30 days prior, animals up to a year of age 1cc/100lbs, over a year of age 1cc/150lbs is what I was told

We used multimin last spring on the ylg hfrs prior to AIing. Looks like it helped with conception, but we are not quite done getting AI calves from the hfrs yet so not sure on conception rate. Several people in this area that used it seemed to be positive on MM and plan on using it again. Had...

I have probably missed this subject on here, but other than moving the calving season to April and May, what is everyone's secret weapon when it comes to saving ears on newborn calves during cold spells? Anyone tried the ear muffs and ear savers?

Last year it was so wet and muddy that we tried fenceline weaning and it worked very well. We put up 5 new barbed wires (as tight as we could get them) on the fence between the cows and calves. We also ran a hotwire on both sides as well. Planning on doing the same again in a couple of weeks.

anyone tried one of the vermeer tm 1200 or 1400 models yet? no conditioner on them so the hay is layed out fairly flat to cure. With no conditioner rollers to pull they take way less hp to operate. They sound interesting to me.

Thinking about starting to feed DDG's to the cows as supplement along with the hay they are getting. Anyone have much expierence with feeding DDG's, how many pounds did you feed?

don't have wheel weights, I agree that would be a good option. Just looking to see how many people run radials with fluid or how many people have heard that fluid defeats the purpose of a radial. Just a topic for discussion.

Mother in law came to visit this evening, long story short the party is rather subdued. I don't care for the 18 either.

Let's face it folks, the 5,24,48 are running 1,2,3 in points, the forth team member just can't drive as well, or can't communicate what he needs to get the car better. As far as I am concerned it's all on Jr's shoulders. The 48 in the wall????? Don't let jealousy get to you like that. A...

Yup, as much as I love to hunt, I hate rifle deer season. In a week it will be alot calmer.

after lookin at the scenery I didn't think it could get any better than that, then you say whiskey and cigars in the mornin.

While wandering around the grounds in Bassett during the ranch expo I saw a woman that I just knew I should know but I couldn't place her. This happens to me all the time. After looking through your pictures it dawned on me it was Peach. I always enjoy looking at your pics.

Just bought 10 rolls this week for $67.60 and that was from a private dealer, farm store listed it at $70 on sale.

Tell your son thank you for serving.
