    What to do? What to do? N/C

    Wife and I went for the first time in April. We took a day trip out most days to see other things. Even drove to California for lunch one day just to say we had been to California! Sat in the sun and soaked up some rays. Watched a couple shows, Tournament of Kings at Excalibur was pretty good...

    Are there dairy steers at your county or state fair?

    I agree that the dairy feered calf program should be limited to kids 12 and under be we were told that we could not do that due to age discrimination issues. I know the feeder calf project is a shorted / cheaper way to go but as stated above, those calves do not perform well in the feedlot after...

    How is sale order determined at your county fair?

    At our fair, all the kids names are put in a hat and drawn out for sale order so it is just luck of the draw.  Grand and reserve of each species sell first, then it goes to the random drawing order. DLZ

    Re need tips on what shampoo to use

    In my experience, most folks "over" shampoo the calves hair. Once or twice a week is sufficient along with daily rinsing. More than that will just dry out the calf's hair. Most any shampoo not designed for oily hair should be OK. DLZ

    Boarding cows

    Thanks for the ideas, What I am really asking is a price for year around care of cows. As I have 5 cows and currently purchase all the feed ( I only have 1.5 acre pasture). My kids have moved out so I have very little help now. It is a hassle to find hay to purchase, find a place for manure etc...

    dyeing a calf

    Just my two cents on the spelling deal; if I receive a job application and there are a lot of misspelled words, it gives a bad impression. Always practicing good spelling will develop good habits.If two applicant have the same qualifications, the one with the correct spelling will get the job. ...

    Boarding cows

    Does anyone own cows but board them elsewhere? How does this work? Do you pay a fee per month? Yearly fee? How do you handle vet/breeding costs? I only have a few cows and have to purchase all my feed antway so was thinking I might be just as well off having someone else board them for me as...

    OK; seems everyone agrees the cow is the best deal, so my next question would be; What are the embryos worth? Half the value of the cow? More or less? Thoughts? Thanks again for everyones opinions, DLZ
