    Baldy bull market?

    Its kind of like horse industry. Your name is everything. At least with horses you can show them to prove performance but with cattle buyers are basically taking word of the producer. It would be very tough and expensive to get established in my area with any type of purebred outfit. Not sure...

    Need advice on starting in Cattle

    There is a guy on utube called just a few acres and he has hundreds of videos. Hopefully you can find the ones that he is talking about profit and what to expect. I for see farmers markets and direct marketing of your beef and other stuff. In my area of Alberta what you are trying to do with...

In Alberta they sell made in Canada squeeze chute. Whole thing is made in south America and sort of assembled here. Name Brand's...

    Are things really that bad in America?

    The Nick Johnson utube videos are very pro Wyoming. Been a while since watched the WY video's but I think riverton was worst place which compared to most other States looked like paradise. Alberta is nothing like it used to be . 2008 things really started going down hill for us. A far off...

    Are things really that bad in America?

    There are these travel shows on u tube. Nick Johnson is one but there are lots of them. I haven't been in the States for probably 25 years and I watch these travel shows and I don't even recognize what I'm seeing. Honestly its hard to believe. Few places like Iowa, Wyoming and eastern M.T. still...

    When did you start tagging your cows?

    Years ago if u tagged some people would make fun of you. Call you ear ear tag outfit. Idea being you should know all your 200 some black cows without needing a number. I started tagging when traceability kicked in after b.s.e. I think you gain when you sell pairs. Buyers know they are a real...

    Hunting Elk

    I used to guide hunters. I'm not sure if I like industry or not. Accessing good land to go hunting is basically impossible if your from town and don't have deep pockets. I'm talking about southern Alberta. Basically no rifle ranges and so much hassle and expense. If a young person from town...

    Bale deck

    The deckplate that moves for your arm linkage seems to get bent on the falcans. I dont know how guys do it? Falcons seem a bit heavier built overall than dewezz and ive seen dewezz bent up. Both look like great decks so for me it would probably be about price and who is closest dealer I'm still...

    Swamp hay

    Trucking rates are through the roof. $5 a kilometer or fifty dollars a short ton. Then MT super b loads have to be lighter again because of their weight laws. Then exchange on dollar. Facebook is just full of scammers. Feels like everybody is in a panic. I guess this years of drought is...
