Had around 200 head of cattle stolen from the Watertown SD sale barn sometime along Tuesday night (I think that's what the news report said this morning)...FBI is investigating, but haven't located them yet. Apparently 5 semis backed in, loaded the cattle and haven't been seen since.... Don't...

You getting that storm yet Soapweed? We're on schedule to have it arrive at 1:00 p.m. today. Wonder if this storm will be more reliable to arrive than waiting on an airline to arrive on time? Time will tell. Stay safe to all who are in the path!

I had a great experience like that a couple weeks back...was going by the neighbors somewhat paying attention to a cow in the corner...she stood up and there layed her new born...didn't think anything of it, but slowed up any way -- then I noticed that the sack was open on the butt end, not the...

The horse the Cosmo Kid is riding, Sundance, looks to be a perfect twin to one I've got. He looks like he must stand close to 16H, is that right? If he's anything like mine, he's a smooth mover and can cover lots of country with his big stride.

Thanks for all the quick replies on the calf problem...tried to vaccinate, couldn't get the needle in anywhere...tried the linseed oil and he just drooled it down his neck...don't have any Vigortone mineral :shock: so don't know if that would work (know anyone who has any???)..."made" him lower...

Thought this would be a good way to start a Monday -- a little humor! Our problem "child" -- can't keep weight on him Fall starting to show its colors Photo op with few willing participants A view to where we are going

Years ago, I had a horse that came down on a post in his midsection on his side -- thank goodness. Figured him and another horse were messing around and he reared up and came down on it. By the time the vet got there, it was too late to stitch it, so we just kept doing the "hydro" therapy and...

Any one heard of it? I just bought some from a rancher who sells it and whom I respect. Started our cattle on it 2 days ago. I've never heard of it, but he swears by it. He uses it on his horses too and his cattle and horses are in very good shape. Anyone else use it and what results have...

I'm only passing along what was told to me. The vet said the calf was still alive when she gave him those pills to kill it and begin a fast deterioration the calf so it would come out -- one way or the other. I intend to find out the name of those pills and look it up. My curiousity has been...

Mrs.Greg: I asked him when he first told me what the pills were for...he said "They're gonna kill the calf fast and then start the calf deteriorating fast so I can pull it out, in pieces or however it comes within the next few days." So that's what he told me and I asked him twice. I also...

MR: I agree with you on that. My other post gives me sentiments on this particular vet. I don't know the name of the pills. I asked him what they were and he didn't know and he didn't remember what was marked on them. The vet got them outta the back of her truck, gave him however many he'd...

Talked to him a bit ago, and he pulled the calf outta the momma and said he wanted to lose it all, smell and just a sick sick thing. He's going to have the cow tested to see if he can butcher her with those pills he had to use on her and if not, he'll send her down the road as soon as the vet...

That's why I thought it was strange...I know the vet and don't really think a lot of her "talents". She may be good at something, but I haven't seen it with cattle or horses, maybe mice and chickens? Sorry to be sarcastic. But when the neighbor said that's what he was doing, I asked why he...

Neighbors cow having a hard time calving. He tries to pull it, can't get it. Calls the vet, vet comes out, tries to pull the calf for a bit. Then the vet says, can't get the calf out this way, so put these pills up into her uterus to kill the calf and help it deteriorate faster so you can get...

While I agree that Ranching is a business, it's not all it is...it's a way of life. They live it, work it, feel it, breathe it, it's a passion for every rancher I've ever had the fortune to meet and befriend. Big Corps are just that -- an entity, doesn't feel, doesn't care...but it's one of...

I, for one, think they are a dying breed. If you take a look at stats from 30 years ago to now, there are less and less of the family type farms/ranches and more and more of the conglomerate farms/ranches. For someone to try to get into farming or ranching today and make a full-time living at...

Would love to come as I'm from Montana and miss the people and times I had growin up on the ranch...but.......have to move 400 head of cattle tomorrow 17 miles, so we'll have our share of fun I imagine...I'll be thinkin of the roast beef though about half way through the drive as I naw on my...
