[QUOTE="Bez>, post: 358353, member: 6007"] Caustic - Yeah - Murphy lives real close to our place. Somtimes I wish he would just up and move - but no matter how hard I try I cannot seem to drive him away permanently. For others - the above is simply an example of what can be found if you truly do a search of past postings. I am not a god and I am not the only one who has done this. But I am a person who has lots and lots of posts like this if you go looking. I am an old, grey haired, fat and balding, cynical, harsh and not always correct person - nothing more and nothing less. I have been rich and I have been bankrupt. I have run as many as 400 plus head of mommas and I have had as few as none. I have made more mistakes than probably any 20 people on this board combined. I have worked animals with horses and machinery and this family has had some good times showing and I might add - winning - but I stay away from that area of the boards a lot - too many egoes and arrogance and not enough humility and helping - cattle folks can be bad - no offense folks but you horse people can be the worst. SOme good, but I am too old to search it out any more. There are many on this board who know far - far - more than me. That is why God gave us one mouth, two eyes and two ears. Speak less and look and listen more. I often need to remember my own advice! There are at least three or four others who have done the same on this board. Search, search and search. There is a ton of info here. I am actually considering mining the database for personal reasons. Some times it is better to ask what the ideal search words would be than it is to ask the specific question. I have yet to see many original questions! Mostly all repeats on about a 3-5 month rotational basis. Each season brings more of the same - spring for calving, summer for rain on hay or breeding issues, fall for feeding and winter for wasting hay. Year round for whole or cracked corn, mechanical stuff, epd's (what are they again?) and sometimes fencing - depending on where everyone lives. Then there is the person who always waits far to long - then asks for veterinarian advice when in fact the veterinarian should have been out to the farm already. While it is fun to diagnose - there are very few here who are truly qualified. So - FORM A RELATIONSHIP with your local veterinarian. If you do not like him or her - FIND ANOTHER- ASAP! Do it today - do not wait until you need one - then it is too late. Spend some money and have that veterinarian out to the farm in the spring and / or in the fall for a herd health check - that is one expense many disagree with - but all you have to do is read this board to understand how many would actually benefit from this. We do it. Sooner or later you WILL need that person!! What each question shows, is that there are many people who enjoy the game but they do not know much about it - and they do have to learn. It also shows - despite some "straight to the point advice" that often offends delicate constitutions of some folks - there are many out there who have the smarts to pass solid information on the the newbie. Enjoy your cattle and do not worry "if it is a day over due, or if it is raining, or the cow looks lonely, etc, etc. God and Mother Nature have a way of looking after things far better than we can. Have a good one, Bez> [/QUOTE]
