    Charolais bulls on club calf cows to raise a smoke

    Corn Stalks

    In southern MN where we had adequate rain, I paid $ 15/bale to get 5 x 6 bales made on my own land.  Not for sale, but I would not sell for less than $ 30 fob my farm, and I would probably be too cheap.  Hearing $ 50 - $ 60/bale  is going rate.

    Charolais bulls on club calf cows to raise a smoke

    My daughter has been bugging me to breed her cow(s) and attempt to get a smoke colored calf.  In our very short history in this project, I have witnessed personally, and been told on here by others, that there is merit to only having the dam or the sire be clubby bred with the other being a...

    I think cow has lumpy jaw? Ship now or 3 months after hopefully calving?

    Thanks to all who replied, this site is an awesome source of info and knowledge sharing!  The bottle I used says 10 day withdrawal, Pen-Aqueous agripharm.  I am going to mention to my vet the reduced rate sodium iodine treatment.  Also will give a shot of Oxytet.  I can supplement feed and add...

    I think cow has lumpy jaw? Ship now or 3 months after hopefully calving?

    Had the vet out today to look at our almost 3 yr old Angus cow.  She has a lump on her jaw about 8-12 inches long, and 2-4 inches wide.  On the lower part of the lump, the hair is worn off, and it is scabby but not draining.  The vet poked the lump numerous times and locations with a syringe to...

    Feeding Baled Corn Stalks

    In drought years, testing them for nitrate levels is a good management decision to prevent/avoid nitrate poisoning.

    Need Help Finishing a Steer

    I am very much a novice in this area, but if I needed gain, I would not be feeding depth charge.  It is filler, not calories correct?  I could be all wrong, but that is my first thought.

    Important features on a stock trailer

    I second the aluminum, your depreciation (actual ownership cost) will be lower vs. steel as residual value will be much higher.  Also ties up high and down low on outside of trailer for when you may jackpot at a show and fit outside.  High ties keep heads up obviously, low ties let them eat. ...

    Foot Root

    Last year I had a cow come down with foot rot.  The hoof trimmer happened to be there and scraped much of the rotten tissue off.  Then I had a gallon jug of a green anti fungal liquid that I picked up at the farm store for ring worm.  It also mentioned foot rot on the label.  I treated her with...

    Beet Pulp vs Beet Pulp pellets

    Our experience has been the pellets are cheaper, less bulky vs the shreds.  However, the extruding/pelleting/or crumbling process to produce the pellets generates heat and the sugar gets burnt during this process due to the heat and our calves do not consume as much vs. the shreds.  You can...

    1941 Grand Champion Steer

    One of the most curious/interesting/unique sets of photos I have seen is at a friends house.  His wife had the Champion angus (maybe overall, not sure) steer at the Royal in the mid 50's in one photo.  On another wall was their son with a many time Iowa champion Chi steer about 1980/1981.  Talk...
