many of you might think this is a dumb question...but i always figure there are no dumb questions only dumb people (like me :) ) so here goes... i've always mowed hay with a disc mower but am thinking about getting a mower conditioner - leaves the windrow after you mow it. do you have to rake...

a buddy of mine had a heifer that had a breech calf last year and he tells me that it turned a normal cow into a pretty wild one. you basically can't get her in a working chute and she heads for the hills if you show up in the pasture (again he says she wasn't that way before). my attitude...

I've had a tough year this year with pinkeye. Someone who I consider one of the two or three best cattlemen in the world (in MY world that is :) ) told me that Aureomycin helps incredibly in preventing pinkeye - he runs 600 Herefords, has had only 5 cases so far this year, and one of them was...

Going to finally get rid of the old steel (sherman tank) of a stock trailer and I'm going to get a 7x24 GN aluminum one. I've been pricing and just curious if anyone has any advice on the three brands of trailers I'm looking at. What I'm seeing is that Sooner is most expensive ($2,400 more)...

Just was curious what everyone's opinion is of how much of a horses temperment is inherited and how much is environment and/or just random. I'm never quite certain what I really think, I think that all in all, I don't figure a horse will be gentle just because it's parents were, but on the other...

Anyone heard of this or had it happen? Cledioseptum - not sure if that's right, it's something like that? - is what I was told it is. A friend of our family has had 6 calves die from this. He bought some bred cows at auction this winter and I guess they had this virus. He's in a panic...

A man was on his death bed and his wife came to him to make clear her conscience before her husband left this earth. "Darling" she said, "I have a confession, I haven't always been faithful. But before you become too upset, I want to explain things" He reached out and held her hand and told...

This is a new one on me, maybe someone can help me out... Inside my 3 y.o. geldings ear, there is a lump of some sort. When you first look at it, it almost looks like the top of a broken off corn cob, but when you feel it, it's fairly soft, but not mushy, it's white-ish/pink-ish. It's not...

Here's a topic I have posted on another forum that's primarily "horse-y", thought I'd give a forum that's more "cow-ey" a shot at this question, see if the attitudes are different, I'm guessing they might be. My wife and I are having this discussion over what's the best circumstance to start...

Maybe some of you have heard of this, I never have. A guy in our neck of the woods had 2 cows drop dead on Tuesday, another 1 on Wednesday. He said they really didn't show any symptoms of being sick at all (however I will say he doesn't pay as much attention as I'd recommend - but anyways...)...

ok, due to circumstances beyond my control, i'm going to be forced to put up some electric fence for awhile, i'm not too worried about it, because i've only got to hold a few old cows on some really good corn stalks and i'll supplement their grazing with hay, etc. but, this is the first time in...

What is your preferred method of Castration? Curious as to how most everybody is doing it these days!
