    quiet wean nose flaps -day 5

    Calves are quiet, cows are quiet. Udders are nearly gone... One thing that didn't change so far and that is the mother calf bond. They are still travelling in pairs, laying in pairs and keeping tabs of each other. I am afraid that when I do separate them I may find them only half weaned.. I...

    quiet wean nose flaps

    Okay I am trying them. Applied them on Thursday afternoon. Not to difficult to do once you get the hang of it, then takes about 2 seconds a flap. Then we put them all back together in a spent hay field. I had begun feeding them about a week ago. Next morning I switched the hay type to premium...

    Has anybody ever seen this? (viewer discretion)

    In the 35 years I have been calving cows this is a first. This was a first calf heifer. At feeding time I noticed her with a kink in her tail in the hay line eating, while I was watching another calf to make sure it was actually nursing and not just sucking skin, hind leg etc. All was well so...

    Cattle Guards.... and Government

    For those of you who have never traveled to the west, or southwest, cattle guards are horizontal steel rails placed at fence openings, in dug-out places in the roads adjacent to highways (sometimes across highways), to prevent cattle from crossing over that area. For some reason the cattle will...

    Importing semen to Canada

    I finally got word back from Ultimate Genetics and they said that the rules for improting semen have stayed the same. They are currently trying to talk to CFIA to find out if and when the anaplasmosis and blue tongue requirements for semen will also be dropped. More time delays and...

    More kitties... just for fun

    These really are Siamese.... Don't all kitties love to snuggle under a blanket? Typical Tilly using her one viable brain cell in determination to get in the box. I decided that "red eye" had a neat effect in this case. What is the affinity that cats have over the act of being in a bag...
