Is there anyway to stop eminent domain? For example if I gave my farm to the Nature Conservancy or a similar group could it still be taken? Since we bought the place in '42 we have already had a farm to market road run through the place. This cost us 10 acres and cut our farm into two pieces...

Thanks, I will look into that software

Anybody know of an android app for cattle record keeping? The American Angus Association has one but you have to be a member to use it. I would like to be able to work with the database on my android phone as well as my home computer, so synchronization between the two is a must Thanks

Has anyone tried to make their own foam for use in their spray marker? I know, I am cheap. :-) I can't help it ,it's my heritage..

I tend to have one or two a year with bad back feet. My soil is not sandy so you would think that they would wear off.

Do any of you use tranquilizers and the CapChur gun? I have several cattle that need their hooves trimmed and thought that this might be easier and cheaper than buying a squeeze chute. How safe is it to put a cow under? What percantage will not wake up? Or should I buy a squeeze shoot and try...

If you don't want to pay registration fees sell your registered cattle. As far as your neighbor goes, he either needs to get with the times or get out of the business.
