    200 Dead cows in Wisconsin

    Up to 200 cows have mysteriously been found dead in Wisconsin in the latest mass animal death. Has anybody heard any of this?  They are saying that the cows "may have died on BVD or BRSD" or some type of virus.  Any other information on this.  Everything I read is very vague

    MiraFount water freezing

    We have both Mirafount and Pride of the Farm energy free waterers.  You have to have sufficient numbers of animals drinking from them to keep an adequate amount of water flow to keep the tanks warm.  Also as stated above installation is key to the success of these waterers. The balls will...

    Cold Hands

    I am needing advice/information from all out Northern friends on the best gloves and boots to keep hands and feet warm in below zero weather. I don't have any trouble keeping warm with the exception of my hands.  When my hands get cold they hurt.

    Stolen Fan @ Ohio AGR

    As much as feeder and killer cows are worth right now my biggest concern for this years show season is cattle being stolen.  I hope that the show administrations are taking this into consideration and preparing for added security. The robberies and home invasions in our part of the country have...

    Fire Water for slick smokey steers

    For those of you that like Firewater I believe that Smoke on the Water has been overlooked in the Firewater frenzy.  We used Smoke last fall of a few PB and have been very pleased with the calves.  He does tend to reproduce to the cow.  If the cow is soggy  the calf is soggy.  If the cow is...

    Do cattle have/express emotions?

    Going with Knabe's definition of emotion then yup I believe that they do.

    future heirs no more

    Did you hear the interview that Weiner did on Fox where he said  "Why do you care that your estate is paying those high estate taxes you are alread dead"? There is no such thing as passing on a heritage any more.  Good Bye family farms.

    Question about a new sale sight

    If you are looking at the end of October you are going to run into the American Royal.  Would that be a problem since there is not a Red Angus show at the Royal?  Are you looking to have it in conjunction with a show or as a stand alone event.  If it is a stand alone event  the Springfield...

    The Electric Fence (N/C)

    Must of been one of the Weed Burners that used to be marketed.  Man Those things would hurt and you could not let go.  In a dry year they would also start a heck of a fire.

    A good bull of a different flavour

    Best bull we ever owned hands down for the commercial money making side was a Braford.  What little dock you got at the sale barn for the ear was more than made up in pounds of calf weaned.  And the replacement females were just flat out good.  Easy keeping, bred right back calves unassisted. ...

    I always just pray for all of the calves to hit the ground running,  no heads, legs turned back no upside down backwards and NO scours. <party>  After that some Perfect Winds (charolais)

    Exciting Times at Agribition

    Some people will do anything to win.  This just one of many instances that prove it. It will be more interesting to see if the show will punish the offender and what that punishment will be.  Esp if that same group also had the Grand Champion Bull.

    Who left the door open?

    All right, I want to know which one of our Northern Neighbors left their South Door open? We went from an unseasonably balmy 70 degrees yesterday to a forecasted low tonight in the 20's!  >:( Please close the door the shock is too much.  I know that your guys are much tougher than we are but...

    Vote against hsus....

    I voted yesterday.  I am appalled with at the needy charities out there that the majority of the ones winning the money are the HSUS and other rescue organizations.  I think that the people in this country care more for animals than they do their fellow human beings.  I guess that this is why...

    Movement and Soundness 101....

    No Telos that steer is not a prime example of an animal that moves poorly.  I knew I would catch h*** when I made that comparison.  I would love to have bred some steers like him myself.  However I do think that he labors a bit off one hind leg and doesn't stride out as well I would like to see...
