We will be bringing in and weaning a bunch the end of the month. Cows due in late Sept... but as soon as we get done with this first cutting hay we will have the time to get them in and done. Probably going to ship all the steers after weaning... usually in Aug there is a lull in cattle being...

Worm it... sometimes they don't shed well if wormy. Cheap to do... we have one that is like that and she is going to get wormed this week...

A LOT of the drying time will be determined by the weather... we have had PERFECT drying weather for making hay. Last week we cut one day and I raked on the morning of day 3 and it was about dry... got baled late that afternoon... Yes, it was with a discbine with conditioner... BUT... no...

My 2 cents... First off.... Welcome to the CT forum. Most people on here are in it to make a living at it or to supplement their income and use the cattle for ag exemption and to eat the grass/pastures. No one was trying to make you feel unwanted... you just said that you had been at it for...

If you are thinking milking her to sell milk, then I would definitely NOT do it. There are way too many legalities on raw milk... many states require liscensing, too much liability. Add to it the latest issue with this bird flu that has been found in cattle, and a couple humans have caught it...

Hi and welcome to CT.... You are not a dope for asking... Herefords can be milked like any dairy cow... Their DISPOSITION will be part of the determining factor... I have had friends that often milked a 1/2 hereford 1/2 holstein because that is what they had and did fine. Production will...

Can't wait to get the first ones here this year... I love yellow squash...

Corn tasseling already, highest corn I see here is about 18 inches tall in the fields...many are way ahead of me because I had a huge brush pile in the garden to burn.... but it is plowed and started planting... tomatoes and peppers in, started with some other stuff. Hope to get the rest in, in...

Well , well, another country heard from... BEAUTIFUL peaches.... Ours are not any where that close yet... Blueberries on some plants I bought are getting ripe now... but they could be early since they are potted and I don't know how much further along they are, than if they were in ground...

Let the grass grow and take a vacation... Make some hay and take another vacation... buy back next year when there is a drought and you have hay to feed out... IDK sounds like an idea....

Halfway down on left side of list.

:LOL::LOL::LOL::eek::eek::eek: I imagine they had a laugh thinking you were pregnant.... You had dos vaca's, tres with the cria hembra.... Now you have cinco.... One of the guys on a dairy tried teaching me some spanish terms years ago... a little has stuck with me, counting to 10 goes back...

Don't know of any reg jersey heifers available.... $4-500 would be for non-registered if you can find them. With baby calf prices in the $500 to 1,000 it's anybody's guess. There are just not that many around. Most keep their heifers as replacements and just don't sell them. Now that they...

A gallon of whole milk, by the standards set for actual sale of whole milk... is 8.6 lbs. 2% Low fat milk is rated at 8.4 lbs. 1% fat milk is 8.35%... since the standard for whole milk is 3.25% butterfat now... used to be 3.5%.... you would add some extra for each % of fat... but as the fat...

I don't see anything in that black bull I want. I also like your hereford much better.

Things look real good. Calves are looking like they are happy as can be... bet the cows are glad to be out. How many did you wind up with?? Bulls/males and females? Many are talking about the difference in number of bulls this year compared to heifer calves. We are running about 60/40 bulls...

The decal has the phone number... call them....

The vet told us about the concentration of the prussic acid in the leaves and it is something that is more concentrated when the leaves are "damaged"... Cows can and will eat them direct off a branch and have little affect from them if they have had plenty of grass and are not starving... but...

Just to be clear... I do NOT give LA 200 or 300 in the eye... it burns when given SQ or IM... cannot imagine what it would do to the eye... and yes, the dosage is 3 ml/100 lbs for treatment....we use it SQ, one shot usually always does the job. We have found that Draxxin with the dart gun at...

I also give a shot of Vit. A when they are in being worked. I am a big believer in vitamins and as much "nutritional support/cure" as possible. We do use the dart gun with Draxxin for pastures where there are not any permanent catch facilities.... Some years it just seems like there are more...
