the hog that gave birth prolly had 12 good milking teats.its to bad a cow can't have 3 or more calves every time,then losing a small one wouldn't seem as bad. if my runts got colostrum,they did better on fresh green alfalfa then they did powdered milk.saved alot that way. good luck with the...

what I liked about those larger huts,u didn't have to bed them down in the winter.just put a large bale of straw in front of them,the sows packed it in themselves and made their own bed.next morn all u could see was snouts and eye balls. :lol:

i feel sorry for the owner.but i think 'mold' can be a bad word.be it hay,silage,or sweet potatoes.altho dairy cattle probably love alfalfa and sweet potatoes,they both can be harmful if fed at the wrong time.

iowa gave some of the same extremist,that are attacking the Right to raise and eat animals,the Right to marry. the straight iowa farmers need all the help they can get.united or single

thanks ben,i clicked on the http address at the bottom of your post.it pretty well cleared up my off-beat opinion.

the carcasses were skunks and opossums and coons that laid in a driveway all winter before being cleaned up and fed.i kicked a dead cow once and 5 possums came out. i just not choose to eat that meat.i feed mine fresh clean perch from lake.and they love it.i dont like the vaccinations and...
