    Best Electric Fence Charger - GOT ONE. Another question about ground rods...

    We sell Speedrite (same as Stayfix), but Gallagher are also a good fencer. The biggest issue is Joules of output and grounding. You can run a lot of fence on a solar setup as long as you have enough panel. For summer in our country you need at least 10W per Joule. In winter, 20 is better. You...

    Gas Powered T-Post Driver

    We are looking at these too and would welcome any comments. So far the Skidril one looks like it has an option to handle T posts all the way up to 4". We have a similar pounder to Big Muddy, but we have a lot of ground where we can't get at things with a tractor (or even a quad). Others...

    Global Roundtable for Sustainable Beef

    This is an interesting discussion. I am not sure the GRSB certification is any more or less than any other certification at this point, although I can certainly see it being driven ahead by various industry players and maybe even becoming the "standard". For the record we are certified in Canada...

    Feeding cows

    We moved cows this weekend on a windy but relatively warm day. The Pied Piper Method worked with the bale deck and a wheel of DDGS. But I was not brave enough to drive across here (I know I can make it down...). Had to get my helper. It was warm enough to take off my gloves and get a couple of...

    Good Sunday Mornin'

    BMR - you and yours are certainly in our thoughts and prayers. As SG pointed out fatherhood done right in all the best senses of the word is a pretty precious gift and I know your father would be rightfully proud. (heavenly and earthly). Thoughts and Prayers.

    Calves in the ring October 2018

    The yard staff must be pretty good with how quietly they come into the ring and that is a very nice set of calves. We just sold ours out of the yard this week to a verified program. Weighed when we boostered and will bring them in in about another week, sort and load out.

    Some pics from the last 2 weeks...

    A lot better than the 12" of snow in October. The grain guys were pretty stressed out for September/October. We had more rain in 48 hours in September than we had all year. Had some greenfeed down for 6 weeks. Crazy fall.

    Some pics from the last 2 weeks...

    We pulled cows off 1000 acre pasture we just started renting last year... Dad is 81 and decided he wanted to ride. He put 15+ miles on that day, but left the big riding for me. Hard to believe how much 2 horses saves. A few days this summer I put on 30+ miles when I was alone. The next day we...
