OK, I had my heart set on my fiance and I riding off after our wedding (instead of the normal get away "car") Anyway my dress is kind of "form fitted" and I'm not sure that I'm going to be able to get my leg up over the horse without hiking my dress way up (yikes!) So, what are my options...

My calf is doing better and better...except one thing, his eye on one side is very watery. When I first got him (2 wks ago) both his eyes were a little watery. Now it seems like the one has virtually dryed up and the other is watering double-time. I got a bucket of warm water and wash cloth...

We just got a bottle calf...when would be a good time to get him (neutered, castrated, cut...i dont know the differences between all these terms) and what would be the best way to do it? He's probably about a week old right now...so I want to make sure he is stabilized here first, but I don't...

I am thinking about getting one or two pigs to raise and slaughter. I'd probably get a pig that weighed around 30-40 lb to start... how long til butchering weight? What is the ideal butchering weight (approx)? At that weight, approx how many lbs of meat? I raised pigs in 4-h, they had...

Hi guys, We have a black angus cow that we're getting ready to butcher. We've been feeding him cattle feed from the co-op and hay. He is one year old now. I was wondering how much would you charge per pound to sell to co-workers, family, etc. We aren't looking to make a lot of a money, but...

For the past couple of years, loading my SSH mare into a two-horse has been a nightmare. Anytime we go out trail riding I dread loading her up at the end. After working with her for only 20 minutes using this strategy she went right in without force! After that first time, she went in about...

hey guys, i have four horses, and my dad pays for the hay/feed. we used to just have two horses, so the feed bill has gone up (considerably). I'm sure we are giving them more than they truly need and I was wondering where we can cut costs because he wants me to sell two of them. They go...

Hey guys We have a couple of feeder calves (probably about 500 lbs. each right now) I was wondering how much hay you think they should get a day? There's virtually no grazing right now with snow on the ground. I gave them a bale a couple of days a go and it's just now gone. Is one square...

There's a boarding place around here where we went to get hay today. The guy said something about some Mormon's make this feed tub that they feed all their horses and then you don't have to give them their protein or grain. It's 300 lbs and its in a green plastic tub. They lick it to get all...

What kind of hay should I feed my horses? We don't ride them barely at all in the winter...we just need something to keep their nutrition and weight on them. What do you all reccommend? I get lost in all the hay lingo...orchard grass, timothy, alfalfa, etc. Thanks alot guys!

I've noticed that mustangs are cheaper than other types of horses around here. Is there a reason for this? Are they harder to train? Feistier? I've never been around one...we have QH, TWH, Spotted Saddle, Paso Fino. Just wondering what experiences you all had had with mustangs, they seem...

We have been trying to formulate different solutions to our problem (which only seems to be getting worse partly due to nasty weather). About 15 feet out on all sides of the entrance to the horse stall is just mucky mud, they're getting it caked on their hooves/legs daily. They have free...

Do any of you feed Kent Feeds to your horses? What are their prices like? I've settled on liking the 12% sweet feed from TSC (no PELLETS!). Do Kent Feeds sell a similar feed?

What do you guys think? I was thinking about getting a mule in the future at some point, all we do is trail ride. I was surprised to see that there are gaited mules when I was messing around online. What are the pros/cons to mules vs horses.

We have a Paso Fino mix gelding who has been coughing a lot lately. It started probably a week ago and he was coughing about every minute. It's a real dry cough but sounds like it might be deep in the chest. As of yesterday he was still coughing, but about once every 30 min. I was thinking...

Hey guys, Our horses has free access to their stalls all day...we've had a problem though with the entrance to the stall getting mucky. What do you all reccommend putting outside of the stalls? The rest of the ground is fine...it's just the 6 ft radius around the entrance. I didn't know...

How much hay does a horse need per day when no grazing is provided? These horses are not worked hard. How much hay does the average horse need per day if there is no grazing? How about a cow when no grazing?

Hey guys, I recently got a snaffle bit from TSC to try out on our TW gelding who we've been having trouble with. I've never tried this kind with the circle rings on both sides...I'm not sure how to hook it up to the reins/bridle/lower lip strap. I was wondering if you all know of any good...
