Jip loves to grab a clump of cow manure and eat it. Don’t know why, cause a lot of times it comes back up later. Yesterday morning doing her usual job she got an unsolicited mouthful of mud from a well placed cow hoof.

Saw the posts and pictures about Jersey cows on the bull thread so thought I'd share this over here. Here is another picture of Maybell, with her Jersey dished face and big dark eyes. The heifer is her last years calf said to be an AI calf. She's soon to be put with a bull.

This calf is by our 3/4 Angus 1/4 Hereford bull and the mother is a purebred Hereford.

This my oldest cow, she was bought as a 500 lb heifer in a group of heifers at a Hereford influence sale, atleast 12 years ago. She has been a consistent breeder and one of the first every year to calve until last year she lost a little time and calves in March or April. Then did not get bred...

Wife and and I were given a gift card to a fancy restaurant, by some very generous guests at our BnB. We made reservations for today. Wife got an appetizer, salad, cheeseburger, baked potato and dessert. I got an 8oz filet mignon, with salad and baked potato. It was advertised as prime beef...

Here’s our new bull. 14 month old registered Hereford. It’s a real windy day here so feed troughs are everywhere and upside down he didn’t do that. He is docile and from a longtime Hereford breeder.

Been looking at some bulls lately. Settled on one. I’m sure they been picked over pretty much everywhere and places I’ve visited had 3-4 left. All looked pretty good to me, from programs that don’t push their bulls too hard but just good growing conditions. Came down to the final pick between...

Saw this article and it mentions something like make sure your cattle and horses aren’t rampaging through fences. Not sure how to prevent that, animals have been getting spooked for ever by various things, not sure how the eclipse would cause that, I could see chickens going to roost...

We are wanting to get a new pup probably some time this year. We have a coming 8 year old female Blue Heeler. Both my wife and I are leaning towards another Heeler. We’ve had different ideas though on and off. At one point wife talked about a golden retriever so she could have a dog that might...

Been posting about some problem heifers, so thought I’d balance it out, Here’s a purebred Hereford cow with her 5th calf. Calf was born early yesterday. The calf is somewhat linebred, the sire of the cow is the maternal grandsire of the bull the calf is by.

Yesterday evening a heifer was close to calving and decided to claim a another calf about 4 days old. Didn’t realize at the time that had happened so when went back to check her in a little later, found her with the older calf and afterbirth coming out. Drove around the field in the SxS and...

Over the years lack of milk has not been much of an issue for me. Seems like lately it’s a recurring theme that happens way too much. I believe I have tracked the culprit to something in the genetic background of a particular Hereford bull I raised several years ago. Some of his daughters...

Well we like share when things go good but it doesn’t always happen that way. First heifer of the year calved early this morning. Twins, one dead, buzzards had gotten to it and pecked it’s eyes. The second calf was alive but in closer inspection the front legs were deformed. One leg was curved...

Been looking around some for a baby calf or two to put on Maybell. Haven’t been to stockyards yet, but I understand they are selling for $500-700. I’ve inquired about a couple on a KY cattle Facebook group. A two month old guernsey bull calf priced at $600 and a Brahman cross week old bull for...

When do you give Lutalyse to help a cow shed her after birth. It been 48 hours. Been a long time since I’ve dealt with this issue, done how I’ve understood give it at 3 days. Is that right, or should I go ahead?

Maybell had her calf sometime last night. Had a time finding cow and calf this morning in the fog. Drove the tractor around the perimeter looking for her and passed her up close to where I got off to unroll some hay. Now comes the fun or not so fun part, getting the pair to the barn and getting...

Phased out my registered Charolais herd over 25 years ago. At that time I swore I never have another one as I was pretty much broken hearted over the way it ended. Over the years, since I’ve had a very few Char cross feeders and at one time bought a Char cross commercial cow as a one and done...

Found this little one this morning when feeding hay. Our cows aren't officially supposed to start calving until March. Neighbors bull must have come visiting and went back home before we saw him. Later in the year we found him twice. Bull is about the same color of this calf. This cow is one of...

Separated out the bred heifers from the cows this morning. They should start calving in March.
