    Hello and welcome.

    You might know me from BYC, but I'm here to admire the herds!

    Welcome here. Plenty of animal pics around. You can see my small herd and dogs here. https://www.backyardherds.com/threads/grants-mini-herd.40200/

    Grants mini herd

    Not sure. It probably depends on when they are using him.

    Grants mini herd

    He’s got several hundred acres. He’s going to use him on heifers for easy calving. More girlfriends = less bored Olaf.

    Emergancy with my Mini pig!

    BTW he may have been chewing on the corn stalks because they would help get some fiber in the gut to offset the sugar. Amazing how animals know what they need.

    Emergancy with my Mini pig!

    It may be sure overload with the Twizzler and the Cookies. Much like the kids after Halloween, he’s probably just over done it and has a tummy ache.

    Grants mini herd

    My dentist raises mini Galloways. That’s where my steer came from. Her mini Galloway bull got in to her husbands high $ registered Angus and bred 5 of his cows in 1 day. He was a busy boy.

    Grants mini herd

    I am. I had knee surgery 6 weeks ago and just now getting back to about 90%. Scope. But I had several small tears in 3 different spots so they did a lot in there. Still swells if I overdo it, or do nothing at all. Seems it likes to move….for a while. Yesterday I worked 6 hours, hard...

    Emergancy with my Mini pig!

    Sure he didn’t get into something else? Laundry or dishwasher pod, cleaner, sock? Keep an eye on him and make sure he is drinking plenty. It could be a stomach bug…it happens.

    Grants mini herd

    Not sure what I’d use on them. Maybe an Aberdeen bull semen would work. Most full size breeds would be too big for the cows, they are part Highland, I’d guess them at about 800-900 lbs I don’t want that much Highland in my meat to use Highland semen and Dexter semen, if you could find it...

    Grants mini herd

    Yeah, he wrapped it around his horns and pulled out 1/4 mile of wire. Great for me that he’s so tame he stood there and let my wife unwrap it off of him. I was out of town when it happened.

    Grants mini herd

    Well I sold my bull today. He has been a fencing nightmare and he’s a jumper. Today he cleared a 54 inch cattle panel with a barbed wire over the top. That’s 5 feet of fence. He’s been getting out more often and I think he’s just a bored boy. I can’t risk the liability of him getting hit...

    If it’s taller than the grass, you could use a wick applicator on it with Roundup/water in a 50-50 mix.

    Dexter Cattle

    I like smaller breed cattle also. My cows are full size Hereford cross with Highland. My bull is mini British Park cross with Wagyu. I’ll have 1/4 Wagyu beef. My 2 calves are growing like weeds.

    If you don’t mind driving half way across the country Dexters are plentiful and reasonable here. https://springfield.craigslist.org/grd/d/cameron-herd-reduction-irish-dexter/7361616061.html https://springfield.craigslist.org/grd/d/brighton-dexter-cow-with-bull-calf/7350346573.html Here’s a...
