They do not eat much during winter ...... only a large round bale of hay, every day. : )
Say, my trucks have wheels on them, well, most of them........
The new duramax is a nice truck. Had it a week and not gotten a chance to drive it yet though. : )
LOL, that is why it's best to have cattle on many acres of pasture!
I like Angus cattle, but then I would. : )
"Well I hope the reason he was banned was because of a post on another thread because I found him funny, not insulting, rude or offensive. I am just a bit surprised that so many posters are allowed to get away with really offensive ugly material and insults and yet our "clown" was banned.
I hope I don't get "banned" by voicing my thoughts! : )"
We love cowtown and hope you'll reconsider.
In case I didnt word it quite right, I agree. Please give him another chance! : D
The first cattle I owned were Angus but have since had several breeds. With my Angus there was some calving troubles and I lost several cows and calves. Finally settled with Charolais and have been pleased with the results.
have you done the treasure hunt yet with the kids?
Well if bad feelings occur with my neighbor (my Brother-In-Law) we have problems!
Family Feud, but no shootin-irons allowed......... : )
How much land do they require to graze? We were thinking about a couple. Do they have to be grain fed for meat?
Consantina wire works too, when subtlety fails ;~D
oh my goodness Cav, are those trucks all yours, or is Hair putting us all on?
We call it compound wire around here. Some houses have it. Me, I want a block fence. One of those that you bust beer bottles in with the concrete at the top before it hardens.
I think it was a minimum of three acres for each cow-calf pair. From experience I would say more acres is better. Not sure about feeding one grain for slaughter as I sell mine at weaning time, 6 months of age. I get my beef at the butcher shop, no way I could slaughter one I raise......... : )
LOL! : )
Those are not my trucks but I do have several.....
(they followed me home, behind a tow truck) : )
Oh, ok. I don't think I could get attatched to a cow though. I was hoping I could sell a few a year to pay taxes. That's what the owner of my stable does. That's still a lot of land. Maybe that's why she feeds her, ah...she cows feed.
So what do you do with you male cows, if you don't sell them for meat?
Thanks! They are a large breed of cattle and were originally used as draft animals in France.
