For those interested in building for the future, we built a little 8 x 10 salt box shed, just like the ordinary building. Inside its completely different. We...
If I could build a completely new barn it would have a tub big enough to bathe a big dog, warm a chilled calf or lamb. A washing area with warm water and a...
In a message dated 11/1/2005 7:34:42 AM Eastern Standard Time, ... Hi, What a great idea, and not one I would ever think of myself . . . so glad you shared...
Sounds great to me. As to color and design, everybody has their own preferences; so why not do whatever it is that we like. The "outside potty" must be in...
Richard Henry posted this Dexter beef sight on his PDCA-blog, and I thought some of the information there was interesting, and different from what I've seen...
Cj. as for luxury, the barn stalls has a house furnace in that area, even though it is ducted into other barn, where we hold parties. The animal barn has 3...
Hi all I was told when we got these three cows and out little bull that the bull didn't get sexually active till he was about 18 months old. Well this little...
... old ... couldn't ... Tom, He's ready to do the job. Even large breed bulls are usually ready by that age. The cow was in heat, but not yet in standing...
One house we had years ago had a bathroom in the basement. When I came home from the farm I could go there to shower and change clothes. The dirty laundry...
He will find a way to reach. I breed a big Brangus cow to my Dexter bull and he has bred a Holstein. The Holstein went down into the irrigation ditch so he...

Hi All, Our vet recommends separating heifer calves from bull calves at 4 months of age. This is probably erring on the side of caution, but it's better to be...
Hey, I thought I was going to learn something new. I understand "drywell". Thanks for the clarification. By the by, isn't spelt checker greet. It lees us...

I am Tom's wife, Gina. He meant that Dooley was a bit confused and was being amorous with the wrong end. *G* ... From: dextercattleonly@yahoogroups.com ...
Evidently I must NOT have The FAST STUFF !!!! as my bulls DON'T MATURE UNTIL 18 MO. TO 2YRS. AND MY HEIFERS ARE NOT FERTILE UNTIL 20 - 22 MONTHS. I LEAVE THE...
Tom. I cannot resist a response. From personal experience, I would guess that it is not that your animals are not maturing at earlier ages, but that your herd...
... Same here, but I have a different take on it. I don't think that it is the herd bull won't breed a heifer in heat, I think it is the fact we are running...
