Joe Phelps: One Marine's Story

Joe in his room dedicated to Marine Corps memorabilia.

In January of 1969, twenty-two year old Joe Robert Phelps, of Louisville, Kentucky received a letter from the United States government informing him that the U.S. military needed his assistance.  He was one of many to receive draft notices that year.  Young Joe showed up at the army recruitment station just as those fellows had taken a break.  A large strapping guy next door invited Joe into his office for a cup of coffee while he waited.  The man was a Marine.  Before the day was over, so was Joe.

Learn to Use Body Condition Scores as Indicators of Herd Health

 
Early winter is an optimum time to prepare your spring-calving herd for reproductive success. Adequate nutrition from about 50 to 80 days prior to calving is critical to maximizing a cow’s ability to rebreed and maintain a 365-day calving interval. A cow that gets inadequate nutrition or is thin at calving and breeding will take longer to come into heat and will require more services to conceive.
