Sometimes they get backed up, but that does seem excessive. Where we take ours is generally hung for around 14 days then allowed time to freeze after packaging. There are times where family emergencies or staffing issues could affect timing with small family owned processors. We were told by...

From what I have been able to find out There are pockets of them in south central KY around Dale Hollow and the Big South Fork areas. I believe I’ve read something about Lewis county in north eastern Ky. One of the articles said they were in 1/3 of KY counties which would be 40 counties. I...

We’ve had several over the years to get bred too early, mostly purchased heifers that would be bred unbeknownst to us when buying, and a few home raised ones that were bred early before weaning. Most of those heifers turned out ok as they were likely pretty much lighter BW Angus bulls that bred...

Both, they were bigger and I’m hoping this heifer calves easy and unassisted. The frustrating thing is we weaned our heifers young and this particular one real young at 5 months so she could be weaned with the other heifers 2-3 months older and not have to be weaned by herself. I noticed her a...

Looks like we got a young heifer bred. My guesstimate coincides with when the neighbor’s bull from 2 properties over came to visit for the second time last year. Had two calves by him from the first time out of cows. He must have got in the field of heifers and got into our cow field without us...

We used to use cattle rubs (oilers as we called them) hung across gateways and soaked with a mix of diesel and insecticide of some sort. That was years ago, I’ve considered doing that again but would have to use two to go across the gate openings and I don’t really like having to unhook them to...

Depends on the recommendations for the specific tags. Most recommend one in both ears, but the Python Magnum tags that we used just calls for one.

I used the Ivermectin pour on when we worked our calves and fly tagged the cows earlier this week. You'll get a lot of varying answers on the generic Ivermectin and pour on wormers in general. I use it, and vaccinate at the same time. As far as I know the issue with doing other things at time...

The powers that be in KY on this have two different views on hogs and coyotes. In KY we can hunt coyotes anytime if day year round with little if any restrictions. Then they say no shooting hogs. I never saw a coyote or even heard about them, until the 90’s here, but they were very likely around...

That’s what I wondering if they will have one in every county or range of 2 or three counties like the USDA NRCS offices here. Could make for a new government paid position for several people

In this article from UK it states that shooting a lone pig is ok but if there’s more than one then trapping is advised. I would think that since the population of pigs in KY is likely fairly small that in several instances there may be lone animals spreading out and for landowners not to be able...

We don’t have any wild hogs right in this area, but apparently there are pockets of them south, east and west of here. Not sure how they are going to enforce a hunting ban on them. They will have to be really on a timely schedule to trap or whatever they do to eradicate the hogs or they will...

Worked calves today. Could not get Covexin 8 or Cavalry 9, I already had a couple bottles of Tetanus Antitoxin so when it’s gone it’ll be 2 rounds of BarVac CDT I believe it’s called. We used a Blackleg vaccine called 20/20 Vision 7 with Spur. It has a pinkeye vaccine in it. We also used...

That very same thing could have been what happened here too. Had an old metal building in the field where they were and the door had some kind of foam in between the material in the outsides of the door, and over time that front panel came off exposing the foam which I’m sure they ate some of...

This calf has been 5 months since he's shown any signs of bloating. When it was happening it was anywhere from 3 or 4 days to a week inbetween times and and after a month or so it hasn't happened any more. He's gone on to be the biggest of the fall calves. I'm hoping that if he doesn't bloat...

Calf was born in September, and bloated up at around 2 months old. We treated him and he went back down, but for a few weeks afterwards he would bloat back up about every week or so. He finally got over it seems like, and hasn’t done it any more. He’s going to be weaned pretty soon, hoping he...
