I wonder if Hawaiians know anything about feral chickens? They sure sell lots of BBQ chicken on roadside stands

I have been gone for a while but I see things don't change! Lol. M-5 keep that Duck shirt clean!

What's really nice is there is no hauling, well only with coolers to pick up the steaks. For the steer all is normal, letting grain and hay in the morning, little grazing in the paddock until forehead meets .22 hornet.

Last time I used that type of operation it was a $45 farm kill and slaughter fee and a .45 cent per pound (hanging weight) cut and wrap fee.

I have had several steers done just like that, yes he had Washington plates, they are all over Oregon and Washington, probably more areas as well. The truck is simply a mobile slaughter truck, it I said refrigerated and simply haul the quarters back to the facility where the quarters are hung...

Very decent/nice bull! Lots better than a bunch have posted here. Good muscle and well balanced..... nice bull you have a borrowed/ wondering bull.

I'm just like you fence, the only checks I write are for payroll, maybe one here or there a couple of times a year. No online banking, but verify my balance daily via phone, I keep track of checks not cleared. Everything is paid via credit card that gives points and card balance paid off...

Simple answer, yes..... I balance every month but look and check the balance with my records 4 or 5 times a week...... cash control...... sorry sore spot with me and my kids....... how much money is in your account son? Answer they give me is around to nearest $100 the think it is.

I'm with the group satiating their cattle act different when I have to walk around them at night with a flashlight. I have very docile cattle and they know me very well, a simple call to them gets them pretty much where I want them during daylight hours. In the dark they are a bit more flighty...

X2 to everything, condition of cow is important. I'll add to watch your calving season window, if you want her to calve in June say, three months after calving is the limit since she carries for about 9months. 8 weeks after calving should be fine with good condition.

:lol: i haven't even started the 12 steps to sanity without cattle.

Hello, I'm Alan, but you can't see this because you have me blocked..... right?

I have read only a few post so foregive me if this has been mentioned. With the calf, as mentioned, you are dealing with so many unknowns and variables plus the cost of raising him to breeding size. If your willing to throw the dice on what kind of calves he'll throw, size, quality, calving...

I would also use a fel, I had a similar tractor and would yes your would handle it. Are your rear tires filled with weight? If not you may want to put a heavy implement on the rear.

As stated mow for weed control, I assume everyone is talking about mowing with a brush hog. As far as Canadian thistle, that's a tough one to get rid of, it spreads by both a root system and seeds, unlike the bull thistle which only spread by seeds. A good broad leaf weed killer, like curtail...

If it was me in your position I would call the manufacturer, I believe Zoetis, and talk to their vets. They will be happy to help, also give them all the details, using a dart with a half inch needle, placement of darts etc. if you plan on putting the steer in the freezer ask them about IM...

That was my thought also, it's done and over for now but I would be concerned about how much of the drug got in the system. Just my thoughts, the steer is treated.

You have already gotten both suggestions I was going to give you. While I have had a working pen with a squeeze chute for many years now when I was first starting out I have used a rope and tree to med cattle. I have also used a panel in a stall in the barn, penned the cow on the wall and...

Okay, I'll say it, that really sounds like a bad idea, lots of better ways to restrain it without working facilities. But we need some basics, such as how old is,the calf and how much does it weigh? You're sitting yourself up for a wreck, the wrong dose and too much work if you plan on a horse...
