    Bull pics from the weekend

    4P frontal and side view 54P 57S Bulls are all AN, and pretty well forage based. The place we bought from feeds grain, but they have never had anything but grass, hay and some swath grazing since they got to our place (as yearlings). We processed cows on the weekend, so I will try to post...

    Calf Cradle Headgate

    I had a couple of questions about this from someone, so I thought the pics I took today might be worth posting. This is our self catch headgate retrofit on our calf cradle. It has spring loaded pins in the uprights on the headgate, and it means 1 person can process calves if they have to...

    Pumping water...

    We pump water for cows in lots of places. Just wondering what others are using and how they like their system. We have been too cheap to buy a "system" but have built a variety of things using bilge pumps, panels from ebay, sprayer pumps, etc. We also have one setup where we use a gas pump and...

    Leucaena

    Here are some photos I took in Queensland, AUS on a tour of Leucaena production. The Leucana is a tree that they plant in rows and graze cattle on. The tree fixes nitogen, provides high levels of protein, and they figure it should remain in the stand around 100 years. It originally came from...

    Vetomectin Day...

    We vetomaxed our backgrounders today. Withdrawal done April 8th. We were too fast to get pictures of the actual operation, and I am still figuring out some camera settings on my new Pentax so they may be a bit dark. Here are the calves 5 minutes after we were done. The Crew The facilities...

    No grass...

    Since my first experiment with pics has led some to believe there is no grass and no summer in AB i have posted a few from May 08 - before the grass gets rolling. This is a piece of tame that was seeded in 1988 and has never been fertilized. The first pic is in the Genex calendar. I doubt dad...

    Just figuring out pictures...

    Cows coming home off grass in December 20, 2007. Heifers came home January 6, 2008. A 1992 model (the cow, not the cowboy) We feed test our grass and it is fine for cow's until the snow gets too deep. Then they burn up too much energy getting to the grass. I will post this winter after I...
