Maybe it would just be easier to grow Ducks :shock:

In my area you could grass feed or grain as there are Manitobans allready producing grass fed product. It all boils down to lowest cost of production, doesn't matter where on Earth you produce the product. If grain prices tank cattle feeders will feed grain or cheap grain by products.Local...

:oops: took my pills and feel better now Merry Christmas everyone :)

8) I can explain the Canadian Cattle Cycle for you . Well in the last 10 years we've had 5 poor years followed with 5 %&^#$ poor years with a projection of 5 more really #$%^# poor years until the cycle turns around :!: I laugh at all these economists who project a year long recesssion that...

Limos have them too. And when you come across a set of live twins usually one of those guys came the hard way. How often do you find a new calf whos raddling a little bit. Can't say whether it happens any more now then when dad ran Blacks or the Chars :-)

Its been a few since guys made money doing the bred heifer thing. Bred heifers a year from now might be the ticket N.R.

The Boys in Ottawa needed a break. After all they had been at work for a full 2 weeks :roll: No Parliment is still better than one run by the 3 stooges :x

My new neighbors ( the guys with the horse and buggys) are from your area Aaron. They have spent the last two years buying up every old 3 titted swing bagged nut case cow in the area. Is that the way they opperated in your country :???: Bet you can't guess whos pasture they end up in when they...

:roll: Yea go figer Our Banks are the most stable of the G8 We haven't run a Deficit in years. Our unemployment is still very low and the papers are still full of help wanted, not to mention business windows. Yet U.S.A. dollars are the ones eveybody wants. Must be the Trillions of $ that your...

That just means your Senate has no clout because the deal went through anyway. Hell if we had to rely on our Senate for progress you would still have to take the Stagecoach from Winnipeg to Calgary and our GM employees would be cutting trees for the wheels :roll:

Most of if not all the grain guys got rid of their cattle a few years ago around here. 80% of cow disspersals here are guys in the bussiness for 20 years or more. Guess that just means not as many American built loader tractors balers and those shiney stock trailers will be sold :roll: With...

The cull rate will be higher on store bought so play that against cash flow. That being said I have had a few duds from my best cows :roll: But I also have a couple of cows that have several daughters in the herd all good producers. More money will be spent on replacement bulls but lately those...

Feed test the hay to see what you got first. probiblily 4lbs of barley would do the trick if you already have the bunks and don't mind pailing once a day.

I believe thats what makes 450wht calves worth $1.80. Local trucker moved some pairs for me on the weekend. He said at a 3 herd cow disspersal this week the top cow brought $700 and she went for slaughter :o . Lots of good cows at this sale but only 30% WENT BACK TO FARMS. It will be...

Well I guess everybodys problems will go away in a few days when the Obama's start moving there furniture into their NEW PAD :!: :lol: :lol:

Thats the way calves should be priced. Never saw the logic in 4wht calves worth $600 and 6wht worth $650 or when it really gets silly 450lbs @ $1.80 for grass the same day 900lbs@ $.96. These markets always send many mixed messages leaving producers scatching there heads :?

NASA weather satilites have recorded a cooling trend puting our world temps at the same temps from 1978. I live 4 miles from one of the greatest methane producers in the province. Its called the Big Grass Marsh. To bad humans keep blaming cows for there problems, Denile is such an evil mindset...

Went to drive my friends truck for a few days hauling grain to a terminal. He usually leaves the tanks empty when he parks it but they where full when I jumped in :shock: He got worried that they where going to start rationing diesel at the pumps. I thought he was joking but the next day I...
