They look really good.... Not much green up there yet....

Or get some of the "guard rail" metal that the highway dept uses... they sometimes have "used" stuff that gets taken down in places... the sad things about trees is sometimes someone hits them hard enough to damage/break them.... guard rail and concrete in that section would be a much more...

Bear out of hibernation early? Scared him, jumped the fence??? We had a heifer that went missing and turned up 7-8 months later running the power lines... people on horseback would see her... wild like a deer..... finally wound up at neighbors with their bulls in the bull field... got her back...

Well, I will have to differ some... we had some cows with small fall calves that all of a sudden looked terribleand they were getting corn silage a couple times a week in the silage wagon ...got them in the headlocks in the silage wagon and I took an AI sleeve on 6 and got manure samples from...

Couple questions... what breed/kind of heifers and what are they bred to ??? Is there a reason you are concerned about them having their calves? How old are they? Sometimes very young heifers just don't get it as well as some that are a little older (24-30 months) and more mature... The best...

Sorry about your mom, but love the story about the bulbs... It will be a great remembrance next year when they bloom. Hopefully, they will grow enough to "feed" the bulbs this year and be able to come back nicely next year. I got a couple of those "tacky" lighted walkway type lights, on the...

As with everyone else... first off thank you for your service to our country and all of us... Congrats for the retirement. Good to start with some animals that were priced to where you could get into them reasonably. That is where you will make money... starting out right. You are being very...

Nope, I was the real straight arrow in school... grades were a priority......and I worked after school to support my horse/riding habit... AND I was a 98% country music fan... Jim Reeves being one of my favorites....Eddy Arnold and the older style country singers. That was because my parents...

One of my favorite groups... Tommy James and the Shondells

How are they doing? And did you finally get warmed up?

Used to have 10-12 brood sows and had a guy who would come castrate the boar piglets as they brought more at the feeder sale... He was a staunch advocate of only cutting in the last quarter going into the new moon... going from the thighs into the feet.... says they bled less, were less upset by...

Ours get one dose at banding, if not banded when small. If banding when bigger, we try to always band in the last quarter to new moon, less blood flow...

Glad that they are managing on their own... Probably both lucky and some of his being one of the Dumb Brave "Novice" kind... hope he/the heifers continue to be lucky... for their sake

So if it is not profitable to raise up heifers; then where the he// you gonna get these bred heifers that are supposedly cheaper than keeping your own??? Someone has to raise them..... I never said all bought cows/heifers are inferior... I said I would not buy bred heifers again... I will put my...

Yeah, we got down to 21 last night... only up to 49 and light breeze made it chilly but not unbearable... tonight 30's , then 60+ couple of days and only 50's at night... back down to 30's nights in less than a week. Daffodils coming up already... too early really....but these "prime age" bones...

The 6 month heifers here are not bringing $3.00 a lb... so that is not a true example... they are in the $2.-2.30 range... so at 500 lbs she would be worth... 1200, less the amount of feed ALREADY in her at that point... so not near as big a "value" to sell... even if she is on the cow and...

Since we figure raising costs and it will take around 1750 to raise one up to calving, then I would question whether I could buy anything as good or better, bred, for that... taking into the added consideration that I KNOW what they are bred to, and have a much better chance of being comfortable...

Respiratory infections, pneumonia... need to treat ASAP.... it will kill them quick...No, not worrying too much if they are coughing and having trouble breathing...

Look pretty nice to me....

Over the years we kept heifers and raised our own for the most part. What @Silver said is true, if you have good bulls, the better heifers kept out of the cows, will continue to improve what you have, and they know and fit what you are doing... I do not buy bred heifers... they are often the...
