Sorry another ear tag question, but what size do you all usually use? Does it make a difference?

Can't wait to see the baby!!!

Thank you, Chrystal is really pretty, but she's not overly friendly, the other two are complete attention hogs, but not Chrystal, once caught you can do what you want/need, but catching her is the big challange. How much I feed depends on the type and how much work they are doing, but even in...

I think you all probably have way more experience then me, but my mom and dad both like to have me help choose the goers! The first thing I cull on is temperment, and that goes for the meanies and the crazy scardy cats. Then probably production, then horns, then if there's nothing else, color (I...

We always use polled bulls, so we're good there!

Thank you, I think I was just being a worry wart, she doesn't act like she's starving so much now, and she does look abit sunken from the top when I go to feed, but she fills out pretty good after a bottle. I am watching for scours, and so far we're good! She's also already drinking water...

We do have some horns, that cow in the pic is my dad's only horned cow. My mom majorly downsized last year and kept one cow and 3 heifers, but it's looking like the two youngest heifers are going to be horned so we're debating on keeping them. They're nice heifers but we'd really like to faze...

I won't be training them to pull together, they don't match up well enough, but I think it will be nice to have a spare! I also have a fixer upper cart I will be getting ready to start using to. Me and Skip go out to a friends house and drive w/ her, but it will be nice to go from here w/ a...

The palomino? That's Easy, she's in the first pic to! I should have gotten a pic of my horse, Magic, he's a palomino to, I just love how golden they are right now!

Ok, this one is Money, she'll be starting cart training soon, I need some better pics, but I just got her over the Winter and I'm still waiting for her to shed out, And Crystal, And my current driving mini Skip, As for feed I give free choice hay to Chyrstal and Money, Skip gets a pot belly...

The calf in the third pic is a miniature holstein steer! She gets 3 bottles a day, the pics were taken just after she ate, when I milked the goats a few hours later she already had that sunken look. I may just be a worry wart.

He is mixed, he is by the same bull as my other calf, and his mom is my one and only cow, she's half simmental and half who knows what. This is the third calf between these two, all bulls. This is her first one, And her second one (apparently I only have baby pics) She's currently on a date...

I went out to take pics of some of the cows, and while I was out there I took some of the horses too! So thought I'd share them, I just love the colors this time of year! They were all running past me, so I was snapping pics of them as they went by, this was just before Joker the mule desided...

So I went alittle pic crazy, I wanted some updated pics of my other calf, my one calf of the year, until this year! Would have been easier if I wasn't being harrassed by a mule, but I did get some, as well as some of the other cows, and the horses (but I will post them in the horse section). So...

We've made it nearly a week! So I had to take new pics! She looks alittle thin to me, how do I know if she's getting enough? Or to much? Any raising tips? She's not my first bottle baby, but it's been a long time and I just want to be sure I'm doing everything right.

I wouldn't doubt theres alittle floppy ear in there, ever once in awhile an extra floppy calf will pop up! But there's not near enough in my opinion, I'm with you on the floppies, I love them!! My dad has some floppy earred heifers that I wish were mine!

I don't see anything wrong w/ starting w/ mini. They are cheaper in that they are smaller, but everything else is the same. Hoof care is importants, seems like their feet grow faster then full sized horses, and farriers that work on minis can be harder to find. It's important to train them...

This is her dad, I think this was about 2 years ago, And her mom from last year,

I have seen pics of baby dexters and she does look similar now, but I only think she looks that way now, she won't after she gets alittle older. Both my parents have cows, mom recently cut way back (one cow, and three heifers), so this year she only had one, but dad's herd has been growing so...

I am mixing it now, I wish I hadn't bought the replacer, I had every intention of using goat milk, although she wasn't officially mine until the replacer was bought, so that was another thing.
