You will like it I think Mine do better on it than they do on hog feed

Dave I feed Mine a dairy feed from southern states, 20% protien and $15 a hundred. My pigs love it and is much cheaper than hog feed. I plan on pasturing my sows this spring to also cut on costs I also feedsome produce that I can get for free.

10 calves? What? No craig I meant just a couple of calves per cow. The last ones I sold were weaned at 10 weeks with all the calf starter they wanted weighed 232 pounds. They were holstiens.

My suggestion would be get a good jersey cow from a dairy that's maybe down a quarter or not quite making production. With milk replacer $80 a bag you could almost buy the cow then when she dries up you can sell her for probably What you gave for her. Only downside to it is a milk cow eats...

Look to see if the insides were eaten out coyotes always start with the heart, liver, lungs.

I've just weaned 2 holstien bull calves off of a good Jersey cow she did great with them and took them almost immediately. They weighed 232 pounds at 12 or 13 weeks so I thought I did pretty good with them my first time in. My advice for you would be sure you keep the cow fed good as those...

Good info I need to find some old tires

Was thinking of building a permanent hay feeder. Basically a 8 x 12 shed with slats to get their head in I want it wide enough to drive my truck through it. Do any of you have a similar setup that you could post a few pictures and any tips that might help. I do plan on roofing about 8 feet out...

Quick question should I sell weaning age calves say 2-300 pounds (11 to 12 weeks old,im weaning at 10 weeks) or wait til they get up to 4-500 pounds. I planning on selling at 400 but by the time I feed them to 400 I could come out as good selling early. What do y'all think?

As a beginner myself I think you just need to get a few nothing special cows to kinda get your feet wet and see where it goes I actually plan on raising registered stuff later on but til I know what im doing im not gonna get any high dollar stuff yet

What is a type a shot, I will be giving alpha 7 and worming with cydectin. Is cydectin to strong for that young of calf if not what should I use? Thanks

I have some holstiens bull calves im raising on a Jersey cow and I have a couple of questions. What age should I band them, they are just over 3 weeks old and when do I start their shots (a 7way)? I plan on weaning them at 10 weeks and getting another set and starting over. Should I band them or...

Thanks guys I can see having a wild cow in the west where they need to chase off predators but living in VA there not really a problem other than the odd coyote. And where im at its mostly small acreage so I will be in closer contact with them than you folks in the west. And if a cow was to get...

Visited a friends farm yesterday and he has a cow that was plum crazy (high headed y'all know the kind), anyway he said that was his top cow and wouldn't take 5000 bucks for her. I wouldn't have took her if you gave her to me! We got into a discussion about high strung cattle and easy going...
