I really dislike doing that... as a buyer. I just don't have the time or energy to put into a calf without a mother, and I like buying pairs. But the economic realities are that people are willing to pay more for them if they are split.
Yea i had to chase her down today and grab her leg to get her in truck today. It was 22 out but no wind so cows were out grazing.That calf still don't look happy about being in a Chevy.
I'll go 200 on her....
They sold a nice lil bull at enid Thursday for 600 bucks. 2 weeks old. Bottle broke.
Might be best to split em and sell em
I like my Chevrolet. And my Ford too.Yea i had to chase her down today and grab her leg to get her in truck today. It was 22 out but no wind so cows were out grazing.

My thoughts are, If she ain't making enough milk. She probly needs a ride to town and a career change. Most likely won't get any better next year. If it were the right time of year, I'd just put that heifer baby on a nurse cow and ship the mama.
Local marina with PSNS navel shipyard in the background. Part of our 2 mile walk in the evening, trying to reduce my fatness.Been a while since I was there. Before Dad passed away he lived in Hansville so I drove by there often. I remember being on the Missouri when she was docked there.
You're doing too much hero duty. Don't tell my husband or he'll expect the rinsing.Yeah, well, I handed a can of Dinty Moore to Mr. TC and told him to have at it. But I did rinse his dish and put it in the dishwasher.
Beautiful barn. But can you get a tractor, or even a decent sized skid loader into it?
Looks like that might be hard to do. Guess ol Charlie didn't think that through very well. Haha
Not going to lie, I had to Google Charlie Goodnight. An excellent read - thank you.
There's a guy up the road from me that keeps a short haired dog on a chain 24/7/365. He has a metal box with blankets, completely open on one side and a lip on the box so if any moisture blows in it accumulates in the blankets. I delivered a nice doghouse full of corn husk bedding and the guy set it up so the door was slanted up and any rain would be more likely to come in. I don't get people that own dogs and keep them constantly chained.
The barn is about a hour from where I live. Kind of a neat bit of history and I'm glad they restored it. We drive past it every time we go to Pueblo. I'd never noticed the cupola with bird houses before. Thanks for bringing that to my attention, that is really cool. I had to google purple martins, not sure if we have them around here of not.
