Yes we solve a lot of Farmall tractor problems with questions. This is off topic but I know I'll get an answer here. I was sitting in the barm waiting for the water trough to fill and I noticed the spring calves frolicking and then a heifer showed all signs of "bulling" and began jumping a bull calf, repeating the behaviuour several times. Is this because the cow is in estrogen and the calf is picking up these hormones through the milk supply,is it playing or is it actual coming in heat at two months plus??? I can't believe the calf is old enough for this to be natural to its body. The heifer calf was born 22 07 03, the bull calf 24 07 03. The rest of the story is that the bull calf seemed interested...I've never seen this in such young animals before but there is always something to learn. Question Two: A neighbour stated that twin calves born to his cow were male and female and that either one or the other will be sterile, most likely the bull calf..where the heck did that come from??? Finally I finished bringing in the second cut, had it done in big rounds and brought it in with the B250 and loader..sure beats small squares for time, but I like the small squares come December, easy to throw down the shutte and you don't need to start the tractor every day to feed. I am looking forward to your answers to the cattle questions ....Mike in Exeter Ontario

Many times, as a small boy, I would cross the fence behind the house my grandparents lived in and walk down the turn row to where granddaddy would be cultivati
