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.
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.
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...
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.
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...
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.
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...
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.
