We have 52 momma cows, 6 heifers and 2 bulls , along with several babies right now .Would like to get up to about 100 some day. We just keep a few of our best heifers every year we will get there sooner or later. :D

We use 5 strand barb wire fences never had any trouble. Our weaning pen is 5 ft cattle panels nailed to cross ties every 8 ft, with a treated 2x6 top and bottom, our working pens are 6ft cattle panels welded to pipe post and pipe runners top and bottom. We have never had any trouble with the...

Our vehicle insurence is the cheapest thing we have 1 full coverage and 1 liability and its just under 600 per year. But we have them both insured as farm trucks since we both work on the farm that really helped.

we run Black angus bulls and were weaning at 6 months they average about 500- 600 lbs our cows are 900 to 1100, this year we kept them on till 7 months and are still waiting on the check to see how they did. Sold 21 last week. We'll see if they weighed more, they looked bigger. Our neighbor was...

yes they are thats who we are with and even though it seems high they are the only ones that will even cover chickens houses.

Ours went up this year, insurance on our place right now is $4,400 per year. But we have 3 chicken houses and they are hard to get coverage on. We have several other building too.

We call them bottle babies, but I think eveyone has there own way of raising one and as long as the calf does good for them, thats all that matters. We use bottles, but we have had a occasional calf that would not suck but would drink it from the bucket. Whatever works for one person might not...

We have 3 broiler houses (45,000 hd) and our cows 60 mommas, we both work on the farm. The chicken houses pay for the farm and the cows are what we live off of.

When he was 2 his calves weighed about 80#. The next year a few of the calves were weighing more like 90-95#. It was just enough to make us question him. And its nice to have some background on a bull other than just someone saying this is his mother. :lol: And it could have been just from...

Yes he did fill out he was huge in the rear we never had any calveing trouble but he was starting to throw bigger calves. So we decided to send him down the road, he brought $1,050 when we sold him. We sold him about 3 months after the second picture and he weighed 1850lbs . He was out of a good...

peacemaker this might make you feel better, This is our first bull we gave the neighbor $500 for him, he was about 2 in the first picture, he looked terrible but we had 6 cows and he was all we could afford so we bought him. The bottom picture was him 1 1/2 years later. We got alot of calves out...

It has been over a 100 for about 5 days here and its going to be 104 tomorrow. So far the cows are ok. Our cows drink well water. And they have been drinking alot the last few days. I have been alittle worried about them but they seem to be handleing it . Knock on wood. :lol:

They foundered we have seen it many times even with cows that have been on the same pasture for years. It happens most of the time in the spring when the grass starts to become really lush. You can trim them you have to take some off the tip of the toe, be careful not to take to much, you might...

Well, we are running about 50 head of mommas and 2 bulls on 120 of pasture, and we also cut plenty of hay, but in some places that same 120 acres might only run 10 head. It just depends on the land. And if you plan to cut and bale your own hay I would suggest starting out with just a few and as...

I would love to have anything to help haul squrare bales me and my husband and 14 year old sister just hauled 600 yesterday. Loaded 80 at a time on the trailer and unloaded in the barn. I won't mind square baleing at all if they were easy to haul. We baled 1500 but got lucky enought to sell 900...

We use grass twine, because when we bought this farm the other guy used plastic and we spent months picking it up and still find it. I don't think he ever picked a piece of it up. along with alot lot of other things he never picked up ( old hay rings, barb wire, fence post). So we use the grass...

Yes we tag as as soon as we find them which is always within 24 hours. If you wait to long you can't catch the little things. They learn to jump up and run fast. And always keep one eye one the momma. When they hear that baby ball it can change there attitude towards you real quick.

Our cows only get grain if we are getting them up to work them. We have chicken houses so we have plenty of litter. So our grass and hay are all our cows get along with good mineral. We have a neighbor that feeds his cows everyday. But he doesn't have enough grass to hold them. I don't know how...

Well I don't know about how many lbs per day but I know that our 4 horses can eat a 4x5 round bale in 8 days that is in a hay ring, in the winter when they have no grass. I don't know if that helps any but thats my only advice.
