Way back when when I started my first job at the Co-op, this stuff was on the shelf. My boss at the time explained to me that yes, it would either cure or kill. AND they had a lot of long distance truckers would come in to buy it and soak their toothpicks in it. Cheaper than bennys and arguably...

It's been 25 years. Or was it just yesterday? The sting wont go away.

All good replies! Thanks guys! Before I go, I will share one guys approach on shrink. We all understand shrink, what is normal what is excessive but some of us (me), have to methodically go through the process in our minds each time to understand it. I watched this guy for years and I am...

I have been in connected to cows for a long long, long time in one form or another, either owning them or doing business with those that own them. In all those years, the prevailing coffee shop banter has been how we are all losing our shirts. I don’t believe that. My buddy, who doesn’t own a...

The Homecoming. Always takes me back to the woodshed as a kid and gramma making my breakfast on the woodstove. Thanks Tom.

I have a steel Corn Pro rotting away out in the yard.

I'm losin' it. Read most of the first paragraph of this article about "100 Dead COWS" Cut me some slack, this is a forum with a bovine focus right??

Ya, you might want to rethink that 45 minutes to a hospital.We are 40 minutes. You can bleed out an awful lot in 40 minutes.

Rockers who died at "27": Jimi Hendrix Janis Joplin Brian Jones (original leader of the Rolling Stones Alan “Blind Owl” Wilson (Canned Heat frontman) Jim Morrison Kurt Cobain Good thing she calved on the 26th.

I tried something similar back in Ontario, but I used trefoil. It has a similar seed size / weight to alfalfa so it should work. I think it is key that in the fall you graze the grass right down to the wood. Great if you can see some dirt. Some guys would do a burndown with glyphosate but then I...

Well, since you asked, I suppose it was just this morning. My gut tolerance is usually pretty high but I guess the bar was lowered a bit today. In the calving shed, pitching the cow schmidt out. My big Pyrenees dog always likes to sneak out some placenta and gnaw on that while I tend to mom and...

I'd love to take the credit for both, but, the verse is from the song "The Gift" and the sunset, well thats the Big Guy's doing! All I did was stand there in awe.................

When the Lord called Charlie to his home up yonder, He said, "Kid Russell, I got a job for you. You're in charge of sunsets up in old Montana, 'Cause I can't paint them quite as good as you...... , Up here in Alberta the night before last.......

A normal shrink could be 1-5% which is usually just the emptying of the digestive tract. 8% and over is dehydration and actual tissue loss. My experience had been on an average 36 hour haul from western Canada to Ontario was around 5% + on calves, less on yearlings. A lot of money has been made...

ya, if I need to change a light bulb in the house, I like to allow myself at least 4 hours.....

Free trip to the ER?? Not trying to tell you how to run yer business but I think your leaving money on the table. I might suggest, um, $0.50 per loaded mile?

So, with the arrival of the last calf safe and sound down by the crick, one more calving season draws to a close. As I was stuffing my raunchy, vile, stinking, stiff, putrid Carhart calving overalls, that for some reason I never get washed until calving is done, into the Maytag, I had a brief...

(Thought if I just called it pinkeye nobody would read my post.) We've been pretty fortunate this year so far, but I just turned them in to the big pasture with lots of tall grass and now just watching and waiting. Over the years it seemed that most (not all), the cases were in the left eye...

I think I know that rancher....
