    Is there a prejudice for "fluffy" women? N/C

    What about easy calving?  I think that would be a good trait for a "fluffy".  I always won those weight guessing contests.  Even my husband would pass out if he knew what I weighed. LOL  My name is Juli and I am Fluffy!

I am guessing that Darby would fit best...

    Ohio Beef Expo:slight change of plans

    Our Expo special on semen is that you get a cool Gigolo Joe collector's cap.  There are only so many in "cap"tivity at the moment and we will ONLY be handing them out to people that purchase semen...and a few select people who's husbands steal their caps!  The bottom side of the pedigree is...

    Ohio Beef Expo:slight change of plans

    I plan on putting him to the test this year. My daughter has the prettiest Maine cow there ever was. She's never raised a calf good enough for the local sale barn. She will get him. I've tried Ali, Dr Who, Jazz son with awful results. I gave a lot of money for her otherwise she'd been gone by...

    Thank you for that resize!  He is still a bull but whomever buys him can do whatever they like with him.

    Ohio Beef Expo:slight change of plans

    Well, there has been a last minute change of plans for us on our Gigolo Joe display for the Ohio Beef Expo.  I have been really nervous about taking a newly weaned and young calf to display for three days so far from home.  I am more concerned about keeping the calf healthy and not dragging...

    Is Recover something that you can keep on hand in case of emergency?

    Calving Ease: Is it all "bull"?

    Just one more thing too.  So many times I hear from people that you should never use " bull A" because they had a 120# calf once out of that bull and he's a cow killer.  I think it is extremely unfair to judge a bull based on ONE cow and one bad experience.  They never mention what the cow is...

    Frozen Ears..

    Once the ears have frozen there is very little that you can actually do to save them.  To prevent the freezing you can dry them completely and wrap them back against the head being carful not to wrap too tight.  I actually use hoods depending on how aggressive the momma is about licking them. ...

    Heifer's vulva is HUGE, could anyone tell me what the problem could be?

    Get her a shot of antihistimine.  I would say that she is having an allergic reaction.  DO THIS!  I have had it happen several times.  That last one died because I thought she would be just fine.  The vet guessed that it was caused by a bee sting but really wasn't sure.  It won't hurt to err...

    Calving Ease: Is it all "bull"?

    TJ, I think it would only be fair to compare apples to apples.  Just curious, but if you were to study within the Lowline industry would you consider all of the lowline bulls to be calving ease bulls when you are breeding them to lowline cattle? Or are they considered calving ease when they are...

    Calving Ease: Is it all "bull"?

    I have had so many phone calls in the past few weeks that I just wanted to make a few comments about calving ease bulls and breeding decisions.  Most of the people that I have had the opportunity to talk to about calving ease bulls are looking for the ultimate bull to use on their show heifer. ...

    droopy calf

    Red, I know that I talked to you on the phone but I would try this as well as the BCD Antitoxin booster.  Get that cow in and make SURE that she is milking.  I had a cow with a big udder and the calf would suck but wasn't getting anything.  Make CERTAIN that the cow is indeed giving a good...

    Weird objects found in your feed

    I found a man's billfold in a bale of stalks that I had run through the bale processor.  It had the driver's license, several credit cards, a casino card and from what I could tell, about 300 dollars! Bad part was that all that was left of the  cash was the magnetic strip that runs through the...

    Home Phones! non cattle

    We tested for two months not using our home phone.  We just hooked the answering machine directly to the home line for that time.  The only calls we received on our land line were telemarketers and salesmen.  We used that time to get family used to calling us on our cells.  We finally...
