    Dehorning questions

    I’ve never worried about the bleeding and have never lost one to it.

    First branding done

    That’s right along the lines I was thinking of

    First branding done

    Probably 200 feet. Or I could use a generator and a longish cord to allow the generator to stay far enough back as to be substantially quieter than the propane.

    Ivermectin wormer pour on

    Well, it works well for ticks and lice October to May lol. After that they are on their own so I can’t say. But based on how they seem to use it I don’t see why it wouldn’t.

    Ivermectin wormer pour on

    I mix Pounce (permethrin) with diesel in one of these to keep the lice, ticks etc. at bay for the part of the year the cows are at home. Once out on the range they use the fly swatter they were born with. But we don’t get flies up here like folks down south do.

    First branding done

    I branded my yearlings the other day (fresh brands in that video I posted) and was thinking about electric irons. But I’d be exchanging the roar of propane for the roar of a generator. I guess with a good long cord that could be mitigated.

    First branding done

    Will one electric iron keep up to that pace or do you keep two on the go?

    Good morning!

    Nice! I’m jealous. We got enough moisture yesterday to hold the just down for a few hours

    Cattle vaccines

    I use the Nasalgen 3 PMH on newborns. Easy to give, vet usually gives me a bag of 100 cannulas to go with my order.

    ATV

    Yes, I have about 12,000 km’s on my UForce 1000. I have put zero dollars into it other than oil changes to this point. I do not treat it nicely either. My neighbours have Polaris Rangers and they have not stood up as well as mine has. I do know the clutch in mine is Canadian made (brand name...

    The Replacements 2024

    I’m reasonably happy with how they came through the winter. It’s very dry here so I’ll keep feeding them for another 10 days + before turning them out. They will get to see the bulls about May 26 give or take. There are two cows each packing a set of twins in this group. The heifer breeding...

    Excavator. Kinda handy., I can keep moving the bag so as not to have it over the person holding the tube. I used to have two compartments on my drill fill but I took the fertilizer half off several years ago and sold it to a neighbour because I thought if I ever wanted to fertilize I would...

    Live stock weight estimation app

    If it was accurate it might be handy for dosing medications in the field. And I’d bet there would be a fair bit of interest from lots of people for various reasons. I wouldn’t have need of it myself but would bet there is a market. Not sure about the subscription idea though. Seems like most...

    Post a random thought

    After many years of use I put my Bunn away a few months ago in favour of a drip machine. I like waking up listening to and smelling brewing coffee. The Bunn is fast, but not as fast as just getting out of bed to already made fresh hot coffee!

    Did you do that?

    What have you done lately that made you question your intelligence?

    Several years ago I’d had enough of listening to the seatbelt alarm in my truck while driving the backroads at work. So I dug out my owner’s manual and got to work. One step in the procedure was to “latch and unlatch the seatbelt 5 times at a moderate speed”. So naturally assumed a moderate...
