I have not had any prblem with hair. We rinse and put under fans. I think it hasn't burnt any hair off at all. Not like with the corn.

We get a brewers grain from a microbrewery. It is mainly barley and my heifers and steers have blossomed from it. It is still hot when we get it and I didn't have to cook barley for them this year.They eat it like it is candy. They also get a commercial feed as well but it has helped cut our...

Love the Hereford on top of the steer planet logo!!!!!!

We had the same problem...cow didn't cleanse, vet said to wait and see. Twelve days later had another one. Claimed it but would not let it nurse. Luckily it was two bull calves. We ended up bottle feeding the second twin and he turned into a really nice 4-H steer. It happens. Blessed are the...

Epic Adventure This Is It Mr. Awesome

I have also seen OCV...Official calfhood vaccines. Took me a while to figure that one out too. Googled it and that is what came up.

I heard this morning on the news that everyone will have to pay 10% of their income to pay for their insurance. If you make $40,000 you will pay $4000. I don't know about you all but I don't pay that now and I think it is Bull!!!!!

We do some at a couple of days old. The others I wait incase they are bull worthy and we show them as bull calves. Those ones are 6-9 months old when they are castrated. We bought a california bander last year and it is FANTASTIC!!!!!!!

We check 3 times a day. At the AM feeding, when I get home from work and at the PM feeding. We feed grain at dusk once a day to the brood cows and we have not had an early morning birth in the last 4 years or so. I read about this in the Progressive Farmer mag and decided to try it one breeding...

I have used corn oil only. I has done wonders for us. With the new rules and regs regarding food animals consuming animal proteins, I would be hesitant to use something that might have had other animal proteins in it or cooked in it. I personally wouldn't use it and corn oil isn't that expensive...

I have a couple. Born in May, June, and Jan. Also more due this Jan coming. Most of them have been shown. I am in MD.

We use a mixture of 1/3 kleen sheen,1/3 vetrolin( horse linamint) and 1/3 water. We rinse steers and hefs then spray our mixture on then brush and put under fans. We do this daily and the hair grows and pops really well!!!

We didn't make it this year but we are planning to go to Indianapolis next year. It is my eldest sons last year as a Hereford Jr and we want to at least show at one of the jr national shows before he is to old. My youngest doesn't want to do it unless he is there with him.

I like the pour-ons best, Cydectin etc. No fuss and it keeps flies away for about 7 days.

Driver, Your in MD right? Check out Stone Ridge Manor across the border in PA. Star Orlando is a really nice bull and he put a lot of thickness on his calves. Saw a newborn on the morning of one of thier sales and its butt was NICE!!!!!

Lost, Harpers Island and just watched Housewives of New Jersey(some catty Bs) very entertaining. Comedies like the Big Bang Theory, How I met your Mother etc.

We wean gradually. They are already in the creep by about 3 weeks old. When we wean they get to nurse once a day for about 3 days then every other day for a bout 3 days or so then every 2 days and usually the cows quit coming around by then. We gradually wean mainly for the cows comfort. I hate...

Do you give the melatonin for 7 days straight or just on day 7  before the show?
