    Got up to clouds and grey. Drizzle.... It is now starting to clear off and the sun is trying to peek through. Looked on the weather and the radar shows it pretty much gone to the north and out of here. Might be some actual sun later, but just some high clouds for awhile. Pa getting it and...

    The passage area of the spine where the spinal cord and nerves pass through between vertebrae, where he had the concussion and that area, is a bit narrow... might be some arthritis type stuff also but some damage... but surgeries are dangerous there... so weighing some other options... this dr...

    Ridgetop - our place and how we muddle along

    I'd pen that ewe separate and worm without waiting for a fecal... keep her in where it might be cooler/protected from the sun. It is going to be an ongoing transition for the sheep... totally different climate and moving them before the worst of the TX heat makes the transition harder for...

    Coffee anyone ?

    @Skiesblue , I am sorry for your losing him, but it was the best for all. Funny thing, my german shepherd did the same... she had lymphoma, and got to where she got weak, couldn't eat, and it was time. I made appt with vet, he was going to do it when he got home and I was going to meet him...

    Teresa & Mike CHS - Our journal

    What about asking at the auction barn? One of the workers might be able to help out one day for a few hours for some pay... you ought to know them pretty well by now... You aren't adopting them, just getting some "muscle" for some pay for a few hours.

    Teresa & Mike CHS - Our journal

    I am thinking that you don't have any of the previously available help from the neighbor's kids/grandkids to help? One day's worth of pay for help? You can advise, Teresa can be the on site, in the middle supervisor, and a younger man can do the GRUNT work?

    Show steer pen layout help

    7x6 is not as big as 2 sheets of plywood laid on the ground next to each other... which are 8x8.... how much time is this steer going to be in this pen? That's barely enough room for him to turn around in and lay down. If he stays in here very long, you will be cleaning it out constantly, he...

    The journey into the abyss of no return

    I have NO CLUE. Are the 2 drugs different? If that is the case, then feeding the "type B' mixed with regular feed is one wormer that targets certain type worms and "type C" is a different wormer and targets different worms? Maybe they are trying to say to feed Type B mixed with feed, and ADD...

    The journey into the abyss of no return

    You are MIXING the type B medicated feed at 1 lb PER 14.13 lbs regular feed that you are feeding... to CREATE type C feed... which is the EQUIVALENT of the 300 gr per ton.......SO you feed the type C feed that you made up... in a quantity less than a ton of feed.... at the rate of approx .9...

    The journey into the abyss of no return

    Couple of things... having the rounded sides, loses some space for calves... they need to be able to stand up... hind end first, and they will not get as close to the sides if they feel that they do not have the "head space"... and not as many will go in because of the lack of "upper body...

Got the soaker hoses all out and "kinda" put together... will get them rolled and put those clamp things I got from Harbor Freight last year to keep them together... they're neat. Move vines and decided that...

    Baymule’s 2025 Lambing

    Don"t forget @Ridgetop ... you are going to be dealing with very different weather in TX. The year round breeding you had success with in CA is very likely NOT going to follow the same pattern in TX.
