I agree the slaughter market has little effect on the higher end horses but it is a means of disposing of a horse that is no longer there. Here in Maine we have experienced 3 marginal hay years back...

I agree with roho, but some people bought old and burned out pleasure horses to "put out to pasture" only to send them. The emotional owners though they sent their pet to a happy retirement home and...

Same thing here in Maine, I wish PETA would post some pictures of a few emaciated old horses that are suffering in old age because their teeth are so bad they can't eat properly. They never show...

I just acquired some Serama hatching eggs and have set them in my incubator. I assume they are too small to go in with the rest of my laying flock and I have not been able to find much info on...

I did a similar thing with fir, pine and poplar trees I have cleared. I get three or 4 years out of them. I must confess I have replaced some of them with the same thing again just because the...

I'm Assuming the one you shot didn't come back so that sounds like a good solution to me.

If you could catch them in a pen you could offer to sell them back to the owner before you shot them.

The one I have is a northern tool type of saw. I do not like the table, and the blade guides are not very good. A friend of Mine has a Cabela's and it is wonderful. I have several Cabela's...

I have a meat bandsaw that we use while butchering animals. I got it at a lawn sale. It will cut frozen meat, even a little easier than thawed meat. It is quite a job to clean although no harder...

I sold mine this year for $2.00 lb hanging weight plus butchering. My problem is who I sell it to not how much I charge.

Not to take over but I just got in from a similar experience.

Just bought a bull calf 300# or so

Got it home and decided to put it in the pasture. My wife said you should put it in a box stall...

Heifer is a galloway and the Bull is a dutch belted. The heifer is a little over a year older than the bull. We have some galloway/holstein cross beef animals that are excellent, but I want to...

I have a young (2 month) Bull I would like to breed with my yearling heifer. At what age will the bull be able to git-r-done? Can I just turn them out together and let nature run its course, or...

I would not even consider keeping a bull of any breed for beef, unless you are intending to breed with it.

I have stopped using poultry netting at all anymore. It not only deforms but after a year or so I have problems with the wires breaking and birds getting out. I have gone to welded wire for my...

We have raised many beef animals, from beef breeds to dairy bull calves. Almost any of them will be fine with a simple 3 sided lean to with the open side facing south. We have severe winters with...

I usually price my steers so that my meat is free. If I have 2 steers and keep one for myself and sell one, I sell that one for the amount I have in both of them together. I have never had a...
