Hello everyone, since I am staying at my parents’ home tonight to be closer than usual to all of that delightful calving activity, I have a little extra time on my hands to relay a funny mishap that I had yesterday. Aside from today the last week of calving has been accomplished with...

Hello MBINGSLEY7, I am not sure if all would agree with my advice but I would think 5 strand barbed wire fence evenly spaced would be more than sufficient. However, I assume you aren't cost-sharing your fence with any neighbors and are taking the full financial load yourself. In which case I...

Believe it or not that particular day a horse was my vehicle of choice. Blowing snow with 35mph wind can be as painful to your eyes at idle or in motion. Also, one must dress accordingly for whatever job is required at the moment.

If you didn't live so far away you could just buy ours. I, like per, prefer the challenge. I have discovered that I can cover more ground quicker and more efficiently with my ranger and shepherds hook (for safety). The cage was invaluable when peach blossom was tagging everything but I don't...

Not that I was any kind of bully in high school but I think I would have pushed you into a locker a few times for being an ultra-nerd. I would have justified it to myself that I was helping you deal with society better in the future. At any rate, I suppose it is a good thing that we are a...

Hello AC, I just wanted to let you know that I sent a personal message.

It's a new era for the spearhead/green valley ranches as I have acquired a new ipad for calving/cattle records. Earlier this fall I determined that there must be an easier way of keeping records than a mead notebook so I am converting to digital. My intention is to take my ipad/keyboard combo...

Has anyone on this forum ever used satellite imagery to determine surveying for fence line length, acres/pasture, etc? I broke out the plat maps to determine a few of these questions and I was contemplating an easier method. I am not sure any of these features can be ascertained by the basic...

Currently I have a cow that is down due to a uterine prolapse. I have grain, hay and water in close proximity and I am hoping that in a few days she will get up. However, I have seen this a dozen times and more often than not... They don't get up. I am tempted to take my loader and a few...

I have a question for the people who unroll their net-wrapped round bales. Due to the abnormally dry year we had in 2012 and the abundantly precipitous year we've had this year, we have a plethora of sunflower filled round bales. Consequently with this recent cold spell, I decided now would be...
