Good looking cow :) My boss is the fatest one too! Hmmm coincidence?

Sounds like a great idea, but like JHM said, not for the cold weather! lol I've never even seen them up here. I'm powdercoating all our outside metal items so they last, but I have connections to do it cheap. The only thing I'd worry about is them destroying it, cause you know how cows just...

haha, that's why I've spent the last month putting up a fence that will burn their hair off :D

Oh what a fun topic! We have one of course, DH wanted to butcher her..teeheehee. I'm the only one she doesn't give a hard time, but I tell him time and time again she'll be a great mother and as long as she's good to me thats all that matters.

True..we are lucky in a way, but then again not if we want to buy dairy calves..lol

wow! DON'T butcher her!! You can sell her for so much more! Get her a lil pasture friend and butcher that one if you want the meat :) Hols can be bred as early as a year, so you could sell her then, or keep her, breed her A.I. and sell her as a springer you could get even more $$. :welcome

Yikes! We had alot of rain like that about a month ago. I took pics of the pasture, the creek swelled over about a foot from the top of the banks..I don't mind the rain, I just hate having the swamp it leaves behind!

oh mymymy...just go drink a beer JHM. Really, it will make you feel better and have one for me too! I'd say the woman is over-reacting and really being sick isn't an excuse to be so rotten to you. If you own cows then you must be always ready to chase cows and not get mad cause then it makes...

Welcome! I'm partial to both beef and dairy..enjoy it here, your in good company!:welcome

I agree, not enough land to be working with. I'd say with feed and hay 2 cows would be okay. Too many would just make it a mud pit :( Good luck! :welcome

Much better!! I would recommend atleast that, haha, a .22 around here rarely kills groundhogs. Atleast I usually have my trusty pup along, she does a great job.

:welcome Good looking cows!

hehehe don't you LOVE idiots?!?! Remember, you can always think about it later and laugh, knowing how stupid they can be! I like to play dumb back and see how they react..teeheehee:lau

Extra teats arn't too bad on beef. Mine have a couple but I'm not cutting them off just due to the fact it isn't important. If your getting your dairy classified then it is a BIG no-no to have extras. *shruggs* so Its all your personal feeling. Very nice looking calves though, your highxherford...

Oh I was paying attention, my wonderful brother's POS truck backfired..lol..my hand just didn't let go fast enough. I miss that calf he was pretty, and your right, only 550lbs when he left.

Yeah I'm definately putting it somewhere that can easily be fenced in. I only have 13 so I really don't want to lose any. I'm slightly even getting attached to the lil buggers!

Yeah I put them higher up so the halters wouldn't be too tight. If they were lower on the noses then the halter seems to tighten up easily and may rub. I'll take them off in 3-4 days, we'll see how they progress. If I have time this year, I think I'd like to show Rocket, but thats months away so...

Not good.....I started building my coop this weekend. I'm hoping nothing comes close to the barn that I don't have to cage the lil things...good luck, I always find shooting the predators more satisfying!

Here is Tic-Tac and Rocket settled in nicely..Being taken from mom, tied in a trailer, then being loved and walked around tired them out! They didn't do too bad for never seeing a halter before :)

Congrats!!! I'm so happy to hear about people babies :) DH and I are "trying" to give some more grandkids.. seems its a bit harder then I thought!
