    Long Term Effects of Blood Bath in Fed Cattle

    Did any of you read the WSJ link? We all gripe about futures traders, but are we really ready to do without the board? That's what is being proposed, the way I read the article - no more contracts after October 2017. Am I reading that wrong? True that paper cattle traders can wreck our markets...

    Bale Grazing

    Welcome to Ranchers.net - interesting plan. Location, cow size, and expected number of feeding days would probably help members give more accurate advice because of the differences in cow maintenance requirements based on size and environment. Having a nutritionist fine-tune your plan is always...

    Long Term Effects of Blood Bath in Fed Cattle

    I guess everyone holding calves or with naked yearlings still turned out should take stock of your sack, because looks to me like it's going to be a summer in which we'll really have to nut-up to stay long without some protection. Poignant words from Cassie Fish yesterday: "...Thanks to the...

    Meat As Cancerous As Cigarettes - WHO

    Mike, you haven't been completely honest with people, have you? You would have everyone believe that you're a Charolais breeder, when it's quite obvious that you're actually some sort of detective. :lol2: I see that the N(W)CBA - the National (Wealthy) Cattlemen's Beef Association - has...

    I can't for the life of me figure out why we aren't seeing mass resignations from federal law enforcement officers. How long can they go on looking the other way on so many issues?

    They're probably doing important stuff like planning their conventions.

    Headed to Texas

    H, you sure didn't give anybody much time to respond - LOL. You posted this Sunday night and I PM'd you early Monday morning. But, I guess that was too late, because you still haven't checked back in and read your PM's. You must be really busy, having lots of fun, or else they don't have...

    New Forum Software

    I just went back and read some of the old complaints from the last format change and actually had to laugh at some of them. But, I found this great quote and thought it was really appropriate. Ironically, it was posted exactly 10 years ago tomorrow: Isn't that still true? It's the people that...

    Leasing a Morton building ?

    Honestly, that was just NR's outlook on ranching - low input on the labor side and not doing the cow's job for her. Personally, I like the quote and don't think that anyone that relates it to ranching should find it offensive. That's kinda the way I am - if a cow has trouble calving around my...

    New Forum Software

    Disappointing to read some of these replies. I remember when Macon bought Ranchers.net and upgraded from the old tree-style format and some people griped like it was going to be the end of the world. Now, some people are griping because they want to go back to the version that they griped about...

    Typical, how liberals would like to deal with bullying

    I agree, FH. In fact, that bullying has been not only disappointing, but borders on being despicable. Tam is one of the best spokespersons we have for conservative values on Ranchers. I don't post much anymore, but frankly, there's no need. Almost everything I am thinking is posted by Tam...

    Happy New Year Rancher Friends

    Doing good, Dave. I've been a little scared of the calf deal this fall. I bought the highest-priced calves of my life last year, but got lucky and they worked, anyway. I don't think I'll tempt fate again this year. Sometimes it's smarter to do nothing.

    Happy New Year, Dave - and everyone else, too. Hope all of you have a prosperous - and more importantly, healthy - year ahead.

    Dear Oldtimer

    Can you provide some links, please? I've done a search and really can't find what you are alleging. I've only mentioned Powell in a few posts and the closest I can find to what you are alleging is when I posted that he was one of the ones that was trying to preserve his own legacy at the end of...
