    In our local paper....HORRIBLE!!!!

    I read this early this am and have had it on my mind all morning and I have a couple conclusions. One is that it is hard to make a deep cut on your first go with a scalpal(which would be the only thing sharp enough to make such a swift cut.) What I mean is how did they get that deep with the...

    backing up

    I start on the ground. Basiclly if you teach your horse how to properly give to pressure you can do anything. Some horses have a hard time moving your weight up(they have to lift their backs to back) so if you start on the ground it is easier. I just stand beside them as if I was in the saddle...

    What do you expect from a colt put in 30 days training

    I don't show much and when I do it's reining or working cow, but as a solid 2 I want them to respond to both direct and indirect rein, move nicely off of my leg with a willingness to learn. I don't want them to still be at the"yeah, but" stage. They should stop when pressure is taken off and I...

    What makes a heifer bull?

    Doc would it be safe to say in some bulls that maybe one or the other just swims faster most of the time??? And that would explain why you can get a bull that throws mostly heifer calves??

    What is it??

    Oh, I can't believe we're thinking about doing this!!!

    Sorry for your loss. You know I wouldn't raise cattle if I couldn't raise what I love, I guess I'm in it for the cows, and this little bunch of comm Herefords raised 5 kids, put them all thru college and is raising 2 families right now. (They might not be able t pay for the nursing home but hey...

    Let Freedom Ring

    If you want an AR you'd better get to getting one, they will be banned soon.

    Let Freedom Ring

    He has the 223 auto rpeat. My husband isn't the avg. He is all out balls to the walls hunter. He stalks prarie dogs with his bow for fun. Saying that the avg. hunter doesn't need an AR is like saying that the avg. man doesn't need a sportscar or a hot wife. Sure you can live without them, but...

    BIG CALF

    Alright so lets hear who is on the protien causes high birth weights side and who is on the side that it doesn't. I just had this debate and was proven wrong, so I want to hear what you all think. I'm on the fence about it. My dad swore that it made his calves monsters, I think it was more the...

    Let Freedom Ring

    I haven't posted on this forum before, but I guess this is the place to vent. My husband owns 2 ARs( they are suppose to be combat rifles) he uses his for coyote and prarie dog hunting. There is a heated debate over them right now and it is just crazy. To the point that no one can have their own...

    How to tell if a mare is pregnant?

    I agree that when at all possible foal your mares out side, However I also totally agree that a new mare should be kept seperate and NEVER allow a gelding in with mares and foals. I did once, he started running the babies, I had to rope him and choke him down to get him out of the pasture. When...

    Horse 'paddles' Left front Excessively

    I would pull his shoes and check if his hoof is flat or if your blacksmith has him unlevel. That will really cause a horse to travel odd esp. if he dubbed the toe too. I guess I'm kindda anal that way, NO ONE TOUCHES MY HORSES HOOVES UNLESS I KNOW THAT THEY ARE GOOD!!!! I have an excellent...

    Herefords

    I sure wanted to go to Bakers sale and the VanNewkirk sales. I like some of Holdens bulls, I was all set to go to their sale last yr, but got shut down. Bull sales to me are like horse sales, it is so hard to remember that I am broke and/or don't need it anyway!!!

    Cactus Brand Saddles??

    So do tell who made it and what are the specs. and if you are feeling brave can we know how much it was. I know that is not a polite question so don't answer if you don't want to. Post some pictures, I love to see what everyone else is ridding and I am gathering info myself for a custom saddle...

    Cactus Brand Saddles??

    I saw a deal on RFD where they were the trophy saddles and the guy said that they were all hand made, hand stamped. Looked like a nice saddle, but if you want a good fit for your horse sad but true(only cuz they are expensive) you need to go to a good saddle maker.

I would aslo put concrete down for my isles, it just cleans better and less dust. Diffinately a little space for a vet cabinet and...

    Horned vs. Polled

    My family has been raising horned Herefords for 80 yrs, and we are awfull proud of them. We dehorn our 2yr. olds calves at birth then dehorn everything but replacement quality bulls when we brand. I would say that out of 30 bulls I can hand feed all but 8 and those where purchased bulls. Now...
