Cattle are on pasture for HOPEFULLY more than 3 months this year (we fed dry hay 9 months last year cause of drought).
Winter ( at least 7 months of the year) we feed 5x5 grass hay bales. Grass is a mixture, not even sure what is all in there, we are...
My dad had a heifer go for a c-section this spring. He brought it to the clinic so the vet didn't have to come to the farm...still cost nearly $500 (about an hours work) We're in SE Manitoba.
Hello, I just found backyardherds and joined today....I'm a young farmer in MB, raised on a small beef farm, now starting my own farm. I've got 2 horses, 2 cats, 2 dogs, 2 tamworth pigs, 23 hens, 90 chickens for butchering, 15 cows with calves, and 3 yearling heifers.
You could also get someone who is familiar with cattle to look at it/ or a picture of it and they would be able to guess. Some people are pretty good at it.
