    Which size box scraper to buy?

    I am in the process of getting a little Kubota 3200 to use for cleaning out around the barn and maintaining the gravel driveway. The tractor is 54 inches wide and has 30 hp. Should I get the 60 inch box scraper or the 72 inch? The box scraper I am looking at is the Land Pride scraper/grader...

    Toe and heal shoes cause navicular???

    I was at the diner the other day with a shoer, he was saying that he doesn't like using toe and heal shoes because they increase the chance of the horse going navicular. I've always used toe and heal... I did have one horse go navicular... what do you guys think, is there any truth to this???

    Montana Weaver Ranch horses

    Thanks for the PM FH. Sounds like a sale I better go take a look at. Too bad I have to wait until fall. :( Finding a good young gelding is never easy.

    Montana Weaver Ranch horses

    Any body know anything about the Weaver ranch in Montana? They sell their horses at a sale in Great Falls each September. Their bloodlines look like foundation blood, which I love. Any info would be appreciated.

    catching steers?

    Rope em and drag em to the smaller pen. Or just let em get a little hungry until they go into the smaller area to get the food you left out for them. Or just shoot em and call the butcher. :?

    The Derby

    I agree, i had to rewind it and watch him again. I was glad the owners paid him so much respect for the way he raced the race. Very cool!

    steers vs. heifers...

    Mine will be bought and sold right there at Three Forks, Montana. Will this effect me? What are heifers going for right now? Will the heifers put on as much weight?

    steers vs. heifers...

    I spoke with the Yard Manager down at the Three Forks (Three Forks, Mt.) auction yard, I asked him to find me a dozen feeder steers to put out on a little pasture I have right by my house. He said I could probably turn a better profit with heifers than I could with steers. I'm only planning on...

    The Derby

    That race was the best I have seen in years. The jockey was so excited it made it even better. My one complaint-- the trainer (the guy on crutches) seemed like a total jerk, what's up with him?

    Spurs on a horse

    Horses use those "spurs" for fighting, just like chickens do. In Mexico they sharpen them to give the horses an advantage. :D
