Heifers and random pictures

Hey Jingo2. Thanks for your concern. The lump has
been taken care of. "Our heifers" referred to the yearlings.
You know, the ones that don't have calves. The other
pictures were 'random shots.' Sorry for the confusion.

Why don't you post some pictures of your operation, Jingo2?
I don't believe we've ever seen any.

Have a great day. :wave:

Angus62-thanks for your suggestion. We have done that in the
past with old hay and it worked. I don't know why we didn't think of doing
that in this situation. Sure worth a try and it wouldn't cost much.
Great idea. Thanks a million. :nod: :tiphat:

I don't why you want to pick a fight with me or are you just naturally this rude to people.

But if you'd do a little research here you'll see that I posted awhile back that I got out of cow biz after many yrs......
 
Faster horses said:
Huh? How was that post rude?

Interesting tho. Kola sold her herd after being in the cow
biz for many years, too. :?

Surely you still have some pictures of your cattle, ranch, dogs, etc.
to share here.

I do have some but #1 I fail to see how that any of your business or part of this conversation and #2.....so many of you people seemed scared shitless of this Kola person.......

I bet I've read that name 3 or 4 times today alone. Amazing.....I'm starting to feel that I missed out on something.

Lady, you sound like trouble in a leather bag....

Ok, McGee. Thanks for your help. I changed the size to large, but it won't allow me to click on anything to save that size and
it reverts back to the former size, which is too big. What now?

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.....Are ya trying to resize what you already have on Photobucket???

Anybody else know.... :lol: ...this is the blind leading the blind... :shock: :o 8)

In my experience Photobucket automatically downsizes large photos you put on their site to a good size for sharing on boards like this.
Because when you post them we don't have to scroll from side to side to see the whole pic indicates that the pic is not too large.
 
Nice pics, thanks! Is it common up that way to feed out minerals in an open trough? Down here a lot of loose minerals products contain a limiter so they don't consume too much of it at one time. So the mineral stays out in the pasture longer and need some protection from the weather

Ok, thanks, Justin.
I'll quit worrying about it. Just wish I could figure out the
size thing tho. :?

Oh well. At least you didn't call me a bag. :P :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

SOoooooooooo...would that be like calling the kettle black???.. :wink:
 
This mineral isn't affected too much by the weather, and yes,
it is common to feed mineral here in open tubs, troughs, etc.
Remember, we don't get as much rain as you do.
Sometimes we lose more to wind than rain. :? :shock: :P :lol: :lol:

Both salt and phosphorus is a limiter and
mineral consumption is dictated by the other forage available.
Quality and quantity of forage
dictates mineral consumption regardless of where you are.
Here, year in and year out, our cattle eat about 3 oz of mineral
per head per day. But they eat it in peaks and valleys, depending
on the nutrition in the grass. They eat more in the fall than
they do in the spring. We figure consumption on a year-long
basis. If you tried to figure it by days, or weeks, feeding free-choice
mineral could drive you nuts. This mineral has no grain by-products in
it like many mineral companies incorporate in theirs. It has yeast culture which helps palatibility.

That makes sense FH. Our loose minerals are pretty much the same and are consumed the same too. Our rains tend to make the mineral "harden up" when it dries out. And the bulls tend to knock those troughs over. We usually use the feeders that are low to the ground, fairly heavy and have a thick rubber mat over the top that the cattle have to lift up with their nose to get under it. Hard for the racoons to get into as well!
 
Our mineral company has those types of feeders, too, but we were always
concerned the calves couldn't figure out how to raise the
lid to get to the mineral.
In the springtime here, the calves seem to eat more mineral than the cows do
so we have never tried the covered ones. Really, there is
not much need for them in a desert. :wink:

You might check your ingredients, liveoak. Mineral that contains
grain by-products tend to get hard and set up like concrete.
 
Don't know why they send the graders in pairs.
Fallon County is known for their good equipment.
The other MT counties stand in line to get what Fallon
County trades in, or so I've been told. The minute
you cross into Carter County it's a whole other thing.
Two-track ruts, mostly. Yes, we are fortunate to have
such good roads.

They think they can cover more roads faster, but I like a road graded by one grader. The reason Carter and Custer County roads are in worse shape is they don't have the oil money to buy the equipment and hire as many people as Fallon County does. Plus they have less roads to cover, so can spend more time doing it.
