I think you had the right idea but you have far more people talking like they have been doing this all there life.
First you have to forget all that cowboy crap and fancy equipment, and figure out you are a grass farmer.

I saw one recommending antibotics and the same poster didn't know what a fluke was.
Kinda scary for the newbies.

Been at it 37 years (was born & raised a city gal) and ALWAYS learning something new. Hopefully I never think I know everything there is to know. That would be time to lay down & quit.
So what does this have to do with helping begginers? Should go under the everything else or coffee shop.
Are we passing on Knowledge here or just, stating how long we've been around cattle? Someone can be around cattle for 30 years and not know.......well you know the rest. ;-)
I thought you were referring to the fact that only beginners would be answering his "survey". I just misunderstood. sorry. I understand now you meant this thread should be elsewhere.Hey, I thought this area was reserved for begginers?

A fluke is that instrument you play when you want to lead them to the barn...right?

Nope. I've got three of them. They are definately digital multi-meters. It says "FLUKE" right on the boxes. Don't know how to hook them up to cows though. Where are the lead wires?

I thought a fluke was something that was an odd occurance.
To hook the cows to the meter I guess you do like you do with the immobilizer. One on the lip and one under the tail. Not sure if you use an AC or DC setting to get a reading though.

Do you have the conversion chart for that? It would sure be handy for determining how far a long a cow iswhen you buy her.

I seem to have misplaced the chart. Probably right next to my immobolizer.

Dang. Should I be doing all these hook-ups in series or parallel? My booger pickers aren't long enough to span from the nose to the tail. They are only 18 inch leads or so. Couldn't I just hook-up ear to ear?
