Probably easier to catch a sheep than an antelope anyway :lol: I don't remember what it tasted like, but my dad had shot an antelope one year and I guess I asked for it and called it "cantaloupe." I must have liked it if I was asking for it, right? Is mutton anything like bear? Bear is...

"Some of the horse burger I was served in europe was dry chewy and nasty certianly not a treat. I will take horse over mutton any day of the week." From what I understand, Native Americans preferred mule over anything. I heard it was sweeter than anything (which from the way it was said how...

Totally awesome that they lifted the ban. Always wondered how Americans could be so ethnocentric to think that their culture is always right (and yes, I'm American....but I know not everyone operates the way we do). Really sad how the ban killed the horse market and also killed many horses in...

Ran across this article today and thought I would share: http://www.ethlife.ethz.ch/archive_articles/110501_Besamung_per/index_EN Looks pretty interesting.

I got a bull I'll sell ya. Had 2 yearling bulls out with 50 head of cows. Preg checked 42 of the cows and 100% bred (95% bred within the 1st month of the bulls being put in). The one bull semen tested at 97% at 18 months; Trich negative. Expect this bull to do the same (they are out of the...

Thanks for the interesting thread guys. It seems like a good idea to plant a "garden" and let the calves graze (and then the cows will clean up the rest or it puts nutrients back in the ground). My question is about beets. I know that they feed beet pulp in California as part of a mixture for...

I like the one with the ball in the air for action, although the pictures of roping the pony are just stinkin' cute! I'd definitely buy a calender, too! You have an adorable kid and an awesome dog. Where the heck did you find that pony? Tolerant, looks like. You take some great pictures!

What programs does everyone use to keep track of their cattle? Or do you still do it longhand? We are just purchasing Today's Rancher after seeing a bunch of stuff on Working Ranch's website about it. The only thing that it looks like it might not do for us is have enough fields for separate ID...

MO Cows, that is an ingenious idea! Thank you!

Funny you say that Shep. I was just commenting the other day that the only Hereford calf we have sure is looking good (body-wise, sadly he has a funky [bulging] eye so he's freezer bound). After a much closer look, I commented that our black calves were looking good, too. It seems to be easier...

andybob: Africa? And England. Wow. I've been all over the lower 48 states of the US, but never crossed a border. Have a whole list of places I want to travel to, though! Thought it interesting about you post. Had a vet in Idaho order some semen this year from our bull, Power. She was originally...

Neat pictures! Nice lookin' Hereford baby you got there. Love the pic of not waiting....I have kids like that! (And have pictures of a neighbors foal nursing off a mare that was laying down...). Thank you for sharing. Very interesting. :D Oh, and mushroom hunting is a blast...we used to do it...

I'm new and gonna kick a hornets nest I'm sure, but just can't help myself! :P A heifer bull, to me, is one that is going to throw smaller calves but not calves that are so measly that they can't pick up and grow after they are out of the confinement of the womb. Having been pregnant 3...

Hey now! :lol:

Borderancher, I want to know why no one ever answered your question, or at least expressed an opinion? (BTW, I must say that reading your posts has me really appreciating you class, humor, and tact! If only I were so good...). The idea that more people are being diagnosed with cancer in a...
