Jenny, Welcome. I have owned Dexters for a little over a year now and they have repaced my beloved Jerseys as my favorite breed of cattle. I hope you enjoy and...
Welcome Jenny. Congrats on your dexter girls. I am picking up another cow on Sunday, which will put my Dexter count to 2 cows, 1 steer. Mom has one cow due in ...
I wanted to write and ask you to pray for our small community in SC. Last Saturday there was a man who killed my neighbor and local lifelong peach farmer in...

My cows have been using the pond, and I filled a Sterlite large container as a backup, that they didn't use until recently. The pond is getting scummy, and...
I wash them out every week or so with a sprayer. They also make an algecide that you can put in the water I think, but I have never tried it. charles ...
I would try the plugs first, make it easier to clean them out. Denise WA In a message dated 7/3/2009 7:02:05 A.M. Pacific Standard Time, glass71909@......

Well, I'd like to say I remember to put in the vinegar, but really, what I do is dump the darn thing once a week, and give it a good shot with the sprayer. ...
I used a bathtub for a water trough. I plugged the drain with a simple wooden plug. Drive it in and when it is wet it will swell making a very tight fit....
I use both the tuffstuff and the rubbermaid. I have extra tanks which I always need for changing out a trough when it gets too much algae growth in it. I...
Algaecides are OK for swimming but not for drinking. Sheep and cattle need plain, pure water. Around here people let their animals drink from irrigation...
Do your animals drink more or less of the acidified water? If they drink less in hot weather, algae in the water tank could be the least of your worries. C....
I don't know what harm algae does to cattle in drinking water. When I was a kid, the forestry tower near us had a well which always had an oak bucket full of...

I bought a heifer and she has a heifer calf but they are both unfriendly, the baby is 6 months old now. She still nurses, they just wander the pasture and...
With nervous or unfriendly cattle, I pen them periodically. Either in a barn lot or a section of the barn. Then I hang around. A lot. I don't try to touch them...
Can you keep them penned up in a smaller place to feed them? The calf will be the one to get friendly. If you feed any kind of creep feed, the cubes, offer her...
I have this little hen, small I think a bantam breed but I don't remember what she is. She lays these cute little eggs. Anyway she has taken over a corner...
This was exactly my thoughts, I have found that when I keep either goats or sheep in my back yard and I'm out there several times a day, pretty soon they will...
If it's any consolance, my girl is a yearling, and had been out to pasture with very little contact with people, and still nursing when I picked her up. We...

just had a thought.. food grade hydrogen peroxide is a good alkaline additive to water to kill nasty bugs, and will no doubt keep algae from thriving.. it is...
David, We started praying the moment we read the article on Fox news. We will continue to lift you and the whole community up in prayer for protection,...
