I'm hoping that someone here can offer advice on my new addition. When we went out to feed the cows this morning, we found that 7 had become 8. This was very unexpected, as when she came, we were told that IF she were pregnant, she would deliver at the end of January. Apparently no-one told her. Now we've got one cow, her new baby (unknown) her last years heifer, and 5 steers. Do they need to be kept apart? When do we castrate, if he's a male? Any and all advice welcome....
Thanks,
Margo
Calf help?
I hope someone here can help, but I'm certain that someone in the Farm Life forum can: Kathleen or nearly anyone else there. This forum's called "Poultry and Livestock" but there aren't many livestock questions here... not that there shouldn't be... just seems a little more like a "pets" forum here.
Thanks!! Missed that one:) BTW, they ARE pets, at least to us......
