Done, looking forward to it.

.....we have made an absolute killing on pipelines. We had 3 already on our property, and 3 more are coming through in the next couple years....they pay a huge sum of money to lay them across your property. We received an absolutely disproportionately huge sum of money for the pipelines. With...

Thanks for all the replies. To clarify a little more...My parents own some of the land, my grandparents owned the rest. I live there, grandparents lived there. I inherited the work when grandad passed 6 yrs ago (fine with me, I like doing it). The cows belong to me (2), parents(5), and...

Have a question for which I would like the opinion of those on this board. My grandmother just passed away few weeks ago. I am in charge of all animals on our place. Some of her children want to sell all the cows now and be done with it. I have my opinion. Here are the details. Small herd...

As a teacher/coach I can tell you that work will take up a lot of your time, especially during your main season (football for me). I am taking care of my grandmother's cattle. We have 17 total, plus two horses. The animals don't care what you have been doing or what you have going on. You...

I'm halfway between Greenville and Sulphur Springs. We ended up with 5 1/2 inches from Friday evening through this morning. Ponds are full and overflowing. Grass is greening up nicely. Had one shower Sunday afternoon that dumped 1 1/2" in just over an hour!!

I know this has been discussed on here before, but I cannot seem to find it when I do a search. Using the old washer on a string pregnancy test to determine the sex of the calf. Which one (swinging back and forth or circling) goes with which sex of the baby? I tried it out yesterday on a...

I was thinking that I had looked at your website with the mini herefords before. If you'll be in Sulphur Springs then you will be going by my little town a lot then. I'm just outside of Cumby. Good to meet you too. Jeff

Yes we are. I am just across the county line into Hopkins. Are you the one with the miniature Herefords? Our cows are a mixed lot...some hereford, limousin, simmental, angus, and even a holstein thrown in way back a few years ago.

SF, do you know if there is a site like this for Hunt or Hopkins county? I am on the edge of Hopkins almost into Hunt and thought it would be nice if each one had their own. Nevermind...I went back and searched and found the one for Hopkins. thanks, Jeff

How about this for timing. Our small herd of 10 cows has produced 5 calves in the past 8 days. 3 today!! We've got babies coming out of our ears right now. That brings us to 7 out of the 10 having calves since Dec. 4. Anyone else with a small herd ever end up with such timing? I know if...

Oh, ok. I thought he just didn't like your town, lol

I am in the same boat, being new on these boards. I really enjoy sitting here and reading the different questions and responses from everyone. Thanks to all. Jeff

As far as vaccinations go, they all got Lepto 5 shots in April, as well as Ivomec pour-on. This is what my grandad had been using and what folks at the co-op recommended as well. 2 of my 3 late cows appear to be pregnant by looking at them. I get to check them at least 4 days a week, so I...

Bez, You're right. There are a lot of variables that could be factoring in. Let me give a few more details. Bull is 4 yr old. out of a former cow in the herd. He is not related by blood to any of the cows. We have 11 cows and the bull. All of them have been raised here, so I know it is...

That's kinda what I was thinking too, but we have 3 other cows who are 7 months, 6 months, and 3 months over 1 year since their last calf. Was beginning to have questions about our bull.

Just had a cow deliver this morning sometime. My question is this...her last calf was born January 18, 2004. That is only 10 1/2 months. How unusual is that. I am sort of new to the cow business. I've been taking care of my grandmother's herd after my grandfather passed away two years ago...
