Speed goats don't count. I want the pictures of him showing them at the county fair. Big H that is, no pretending that they are his kid's project!

You left out the pictures of your goats!

I use Inforce 3 at birth and Once PMH in the fall at preconditioning/weaning time.

According to what I have studied, the IN delivery pathway results in quicker immunity but not necessarily long term. Our vet has us doing Once PMH IN as the first round and then boosting with Once PMH SQ.

Nothing is more frightening than a sick child. We, as men, do not do well when there are things beyond our ability to fix. Interesting that you were at Rocky Mountain Children's on friday, we were at Colorado Children's on friday with my middle daughter. Hope for the best and lean on the only...

I use Ranch Manager for my record keeping and there are a few steps to get the information into the program. It might be able to accept information directly, I don't know as I have never tried. I really don't want my computer out in the corral. What I have to do is fairly painless to get the...

I have a Tru-Test scale head with a bluetooth wand. Once you get the EIDs in the first time it is so easy to use that just about every time the cattle go through the alley they get weighed. We have the ID5000 scale head. The reader is easy to use, its range is somewhere around 12 inches. Any...

30% open rate will make the HB vaccine look pretty cheap. That was what happened to us when we had a HB infection that we didn't realize we had. We are still dealing with the effects of that with broken down bags due to mastitis. The worst year also hit us with 70lbs less at weaning time. I...

You don't. You fill the small one, pull it off and let the vacuum equalize, shake the little bottle up and then run the small bottle contents back in to the big bottle and shake it up and then you are ready to go. It comes with a different style of transfer needle that lets you bleed the...

I am filled with shame at my duplicity. :cry2: :cry2: :lol2: :lol2: :lol2:

Yeah, I post under my real name there. I was worried about the rough crowd here when I signed up. When I met my future mother-in-law for the first time for some reason I am still not clear about she was sure that my name was Fred. I have used it over the years to pick on her.

By the time I got done hiding all of the posts on Facebook from people that were irritating me with their garbage and self-centered posts I am left with about three guys that I went to high school with. It turns people into narcissists, or maybe it just allows self-centered people a bigger...

My grandfather started with a straight Hereford herd when he came home from the army after WWII. He kept it that way for quite a few years, but by the late 60s or early 70s it had become apparent that they needed to make a change. They purchased a couple of black Angus bulls that turned out to...

There seems to be some conflicting research on the issue of processing. One article I found said that without processing the cattle would be able to get little good from the flax. The articles I found that recommended processing were focused more on the effects that flax could have on...

We are looking at raising flax and using it in our backgrounding diets. From all of the research papers that I have read it looks like we will need to roll it in order to get any good out of it. Does anyone here have experience with processing flax? I plan on using an Automatic roller mill...

I was recently to a wedding for a classmate in Oklahoma City that had several reporters and journalists from all over the country. That question came up, "What about antibiotic free non-hormone beef in the Whole Foods that I go to?" I answered that I thought it was immoral to have a treatment...

I don't know enough about this to make any well informed comments. Having said that, Mercola is a highly suspect source of information about anything. I recently saw an article from him that said that you can eat as many as a dozen eggs a week, as long as they were all natural, cage free...

Ah, yes...but what did he teach you about goats? That is the real question. Or maybe you learned about livestock diversification from him? :lol2: :lol2: :lol2:

Timing, distance to travel and content. From the article linked on the website it appears you are with UW as an extension educator? I looked over the offering and while I can see that there might be some topics that are more in depth than what we see at the Range Beef Cow Symposium it appears...

Not these farmers and not in this area. My wife has family in this area and north of there up into Minnesota. Much of these purchases are local farmers and are not necessarily borrowing money to buy land. There has been very little correction in land prices as of yet throughout that region...
