    I've done some reading here on YT and other websites, but I am curious what others experiences have been. -not silage bales- this would be DRY hay, less than 18% moisture. Made from field grass, some clover, some triticale, some other stuff When do you wrap it? Immediately after baling, or...

    How old is too old to castrate a bull calf?

    That's what I was thinking too. We use a bander, rubber rings on the other calves. I've never done the knife method.

    How old is too old to castrate a bull calf?

    Beef, yes. We don't have need of a bull at this time. All run together, year round herd.

    How old is too old to castrate a bull calf?

    I've got two bull calves, born early spring of 2025. About a year old. We never caught them, so they didn't get tagged or castrated. I'm wondering if it's now 'too late' to do that?

    Heifer to breed cow timeline question

They are pretty wild. I'm hoping that slows down their maturing. The bull is decent size, but not anything I...

    Heifer to breed cow timeline question

    beef cattle question: how long before a heifer calf will be breedable? Reason I ask is: we are building a small herd of Aueroch. The bull stays with the herd year-round. They are wild animals - living in the woods. Two heifer calves were born this March. I want to keep genetic diversity so this...
