    I'm not sure which is 'weirder'?

    That I've dropped all vaccinations these past few years.
    Or that I'm infrared treating water prior to foliar feeding grass.
    Or that this year's calves haven't required deworming yet.

    Why are you infrared treating water Say?

    I read about 'EZ' water in John Kempf's book and decided to see if there's anything for plant growth myself.

    I'd love to be the owner of the cow with the calf at foot. She is a cracker with length and depth.

    Was a pity to let the bullocks in to graze it. 🙂

    Keep a good eye on them for bloat. The only time I've ever had a issue with bloat in cattle was at this time of the year when clover would be growing well.

    make sure they are not hungry going in - they wont gorge on it if they have full bellies.

    They don't like them in grant specs. I prefer to avoid them too. Harder agitate and older tank will start to get dangerous. They fail like slats do underneath.

    The extra storage for little extra cost
    A collapse passage would be a disaster

    Looks like an English Longhorn. The cow at the right of the tree in the background really looks like one.
    Where was that?
