I don’t think he knows that.. it doesn’t make a difference.. his Bull is called DONNY.. he is on the farm about 2 years. He started with blank angus cows and heifers ❤ I guess he don’t understand he is turning his whole herd into 100% South Poll after 4yrs ❤ line breeding is pretty easy Greg Judy does it all the time ❤❤

      I would definitely be open to a trade. I don’t think I know enough to line breed beyond a second generation. There are quite a few negatives that could manifest. I do plan on keeping towards the South Poll breed. They have done very well for me thus far.

      Judy line breeds❤ you can be sure enough that every generation of bulls will make your herd great 👍 just sayin line breeding when you take the 3rd generation bull to be your herd bull, now you will have such a diversity selection it won’t be line breeding anymore ❤ the likelihood of mating with its mother is such a low % ❤ if you have 10 heifers to start❤ by the time 3 yr comes around you should have some really good 👍 bulls to select from ❤ By 5 to 6 yrs you should have some nice ones❤ I wouldn’t wait to introduce another bull genectically speaking ❤ Simmental Bull breed ❤ I wouldn’t put it with any heifers ❤ then if you have a chance with someone already did this ❤ just take out your 3 to 4 South Poll Bulls for one year ❤crossing your herd with the Semmi/South Poll Bull will make the new calf heifers crop about 70%… when you put your 100% South Poll Bulls .. then the new heifers with DNA will be around 87% that’s good enough for South Poll Breed❤ what you think Greg Judy did , where you think he got those macho bulls from❤ his employees said it in a video❤ I think he already crossed or created a Dexter cross ❤putting 10 Dexter Bulls amongst 200 cows/ heifers❤ would guarantee a smaller frame after all that’s cash 💰 in his pocket❤ then that means all that DNA would mean you pick only the best keeping back for breeding heifers next year ❤

    With as tall and thick as it grows the field actually creates a mini rain forest affect. I planted SS years ago during a drought year what I noticed was if you walked into the field at 11am your clothes would get wet from the dew droplets and the ground was damp thus the plants were basically self watering from the dew running down the stalks and with how fast it grows it will choke off anything that cannot out pace it’s incredibly growth rate that’s probably why your soybeans and annual grasses didn’t make it.

    Awesome haul! I would love to have these in my back yard. Always try and cut mushroom off when you can. It preserves the immune system of the mycelium that the mushrooms grow out of. Ripping them off like that is akin to tearing a scab off your body and leaving the open wound susceptible to infection.

    If you treat mama cows the same as mares are treated, then things might work out better. Give these mama cows a private birthing area. Consider them as equal to horses (which us humans do NOT eat ...as a rule). Consider them more than $$$. I'm turning vegetarian myself. Cows are just as valuable a creature as horses are, they are just as beautiful, and I'm more and more convinced that we should NOT be eating them. We can get our "protein" elsewhere. Yes yes I know what God says.... But keep this in mind....In the Beginning, God gave us every "herb yielding seed, and every tree that bears fruit yielding seed..." (see Genesis). Only after the Flood, did God say we could eat "meat". Think about it....Prior to the Flood, when God created the Universe, mankind, and the animal kingdom.....we were to be caretakers of the animal kingdom, friends of the animals, no fear between us and the animals.

  • @LRyan-li9wr
    @LRyan-li9wr 5 місяців тому

    I think most of us get emotional in these situations, myself included. We tend to "love" animals. It's difficult to hear about "butchering", or getting weight on a cow for more money. Whereas on the opposite side of the spectrum, cows are very affectionate animals, who can develop a major bond with humans, just like dogs and other pets. Turning vegetarian might be a good idea for myself. Besides, I hear it's healthier anyway.

  • @LRyan-li9wr
    @LRyan-li9wr 5 місяців тому

    I was interested and decided to research this subject.....Cows may reject their calves for a variety of reasons, including a failure to recognize the calf, a medical problem with the calf, or a lack of experience with giving birth. This is more common in heifers, who have less experience and a lower level of oxytocin released. The mama cow may be confused or uncertain. The smell and taste of birth fluids drives maternal behavior, and if this process is interrupted, it increases the likelihood of mis-mothering. One farmer's trick is to pour grain over the calf's back when it is first born, to get the mother to lick the calf. This cleaning should help the cow's maternal instincts to kick in. But one of the most effective ways to minimize your cow rejecting its calf is to plan ahead for the calving. Handle your cow regularly so you can handle her effectively after she has given birth. Prepare a PRIVATE birthing location for her. Cows will more readily bond with their calves if allowed this privacy. Young heifers may be intimidated by older heifers. Smear some of the birthing fluids across the cow's mouth and nose to stimulate her mothering instincts.

They were able to get the strange foal accepted in a short time and she readily nursed it. I think it took a few hours.
