Am glad I can be of help.

I have never done two boxes on one ground. Always separate grounds. Hard enough to keep a good ground in our area as it is. Hopefully others will have more experience with it and can offer some advice

Thank you so much for your kind support!

So, the only cost to you is the price of the cows? Are they on your own land or the partners?

I live in Wakiso. As far as land I run my few cows with my grandfathers on 150 acres. I am hoping that he will allow me to rent his farm when he decides to sell out but nothing is certain. If I were allowed to rent it, it has 2 barns with working corrals. One of my main questions is does it pay to rent land? Or is it too difficult to make a profit…Read more

I was in a debate with myself about the very same idea last year and I decided to get into the beef industry by buying bred cows.

Jersey will give 48-50lbs a day but they get upset really…Read more

What are you looking for? Are you looking for longevity or a good milker? What kind of facility do you have. Is there someone around there that will pay a premium for higher quality milk? What do you have for land? What are your feed costs? Sorry for all the questions but it helps to make the best choice.

I take the two little ones 2 days ago, raining bad, and then it got cold . Now I have one that is sick, great. I’m doing all i know to make this little one come through. Thanks for your help!

You’ll need antibiotics but you really should call the Vet to get the best scrip for the most common bacteria. You can administer the shot yourself. Our large animal vet will listen to me on the phone and give me his best diagnosis based upon what I’m telling him if I can’t afford to bring the calf up there. Get the calf’s temp. rectally, monitor…Read more
