Thanks to everyone who replied to my questions about post drivers. I ended up ordering a new medium grade King Hitter yesterday. The top of the line driver from them was a little too pricy for my liking and I believe I can get along just fine with this one. The Shaver looked like a good unit but...

My ears perk up anytime yall are talking about minerals or grazing techniques/methods. Clay

I am getting ready to start a big fenceing project on my pastures and would like to buy a good post driver. I don't really know much about drivers nor do I know which ones are good and which ones aren't. I would like to get some of you folks input on the good, the bad, and the ugly of these...

I too thought that his bulls were selling good. The auction preview was the first time that I had seen Kit Pharo. I realize that he is sort of a controversial fellow to some but he looks like he has got it together to me. I thought that his cattle (cows) on that preview/interview looked good,and...

The bull calf with the turned under front feet that I posted about last week has finally straghtened out his legs now. He has been walking good now for about three days. He's nursing really well also. He looks like everything will be just fine. I meant to post back sooner but my wife and I have...

Good evening to all fellow rancher.net friends. I don't post often but I do visit this site every evening and have found that there are alot of very knowledgable cattle people on this web page. The problem that I have ran into is a day old bull calf with his feet turned under. This is the first...

Jersey, My mineral still comes in the Vigortone bag and also has Summitville Grain (my feed store) on the tag. Summitville Grain Ultra Mag. Under feeding directions it says to feed Summitville Grain Ultra Mag to cattle at all times, so forth and so on then at the bottom it says Manufactured for...

They can do stupid things sometimes. Daddy had one get a hooked shaped piece that is on the knotter of an old JD square baler hooked in one of her eye sockets about two ywaers ago. When we found her, it looked like she had been hung up on it for a few of hours. She then freed herself in a not so...

Thanks Soap! Looks like a good trailer and 24 ft is a good size, not to large and not to small. Most all of the stock trailers around here are pipe sided Gooseneck brands. Have a good afternoon, and keep the pics coming of that cowmans heaven that you call home. Clay

Soap, If you don't mind me asking, what brand and what size is the trailer hooked to your white Ford in the pics? It is a good looking trailer and I was just curious about it. Thanks, Clay

Empty, you hit the nail on the head. Great analogy! Clay

Nortexsuck, I hate to be the one to break the news to you but you aren't the only rancher in the world who doesn't grab for the government money. I may be alot of things but a hypocrite is not one of them. Like you, the government hand outs haven't built my operation either. I wouldn't...

Maybe if all these "government workers", you know, the folks that the government pays to shack up in apartment complexes and make babies, were required by law to all eat a meal of beef just once a day the benefits would be twofold. Demand for beef would go up, which would benefit the beef...

Thanks Katrina, I have no idea what it would be worth. Not many people fool with ear corn here anymore. Thanks again, Clay

For the guys that fool with ear corn, what is the price of a bushel of ear corn in your area? I am trying to figure out what it cost per ton to mix some feed for some weaned calves, and need to know the value of the ear corn. Thanks for any info that you may be able to provide, Clay
