Farm for Lease Well, after 2 years of leasing, my people who wrote a lease/purchase option with me in 2010, are unable to buy my small farm.  So, once they're out and the place is all ready for new people, it will be available again.  It's located about 25 minutes from the Michigan State...

By "Beltie" are you referring to a Belted Galloway, Dutch Belted, BueLingo or ??? 

From your question I'm assuming you didn't buy them in a state that requires brand papers to accompany the cattle.  That's too bad because it would give you a start to find the origin or to track the 2 or 3 owners who branded them.  Where did the seller get them?  Sale barn?  Go back to them and...

Horses' teeth continue to grow all throughout their lives.  If they were continual grazers, like they were during the evolutionary period, they would wear them down as needed.  However, in their "civilized" state, they just don't grind enough to keep the teeth ground properly.  Therefore, the...

I'm a longtime Mac user.  Maybe I can help you...

I'm thinking that according to Packer & Stockyards, people selling livestock at public auction have to have checks sent out no later than 30 days.  It's the law, I think.  And the sale management has to be bonded.  No such thing as "not having enough money because bills have to be paid".  Not...

I haven't been on for a while but this thread made me respond:  When I worked on the ranch in WY, there was a cow that needed to be brought in as she was getting ready to calve.  She had always been relatively gentle considering she was part of a herd of 1000 cows.  She hid behind some buckbrush...

Seems neurological.  Did the goat get into a head butting match with a larger/stronger goat that could have torqued its neck? 

Good one, FB.  I speak a fair amount of Spanish and the problem with translating word by word is that you lose the total meaning that comes through when the whole phrase is translated.  Just like in English. That said, there are several goofs in the copy.  "Mas Caliente" really means 'hotter'...

There's quite a few old, senile folks here!

Looks like they sprinkled in some basic Spanish to go along with his name.  Not very sophisticated, I suppose, but sort of creative.  Btw, not the best English, either, in the small print description on the left side of the flyer.  Oh, well, .....I'm a little "anal" when it comes to language and...

Many of the herding breeds have a genetic makeup that makes them susceptible to a very bad/lethal reaction to Ivermectin.  My Aussie didn't have it but many others do.  If a dog reacts badly, it frequently results in death.  If I were going to try to use Ivermectin based products on my herding...

Well, anything's possible but hacker/spammers have been hacking e.address books for a very long time.  They get into a person's address book, take it for their own (well, sort of ....it's more technical than that), then use those addresses to send out their own spam.  People open them because...

Jill, I haven't gotten any strange posts, either.  Wonder if you've been hacked through SP?  That's something, if true, the mods could look at.

I helped on a ranch in Cody, WY, when they had their Vet spay with that device.  It sort of looks like a crochet hook/needle except instead of a hook end, it has a big eye and it's longer, obviously, than a real crochet hook.  They put 'em in the chute and used one arm in the rectum and the...

I love my Mac, too!  Have been on the Mac OS since 1992!  I have had, over the years, to use PC's for businesses and am proficient with them.  But, if you want trouble free, get a Mac!  I would, perhaps, check your virus software to be sure you haven't gotten "infected" somewhere along the way. ...

Ok, I've got my notebook ....now get yours.  The calving problems don't occur due to muscle mass, it occurs due to the width of the hips where the considerable muscle will hang.  Hip lock - no fun!

Well, if they were the same age and posed the same way, I'd still say it's probably Pied.  I've seen lots and lots of them.  An aunt of the ranch owner I worked for in WY used Pied bulls on her Shorties.  I was fascinated with them and did lots of research and visited the Pied displays at Denver...
