I would recommend talking with a good estate planner/tax attorney there are ways to do it to prevent taxes killing you when something happens to your Grandparents or your parents. Pre-planning is the smart thing to do for sure. We started working with a tax attorney 10 years ago and slowly but...

We have purchased the XR500 have found it works great chute side, the problem I am having is getting the information off the scale into a spreadsheet. Anyone have any experience tips to help. We use AIMS cattle management software and getting the information into AIMS is another can of worms...

The hubby went to check things at the farm this morning trying to beat the rain, he sent me these photos from his cell phone. God was sure painting some pretty pictures this morning! I think his side kick Gabby like the rainbow. Have a blessed day. gizmom

We have been using it for several years, we also get it free but have to supply the containers then pick them up once a week. We sent a sample for testing to Auburn I would be happy to share the information if I can find it. We like it have had no issues with any sick cattle. With our heat...

I found this information on the NCBA website! for anyone that want to donate. I have been asking people if they have heard about the blizzard the reply is usually yea I heard it was a bad storm (on the weather channel) no one had heard about the devastating losses for ranchers in the path of...

Well I had the day right but the date wrong, The flush was done today. We got 32 eggs out of the 065/0035 mating and 18 eggs out of the A47/807J mating. So needless to say we felt we had a very good flush. Gizmom

Well the deed is done we bred the 065 cow to FA and the A47 cow to Juneau. Dr. Hinshaw will be here on the 19th to do the flush. Gizmom

Oldblood Thanks for the input that is the kind of information I am looking for, I know FA has alot of sons working but haven't seen or heard much about his daughters. I am looking for longivity and easy fleshing both bulls seem to have this but I also want to keep daughters working in the...
