    Miserable weekend coming up

    Got one like that also. Bit down on it about 2 weeks ago like normal chewing something, and almost died from the pain. Had to wait for Monday... it is a root dying and an abscess under the tooth... it has a crown on it from years ago. On antibiotics because it is a MAJOR disaster if an...

    Calving 2024

    We cut some last week for first time... cutting hay today... son will probably will lay down 20-40 acres today. Clear, mostly sun. light breeze and no humidity... perfect to dry. 25 % chance of pop up shower tomorrow for about 2 hours mid day... taking the chance since they have been spotty...

    That is another reason why we use killed virus vacc on anything that comes here now... it stimulates the immune system much "less intensely" it seems... but that is just us and it seems to work that way better in our situation. We also have found that we don't do anything else to them for a...

    Heading towards 48 hrs.

    We got some of it but not near as bad. Lost power in the morning for about 3 hours on Sunday. Came on and then got a horrendous wind around 7... trees bent over nearly to the ground for about half an hour. Lost power for a few minutes but just down the road neighbor had tree come down across...

    Sinkhole

    I read most of that story but could not finish it... I am like you... scares me to death to think of getting trapped in something like that... and we have our share of sinkholes around here too... usually drop 2-4 ft and have practically busted some front tractor axles on them... makes me...

    Craigslist cattle

    All depends on your level of experience and patience.... and the first thing I would do is some vaccinations and worming, and keep her separate from the other cattle for awhile. At least a longhorn x calf should slide out with no problems. If she is open or a b#@%h, she will bring about that...

    Check out this AI video. crazy

    SO, quit using the cell phones so they have one less way to keep tabs on you. The sad thing is, the younger "more hip and educated" generations, think nothing of this and have stopped using their brains for more than what buttons to push.

    ATV

    I fully understand your point Dave. I was just trying to maybe find another way that @CowboyRam could know about things like the time change, since his dad did not get the phone call and does not seem able to get messages off the voice mail. That led me to think maybe he was getting the...

    Cull hard

    Dairy beef crosses have a few positives that are already well known.... They do not go through as much of a "frame growth" as straight dairy (holsteins) and then take alot of feed to fill out to a "finished animal."... The beef in them will put a little more meat on them as they are growing...

    This is Crazy over $10/pound!

    Holstein bull calves here are bringing $5/lb and more, for the ones that are 85 lbs and bigger... about 2 months ago, I sold a 120 lb holstein bull calf I got off a dairy, their hutches were full, and they are 2 hours from the stockyard and won't go that far for 1 or 2 calves, which I...

    Does the Dr's office do texts for reminders? I am not a big fan of all the fancy technology BUT... getting text reminders of things would be great if they could put your phone number in to send them to... or even have them call you also?

    A2A2 is not a scam. The milk is supposed to be more digestible... not lactose based but it has to do with the beta caesin protein. I know people that have switched to the A2A2 milk and NOT had the stomach aches or such that they had with "regular milk" that is A1 type. The A2 types are the...

    If you can get some bull calves, for something more reasonable than the going prices right now, raise them up to 400 lbs, wean them, sell them . If the dairy has twin bulls or twins that are mixed bull/heifer... you might be able to get them more reasonable...they are bringing in the 150-250...

    Be careful with those guns.....

    Agree with the "Darwin will weed them out". Not much sympathy... there are consequences for actions... we coddle too many with "mental problems"...the ones that won't "grow up" and want to be taken care of.... no one seems to take responsibility for their actions... this solved that problem for...

    Milk Replacer with Soy Protein

    Not biased due to being dairy farmers.... the soy is not as well digested as straight milk... or all milk, milk replacer... too many studies done by too many people and too many outside comparisons done.... And I agree with the smell, the lack of absorption of the soy does cause smellier...
