    Need an idea of how much he weighs from the pics

    I'm guessin about 550-575, I doubt he's more then that. He's not real tall and jhm is right that he isn't too thick. Looks real "clean" and healthy skinned though.

    Brown Swiss

    Okay, I'm a sucker. I got twin bulls lastweek that are hol/swiss and they are just adorable. They took the bottle well and are starting to eat grain very well. They were born at 90 and 80 lbs. Yes the momma cow is alright since having them. I'll have to get some pics of the lil dolls. I knew I...

    1 show day done!

    yes that was the Reading Fair. And thanks to everyone :) Two weeks ago I was at the All American Dairy Show with Anise, we placed 10th, not too bad. I had hopes of being in the top 10 and I did that, so I guess I could be proud. Always next year!

    New to dairy farming. Question(s)

    Oh bless your heart wynedot, your a brave one! lol, I like keeping milkings under or around 3 hours..Anymore then that and it might just feel like work haha..I managed a herd of 200 milkers, that was enough to keep you busy and yet have some kind of relationship with each of the cows. Where I'm...

    A little bull! pics !

    Awesome calf! Nice thick coat too. Oh, sexed semen is overrated. They use a centrifuge to separate the male from female sperm and it basically ruins the tails of all the sperm. BIG waste of money. Try breeding the heifers early if you want females since the female sperm are "coated" and last...

    Injured Kitty and Tylan.

    Yeah, I dont recommend Tylan for cats. It will probably sting like mad and also getting a proper dose for such a small animal would be tough. Pennicilian works great on cats :)

    Emergency....Dog Attack!!!

    You did a great job, that granulex is good stuff and their wounds should heal nice. Yeah, dogs are the worst because their mouths are full of soo many bacteria :( I hope they both do okay for you...poor lil ones!:hugs

    Udder wash udderly necessary?

    Most farmers I know will use it for their cows, I don't know about goats. But I feel it is important on animals because they always have the possibility of getting dirty, and they do. We don't need it because our "parts" arn't being drug around manure/mud/flies etc all day. The cows don't mind...

    Where do I learn show and pre-show techniques? (cattle)

    Great idea, it can be hard for a beginner to know when the feet are "under" the animal because stretching a mere 3-4" makes a huge difference in the stance of the calf. :barnie only 5 more days till I ship to the fairs here..yikes! (making my lists and checkin them twice!)
