    Wild Turkey

    In all actuality, I dont do that, just to clear it up. But when you feed Rumensin to cattle, which some folks do, birds will eat it. Certain bird will die when they eat it. Turkeys and ravens are 2 that die. If I was to control turkeys, it would not be by that method. I enjoy shooting too...

    They are like starlings here. Feeding rumensin is totally legal. Many people do it and it just so happens to control a bird problem as well. Nothing wrong with it. Its just that some people would prefer to go about it different ways, same results.

    Alfalfa Supplement

    I think you would be wasting your money. Assuming you have fairly mild winters where you are. If they cows go into the winter in good condition, grass hay will be plenty sufficient. If you would like, maybe 30 days prior to calving you could slip a little to them, to perk them up some. You...

    beefmaster or saler

    I cant believe I joined this place just to address this post. Anyways..... There is NO reason in the world why people would need to run Salers. There is nothing good about them that you wont be able to find in a good Hereford or Angus. Aside from all the stories I have heard, we had 2000...
