I have not been active recently due to Covid and I am glad to see not much has changed with y'all. Covid has been giving me a royal kick in the behind and it sure has caught me in a rough spot this year. As it has with everyone I am sure. Since driving out here I have been more on my own due...

It's been awhile since I've been on. Lots of updates but right now we are just trying to settle into Southeast Wyoming. My boyfriend and I ended up getting an apartment and have been trying to navigate school online. We've been awful lonely. It just hit me that hunting season started and we...

Alright so I sent my cow to a breeder to catch her in heat and breed her with some decent semen that I had bought. She was with him for 4 months. This is a completely AI herd that's shared with the man's cousin. She was confirmed bred in the fall. And at some point while she was there the last...

I know a few were asking for a update from my birthday post about how life has been going. I have not been as active here as I would like to be however now that the summer is over I will be hoping to talk to more people here. I have decided on the University of Wyoming for college and will...

Pretty self explanatory. What's your favorite?

I had a heifer calf born exactly last month 9/11 with some issues with her back leg. It took her a while to stand and she seemed to be just a lot less active than the other calves. She always has been. Recently I've been noticing that the leg issue is not just confined to the leg but it looks...

I have decided that I would like to pursue Agriculture Education as my college major. Which is what I really want to do. It's what I'm good at, I love agriculture and teaching people about it. I am really happy that I figured it out. I really like the looks of University of Georgia in Athens...

Just spent the last week in the hospital over a stomach blockage. This isn't a surprise, I was born with Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia and at 6 had a rotation of the intestine so I knew it was coming. It was a bit nice to spend some time away from the farm and just sleep :lol: . The medical...

I've been thinking about the question for myself a lot recently. With considering college or not and how I'm going to manage making it so my life never sees a day without cows. Unfortunately it seems as though the only financially reasonable options to get a farm are to either mary into cattle...

Last night my neighbors barn was broken into by a bear and her cubs and he lost two of his daughters show calves. This is the third time a bear has broken into a barn and killed livestock this week. I've been looking into purchasing a barn dog or two for myself but am having a hard time...

I'm not so sure about the weather reports but this isn't looking to good for New England. Stay safe folks. http://www.foxnews.com/us/2018/01/03/br ... orida.html

Does anyone have any big plans for 2018 or any resolutions that they would like to accomplish? Anything you would like to see happen in 2018. For me it would be to receive my first calf from my favorite heifer and to be a better friend to myself. Also waiting to welcome my niece into the world...

My niece and nephew come to my farm once a week. My nephew owns one of our goats so he has to come and work off her board. My nephew who is older minds what I say well, although my niece does not. There are many times when I ask her not to run or just simply not to do something and she will...

Every year my father and I go on a trip during my spring break. I would really like to take him hog hunting for my senior year. What is the best state to do that? I've never been hog hunting so I suppose I need a guide. I am not familiar with it at all but he wants to. Are there any recommended...

I have a first time heifer who has been confirmed bred two months ago. She had a very large amount of bloody discharge this weekend and I'm told it is from a fetal absorption. Now I have questions. What is a fetal absorption exactly? What causes it? Will it happen again? What can I do to prevent...

http://www.agweek.com/life/family/4294160-be-aware-indicators-farmer-suicide I know we are a family here and I really hope that anyone here would reach out to anyone in this group or anywhere if they happened to be having even the slightest of thoughts.

I'll start from the beginning. I live in New Hampshire, and my uncle (who married into the family) owned a buffalo farm in New Hampshire. He no longer owns the buffalo but he still owns the house and land. It is a 3,000 sq ft. 5 bedroom brick house with an attached apartment. The property is now...

I've had this horse for years and he has always been extremely flighty. He has never been good at loading and to the point he gets extremely dangerous to himself and everything around him. I have a trainer but our schedules never seem to line up. I have loaded him a couple times and it usually...

Last year around this time my sister started a page for our small farm. I am not much of an internet person but it was quite worth it. The amount of connections our farm has made with people has increased our sales of animals tremendously. I connected with a local restaurant and they offered to...

I was offered the opportunity to co-own the beginning of what we are hoping to turn into a larger scale beef operation. I have been looking at the pros and cons of different breeds and am looking for opinions. I am located in a region where in the winter it can reach -20f to 80+ degrees in...
