Doesn't work on horses any more, he's a little crippled up from auther itis. He has trained many replacements for his skills, but none as good as he was. He voluntarily worked on all of young men in various sports, of high school age. He has trouble keeping his own weight down as does his...

Any animal that makes its living traveling, should be first judged from the ground up. Just my thoughts.

Keep talking, I'm listening, haven't done it here....yet.

There is nothing wrong with a black baldy, especially the the mama hereford has alot of pigment around her eyes and bag. When it snows those white bags sunburn badly, and one has to doctor them. A black crossed with a shorthorn will sometimes present you with a blue roan. Nice cattle, but can...

For what it is worth, our next door neighbor had mutilations in the 70's. In real rough country that one could only access by air. Later I hired a kid from somewhere near Loveland CO, said his Grandpa climbed a windmill and sat there in the dark until a helicopter came by and picked up a cow...

Best to cut them standing, and from behind, they don't kick you if you curl the tail up tight in a circle by their tailhead. Have someone hold it while you work. Never knife cut anything without pulling each ball bag out firmly and consistently until the remaining part is just a thin string...

I bought two yearlings out of him this spring. Ouch they were spendy, but nice. I've never used him before that I know of, however he is going to spend some time with my little girls this spring. I have bought bulls from this outfit before, and they (she) always tell me I have a very good...

In the distant past we used to call that 'body density to surface ratio'.

acidolphus lactobacillius can also be bought at either Walmart or your local Health Food Store, very cheaply.

It is best you keep a shot of cal mag, on hand to give a cow that goes down. If you don't have that ready, you can place a handful of Epsom Salt in the south end of a cow headed north, in the port next to the tail. Only use if nothing else is immediately available. One can't get mag into the...

Just use the yogurt that Maple Leaf advised, it is just the natural friendly flora those babies need to digest food. No ill effects! If you don't have that try buttermilk, also gut friendly.

And I agree with those that tell you to donate your sand, don't add to your troubles by getting into this deal. JMO

Want and am ready to buy, I saw pictures at Deadwood last fall.

Soap...Vit A shots causing abortions is one of last things I would have thought of, but I believe you are 100% correct, been there done that. And as far as Miles City figuring out the cause of pine needle abortion, I have to say that they have been working on that project for at least 40 years...

One could buy a pickup slightly used, say 5,000 miles on it, pay no tax and advoid the yearly income tax on all those calves and yearlings, Soapweed takes pictures of and posts. I also like it for the reason it stops us (US) from being a disposable society. Since many large Corp's don't pay...

I just got mine done yesterday...my results were about like yours. I have got to put two old cows down! Boy I hate to do that job, but will grit my teeth and do it. When they get so old and refuse to die, after a decade or 1 1/2 decades, given me a good calf every year its tough to do. :cry:

First off I have not looked up the bulls listed, this post is a glittering generality. The two traits one for "carcus" and the other trait "fertility" have a negative correlation. That is when one breeds for carcus one looses the fertility and visa versa. I go along with Faster Horses...

one can buy capsules of acidolphus lactobacillius, or yougert starter at either Walmart, Kmart or a health food store. Yes even yougert works, and so does buttermilk. It has always amazed me how well those simple treatments overcome the effects of an antibiotic. Several treatments should get...

Last one we had tru here left a cow or three bred at each place. :?

I'm not brave enough to post this in the other (crabby) forum. They sent out a traveling rep to try and tie up any catttle, even calves for fall delivery. I understand from other sources that the feed lot need cattle badly, and are finishing younger cattle at lighter weights.
