I've splinted them with sticks and duct tape, and I've done nothing and let them hobble around and tough it out. They seem to get over it and improve in about the same amount of time either way, so that leads me to believe that it's the time and space to exercise it that actually fixes it. It...

Even when we try hard, everything can't be perfect, and the base of the ear doesn't give a lot of margin for error, anyway. That's one of the drawbacks to using Excede, but it is a really good product. The biggest problem is not the location so much, but that you gave it in the muscle instead...

Good advice, Bird. Welcome to Ranchers.

That's interesting, thanks for the information. Do you have markets locally where farmers or ranchers can sell live animals? Something similar to our cattle auctions or sale barns? Our auctions typically will sell all classes of cattle - calves, yearlings, breeding cows, and slaughter cows and...

No apologies necessary, and this site certainly isn't for U.S. producers only. A general location is important so people are giving you advice that is actually useful for you and your situation. I know nothing about Borneo, or the cattle business in Borneo, or the beef business in Borneo -...

Welcome to Ranchers.net. My first thought is that if you're wanting to sell beef, you'd be a lot better off buying calves or yearlings to feed instead of trying to maintain a cow herd. And you certainly don't want to have to put up with a bull for only five cows. (Your neighbors with cattle...

A calf every 40 to 50 seconds is fast enough. Usually just the two of us and it's been a long time since we could work that fast. We do everything in a squeeze chute and average about 30 per hour on our home-raised calves and we can only do it that fast because we also band at birth. That...

A nice big heifer with a lot of capacity. I like her a lot, too.

No, I saw his posts, but they were more than a year ago and I don't remember seeing any activity from him lately. His posts were always thoughtful and informative, and his political observations were always spot-on, as well. Maybe he'll drift through here again one of these days.

It would sure be nice if @Traveler would come back. I always enjoyed his posts.

FH, I don't think those people in Arkansas use mineral. They're mostly anti-vaxxers and probably think a sulphur salt block is a complete mineral program.

Welcome to Ranchers - kinda quiet around here lately. A search brings up a few hits with members discussing their calving setups, including cameras. But, nothing within the last year and camera technology is changing very fast. If you haven't already done so, use the search box in the upper...

We have better luck with the Tomcat bars, and like the rest of you, we really go through them this time of year. The Hawk bars are also green with a little different texture and color, but for some reason they don't seem to work as well for us. Dogs love all of the bars, so be sure to use them...

Weirdo/wacko ideology seems to be taking over everything now. That kind of stuff is to be expected from young people - college kids, etc. But, a lot of these people are old enough to know better. SMH

Yes, that was a blast from the past. I go way back into Bull Session every once in a while to read some of those old threads. There's some good reading in those old threads.

Mike, you know that article is nothing but junk science. It didn't even contain any input from the learned and esteemed Dr. Singletary - the world's foremost expert on the subject of prions. As Traveler pointed out, though - good to see you around again.

With what you're already supplementing - 4#/hd/day of 26% cubes - and figuring the value of wheat hay at 20+ pounds/hd/day, I wouldn't use the lick tubs at all. Certainly never in the spring or summer when forage is at it's peak. If anything, you might consider sticking out a couple of round...

I use the simple rule of thumb that if I have plenty of dormant grass or am putting out enough hay, cattle will get enough energy, given proper protein supplementation. If you don't have enough dormant grass or hay, you'll be better off using a natural protein supplement that will also provide...

Great points. I'll choose dealing with a dog or a snot-blowing old crazy cow over dealing with people any day. I guess I lack the diplomacy and social skills to deal well with people. People suck, anyway, so I don't really care - just leave me the hell alone. LOL
