at a feed meeting last night, everyone had to stand up and tell a few "little known" facts about themselves. it was actually quite fun. I will start it. I could eat baked potatoes every day I own 28 white t-shirts (the wife counted them saturday) if my clothes come out of the dryer inside...

I am looking at a catalog for a sale that is coming up in a couple weeks. I noticed there was no SC EPD for any of the cows or bulls. I punched a couple into Angus.org and most of them have a negative EPD. Even as far as a -.57. I thought "the bigger, the better"? can someone help me...

I have a heifer that calved a #72 calf, on her own, on may 1st. she cleaned with in a few hours after that. this am she had quite a bit of dark bloody, slimy discharge smeared on her rear. Is this normal this long after calving?
