Sorry about the spelling Or I should say the typing.

Thanks for posting this video about the storm. I.n so grateful we had ethe sense to get our cattle home, before it started. I guess that one thing about getting older. I remember March of 1966 and try not to take the risk anymore.

Congratulations to Don Helberg. I was lucky to work with his dad Glen in North Platte in the early to mid 90's. taught me alot of the finer points about the business and no more honest man to be found anywhere. Often think I should have stayed there in the real estate and auction business than...

Sad to hear of Mr Williams passing, but he leaves a great legacy of an entirely new concept of handling cattle. My hat is off to you Bed Williams for a moment of gratitude.

Good question cowman, been wondering also. Located in east central bennet Co, about 12 miles nothe of nebraska line. Have about 50-75 pairs that I would consider putting out

thanks for the good pictures again, soapweed, we look forward to them here on the flats. Gotta take the time to learn to post. Hard to teach an old dog new tricks especially a stubborn one.

Good pictures Soap, Looks like the efficient calving crew is getting the job well done, Looking at your fall cows, make a guy wonder if that is when I should calve to whole bunch, after the cold nasty weather we had o the 7th when we started with a band. Got a hired hand and dont think we...

I have fed hay millet (white wonder variety) for several years with good results. I would have the nitrates tested for safety sake. Also protein might have a tendency to be a little low also. Cow love it, they will leave good alfalfa for it, so process a bale orf it and turn around and...

Good looking heifers and the two yr. olds are really looking good too. Must be that good ole sandhill meadow hay and the cake. Have missed your pictures, good to see you are posting again. $1.00 a day for your calves is a bargain the way grain has come up Costing me about 40 cents just for the...

I have had the same situation this week also Soapweed, Had to run the one pasture through, Used the same set-up with panels as you. Had some good neighbors we recruited tohelp us. The vet thinks I probably have some cows that are carriers. I used 10cc Baytril 100, and 5 cc of Banimine on...

All those rations sound ok to me. Mine are getting 1000lbs ground 1st and 2nd cutting alfalfa (mixed 50-50 when ground) 1500 lbs cane silage and 4 lbs corn per head per day. and keep feed in the bunds all day. these cold nights they sure eat it up. What do you think? they have a great haircoat

I HAVE HEARD ABOUT TWO SANDHILLS RANCHERS i KNOW THAT SENT SAMPLE OF THE SOAPWEED IN AND IT TESTED IN THE HIGH 20"S FOR PROTEIN. NOT BAD HUH?

Nice looking rifle. I have one in 45 Long colt.. Nice gun too.oes a mean job on rattlesnakes

MS Yost did write Pinncale Jake also. He was her dad.

I'VE TRIED THIS AND FIND THAT IF YOU "CONDITION" THE COWS BY STARTING FEEDING IN THE LATE AFTERNOON A COUPLE OF WEEKS AHEAD OF CALVING IT MAKE QUITE A DIFFERENCE. i SWITCH TO GROUND HAY AT CALVING AND FEED IN BUNKS TO CUT DOWN ON WASTE AND DISEASE. THERE IS JUST MY WIFE AND I AND I CHECK...
