I like my laid back QH and really liked my QH/Morgan mare.

I fed my mares flax ( 1 cup each, ground/per day - they were working hard at a cattle feedlot) all winter/spring and a good mineral supplement, their coats came in beautiful and shiny, one mare did not shed the hair on her ears and still had some long guard hairs left so I dosed her with Quest...

This is our first time raising calves - we bought two from a dairy then a baby was born at the feedlot I work at so we brought her home as well. I am new at this but it seems if you are going to feed one two more are not that much more work, takes more time to mix their milk then it does to feed...

With one calf drinking out of a "hang on fence" square bucket, one drinking out of a small pail that I hold for him and one still on the bottle I am wondering how everyone else secures their pails and bottles so that their calves do not send them flying and milk spilling all over the place...

My favorite breeds are Landrace and Duroc and crosses between the two. Quiet and easy to work with - maybe because of thier floppy ears? And they taste good!

My horses love cucumbers - they get the big over grown ones. They also enjoy corn stalks and cobs - in moderation, and one thing all my horses absoloutly love and I plant some just for them are sunflowers! The most fun is to lead your horse up to a great big sunflower stalk and watch them...

Okay, two Jersey babies doing well, I plan to halter train them but the halters are way too big! They are wearing dog collars right now, just so I know who is who. Red one is Norman and Blue collar is Baloney. We aquired a beef calf, born at the feedlot I work at - her name is Minnie - a black...

Speckle Park are my favorite - I have had a few pens of them in the feedlot I work at - they are quiet, healthy, easy to work with, always eating and look so tasty! Seem to finish very well. Other favorites are Shorthorn, Belgian Blue, Maine Anjou, Tarentaise and even the odd Limousin. My very...

Our two Jersey pail bunters are about a week old, we have had them for three days now. I finally got to the store to buy them some calf starter, was tickled pink, looking forward to giving my boys a treat but read the label to find there is added selenium in the calf starter - Brown's Frosted...
