    LOL, the 2016's won't hit my "Sweet spot for buying" until 2022 ;-}

    What year is your current one? I'm thinking my next one will be a 2013. Heard lots of good things. I'm researching and the "Asian Transmission" is something I hadn't heard before.

    Spring Fling on the Desert

    I agree with doing your best to keep cows in. My comment about "He would be reminded he can fence cows out" has more to do with dealing with folks who have the attitude of "Move them 2 seconds ago". You likely are dealing with it the best way. I have a habit of making people I don't want to talk...

    Calving and goats

    This reminded me of my day today. I was checking some late calvers. Way at he end of the pasture I could see a yellow "foot" coming out of a cow. As I got closer, I found a small yellow leaf had landed precisely at the right spot on the cows hind end. Sure looked like a foot from distance.

    Spring Fling on the Desert

    You have more diplomacy than I. I'd tell my new neighbor he can fence cows out if he doesn't like the occasional "Jailbreak"

    You might be a cow junkie

    I wouldn't mind running my cows next to yours during breeding season.

    Supreme vertical mixer

    I would agree with that. Even with the wet feed we have, I prefer pretty chopped hay or straw

    Supreme vertical mixer

    I have a used Twin Auger we have run for about 10 years. Need to have a Sleeve kit put in. We have mixed a variety of hay and wet processors waste during that time. I would say most issues were operator error in that time. Overall, pretty happy with it. But, I haven't used anything else to compare

    Finding positions in the ranching world

    Get a chance to talk to the auction yard owners and see if they know of anyone large enough to use your services... I am almost thinking you might need to hang your wn shingle out and do services for a number of operations.

    Finding positions in the ranching world

    Where are you posting your ads? I think your position would take a fairly large operation to be able to pay for your services. You might start by finding where the larger outfits are and asking if they know of anyone looking for the services you provide. Best of luck!

    Bulls....

    We have 3 sets of calves a year. It is part of our direct marketing so that we can have beef available year round (I actually buy from a guy who Calves in Feb for a 4th set). The point is, even with that much spread out work, the motivated breeders we like are still troublesome when they aren't...

    Sharing a Viewpoint.

    I smile as I remember one of the initial meetings I went to where Premise ID and such were being discussed. The moderators/panel were trying really hard to show that not much would need changed. There was a lot more being said that I don't remember. At a point I was able to ask a question of...

    Trouble with calf table

    Your calf table has what is called a friction lock. It isn't grabbing. I haven't used enough products with Friction locks, but her people describing them not holding. Usually happens when they get wet.

    Trouble with calf table

    Picture of the center squeeze latch would help. I'm not as familiar with Foremost, I'm betting Denny is right.. How old is it?

    Rubbing my toe in the dirt

    I think calves will go down through the year as will fats. Last year, I bypassed any selling in November and December that I could and held until late January i think. May of been February.. It payed off. We feed cattle for Tyson out on Byproducts. Grain prices are pretty irrelevant to me as...
