My 2012 Ford F350 gas pulling 10 cows in a steel trailer would get about 9 mpg but I buy my fuel for $1 a gallon less. Just not a lot of difference in any of them.
What authority does Vilsack have to set up another check off and not have a referendum for three years? Does this mean he plans to manage our money? Or is this a government tax on our cattle business? I know I sound negative but I don't trust the government one bit.
FH, I'd say if they can hedge a profit in them then go ahead and buy them. If not sell the corn and buy puts. If corn should increase a little then they would gain. If not they only lost their futures money and they can sit in front of the fireplace in January and take a nap. Sometimes it is...
I wouldn't touch it. In any market whether it be cattle, grain or the stock market you can tell when it is reaching the top when lots of folks who have limited experience in the field want to spend big bucks to get into it. Many times they will lose their shirt. You admit you lack experience...

I have a 6000 series tractor and there are two wires that hang down underneath the tractor that plug into each other. Sometimes weeds or brush will pull them apart and unplug them. When that happens the tractor won't move until you plug them back in again. Then the reverser works fine.
Really great looking cattle and those little guys are a husky bunch, You should be real proud of those cattle. They are so slick and shiny, I assume they lose their winter hair a little later. Mine are looking pretty ragged right now but in a while they will lose that winter hair and really...
