[QUOTE="ScottyB, post: 738392, member: 9676"] I am just a small time recreational farmer with 30-50 head depending on what time of year. Well, my year so far is not going well. We have lost three cow/calves this year so far. 1. Lost a long time family cow that died of old age. (tried to sale her for slaughter but my sympathetic wife wouldn't let her go and tried to save her) That was no big deal, kind of expected. Been a good cow, had 12 calves for us. 2. Lost another year old steer to pneumonia. He was given all meds and was doing fine, then took a turn downhill quick and it was too late. 3. Just lost a newborn calf to coyotes. Walked up on 7 coyotes having a buffet. My .270 had something to say to one of them. Been a tough year for us down here near Dallas. It has been an abnormally cold and very wet winter. I hope my luck turns around soon. We need some dry, warm weather or there are going to be a lot of people in trouble. [/QUOTE]
