WildRoseBeef- Yup, you are right! :D So, at what age do they have their permanent color?

She is 75% Guernsey, so I was thinking that she won't be black or become black. I hope that she will keep the color! Its too pretty!

Bella finally gave birth today!!! 7 days past her due date!! Its a girl! WOOT!!! Belinda being born. I am quite surprised at Belinda's color! She is gray with some dark brown and white markings! And she is so soft! But Bella is very very protective of her baby. Bella had charged at...

Its been a long time since I have posted here. Been busy busy. Bella is getting ready to calve either today or tomorrow! She is due tomorrow! November- He is huge! Pancake was butchered and sold in the last week of March as we were running low on hay and hay prices were too high...

Well, it has been a while since I had posted here. And a lot have happened since then. An brief rundown- The 20 acre land next to us that the owner had let me use for the cows got sold(I have been wanting to buy for years, but had no money), so I had to get everything off by March 14, and that...

Thanks Royd. The steers are almost 14 months old, and I know that they are not ready to be butchered until 23 months, but Pancake(one of the steers) is a pain in the neck. He bawls non stop when he is hungry, and and its the most skiddish one, and he have torn my chicken coop 3 times! I was so...

Ok, thanks, will do!

Depending how willing he is able to do his job. ;) My friend had a 1OO% lowline angus bull that had bred standard Angus, Lowline Angus, standard Hereford, standard Jerseys, standard Guernseys, standard Red Poll, and my Standard Angus/Guernsey cross cow. He was the only bull on the farm, and all...

Our holstein steers will be old enough soon to butchered/sold, and I do not want to raise holsteins again as they have caused more trouble than they are worth! Plus they eat too much! So, I am looking other smaller breeds to be for the next batch of steer raising. Do Jersey steers do better on...

No, I have not heard of Oil of Oregano. I do have some in the garden, that is if the hogs have not eaten the entire bed... Won't know until spring... Snowstorm is over, and the sun is out!!!

Tomorrow I will milk out that quarter for the last time, and inject the rest of vitamin D that I have in that quarter. Vitamin D is suppose to help fight against the infection, so my hope is that it will also help heal the mammary gland too. Then when she freshens, I will see if it had worked...

The last treatment I gave was a day apart. Injected on Sunday, and repeated on Monday. I dislike using drugs, but it was the only way to rid of the issue, but did not work. :he

Everyone is doing fine, they are fat and sazzy. :D I have been battling mastitis in Bella's right back quarter. It keeps coming back every time I treat her. Its very frustrating. It started back in July 15, and treated her with penicillin, then it was gone right away, but the production in...

Yup, got them from her as she was getting out of them. She sold me all of her AGH breeding stock. You mean registration papers? Olive Hill gave the notice to AGHA the transfer of Ownership of the hogs to me in April 15 and I did not get any papers or anything until June or July!

Oh, I remember now why I did not ship any last year. Found that all the testing and paperwork to do, and how much it cost. Unless there is an easier and better way to ship them....

:welcome I got lots of help here too, and it looks that that you are getting some too! :) She looks nice to me, no idea what she could be, kinda new to cattle myself.

I got a green Family Farm & Home cap and cow bell for Christmas from sister #4 as she drew my name. But she did not think to get a collar to go with the bell..... So, got one after looking for it at 3 different stores! But I am glad that the collar fits after all that driving! Pictures taken...

Thanks everyone! neener92- Glad that I was able to help push you over to the Guernseys. :P I like them too, want to have a pure one someday.... Kay, time for a picture update on my gals- Maybelle will be 7 months old in a week!!!! Can't believe how fast time flies! She is in the pasture...

I can try, have not shipped piglets before, just a rooster to SC. It took the PO 24 hours to ship him from my hometown to SC! But The piglets can't leave their mothers until 6 weeks old. Then they can go wee wee all the way to your Ranch. ;) We can talk some more in pms if you want...

Hay! Yes, the parent stock are registered and can registered the piglets, and I will be selling them as breeders and feeders, depending on their quality. Here is the family picture of them.
