This is a singing duet; they've got a great song out... Here's a link to the video. http://www.cmt.com/videos/joey/266100/cheater-cheater.jhtml Give it a listen...

My steer just goes wild for the Luck & Love carrot horse treats. Carrots...My steer loves carrots. Apples, cut into sections (I guess its a choking hazard to eat them whole). I too would be interested in spoiling him some more...So keep the great ideas coming!

Perhaps you could try something more natural? I don't know how good this works but pennyroyal has been rumored to be quite effective. Here's the website: http://ecobites.com/herbal-natural-remedies/natural-animal-fly-repellent.html I have an email out to my naturopathic doctor, as I'm looking...

wow...30 degrees. that's quite a change. It must be hard on the cows... Its supposed to 71 here tomorrow in WI. My steer is loving the weather. We haven't had any severe weather yet here. I hope those who have had it are all okay and doing well and didn't lose any cattle during the storms.

My pet steer is banded, and I certainly don't like the way it looks. Not that looks matter for a pet, but I still don't like it. I would have preferred he'd been cut; however, he wasn't mine at the time. I would ask that if you cut, or even if you band, give a little local anastethic before...

I have heard, and am not sure how true this is, but that whe cattle grind their teeth, they are in pain. Is there something that could be causing her pain? just something for you to consider?

Well, I definitely would not recommend SITTING anywhere near a steer that is even remotely not well-behaved. This would put the person in a very bad situation very quickly if things escalated. Something similar is happening with my steer (he's not for show, but still needs to be a nice boy). He...

Dori, I was just about to comment that the last place my husband worked, we had calves in the kitchen! Now keep in mind this is a small organic dairy farm and not a beef farm, but still a calf in the kitchen is quite different  (lol) We had a couple of calves in the basement, although the one I...

I'm thinking bullock is a British term. I'd really hate to be feeding this guy if he is supposed to eat as much as Maine12 says.  I'm wondering, Maine, if this guy isn't grazing and the steer only gets 17 lbs of grain etc.? Could that explain the difference in the amount of feed? ShowHeifer, I...

Red, It seems that lots of folks really understand where you're coming from as do I. My grandmother has schizophrenia (has for 45-50 yrs) and some days are really bad (we choose not to remember those). I'm sure you're dad will have a few good days where it seems nothing is wrong. Remember those...

I read and looked with amazement...  :o Any idea about why he would get that large??? I'm absolutely curious as to why this happened. Any explanations???? http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml;jsessionid=IYFZ4PNZEL52ZQFIQMGCFFWAVCBQUIV0?xml=/news/2007/12/05/nbull105.xml

Detergent??? I'm not so sure I'd put something in my animal that I myself would not consume. My husband's previous boss who was an organic farmer had the best idea yet. When cows would bloat my husband was instructed to give the cow 24 ounces of vegetable oil by mouth. They didn't put it on...

The only time I've heard of veg. oil being used for cattle was to relieve bloat. I've never heard of putting it in feed, but while thinking about it; it could work. Let us know if it does.

Hi there! I never let my steer drag the halter...Ever. Then again, he's a pain the a$$ now, and I have problems getting him out of the herd of water buffalos. Anyway...He didn't have a choice on where he was going or what he was doing for the first 2 months I worked with him. As soon as the...

Could it be the Randall Lineback?

Buddy has never had a bath! Guess maybe he needs one. My husband will be working with him more because I just tore a muscle in my shoulder. However, I could tie him up...Wonder why I never thought of that.  :o Farmboy---(lol) Yesterday when I was working with him, it seemed as though he was...

His previous owner/farmer castrated him before I started working with him I would say that must have been in early January? He used the rubber band thing (sorry I don't know the technical term for this). This definitely could be an option. What can be done if there were some testicular tissue...

He's not ugly at all...He's quite adorable! And if the kids love him and his is workable why not let them see what they can do with him? Good luck!

The water buffalo calves will be coming in a few weeks. Is it okay to wait until then to get him a companion? I have been going out there everyday, and my farmer friend has also been spending more time with him. He seems to know most of his limits. It has been stormy quite a few days ago...
