    Infectious Bovine Keratoconjunctivitis

    (Thought if I just called it pinkeye nobody would read my post.) We've been pretty fortunate this year so far, but I just turned them in to the big pasture with lots of tall grass and now just watching and waiting. Over the years it seemed that most (not all), the cases were in the left eye...

    Bred cows cycling

    Had one years ago. Bred around April, "stood" mid summer, calved January. Did it a few years. Got one now, 8 year old, will stand before calving, after calving, before breakfast etc.... I would describe it as recreational reproduction. Sometimes ya gotta just look the other way....

    Custom calving cows

    What do these types of agreements look like in your area? Feed costs / plus yardage / plus live calf incentive? How are the vet bills etc handled? As a rule, does everyone still remain friends after these deals?

    Cows Pump There Own Water

    I have 2 of these for sale if anybody wants them. I don't like them. Good idea but until her calf is about 350 lbs, he can't operate it. Some of my cows got raw noses operating it and it was hard to watch them on a hot day beating on that thing trying to get enough water as it only dispenses...

    A tale of bull to cow ratio and the results

    Wow! Pushin the envelope on a few things there, and bravo to them for being able to take those chances. I had to break a few rules last year managing my yearling heifers. I got away with it. But, I gotta keep reminding myself, it's just like blastin over the speed limit going into town. Been...

    Cattle owner true story

    Not sure what the rules are in that situation but in Canada it is illegal for FEED STORE STAFF to practice veterinary medicine. Way back when I was a pup working behind the counter we could SELL penicillin but not prescribe it. Later in my career our vet and I had an agreement. He promised not...
