mentor me in the area, but they are still farming back in the 1950's. The knowledge i've saw on this board is much more modern and cost effective. My family has cattle on pretty much all of the land around and all they say is " don't waste your money".

I'm from lexington,nc. Not many hog houses around here but I've spoke to some people about chicken or turkey houses and they say it's to costly to start without some old money. How much do they cost

brandonm2, I don't think I can handle the debt. I've got a growing family to think of first

bez,thanks for the help

BEZ, sorry I'm new to the cattle business and the boards. I will have access to all 100 acres.

I'm sorry. I own 100ac.

I'm from nc

60 acres of the property was leased. All is fenced,good water. I only made hay on 14 acres last year and got 108 5x6 rolls. 20ac I cannot make hay on. I do not have alot of money in lump sums. I make payments well.

I've taken over my grandfathers cattle business. As he got older he let the cattle numbers go down to just enough to pay for fertilize and his taxes. The problem is that I've got 10 cows on over 100 acres. My question is should I buy replacements or let the herd regenerate.
