    High elevation pap tested bulls

We run our cattle at 7700 feet and just go up. Trying to find private treaty instead of auction---less stress going private treaty! There...

    Yearling prices for spring

    Thanks for your input...pretty well what I was thinking I'd hear :-) I wonder with the terrible drought in CA if folks there will flood the market selling off their herds? Talked to a few people there that say its as bad as its ever been back there :-(

    Yearling prices for spring

    Anyone have an idea what yearling steers will be going for in a few months? We are considering purchasing some to run for the summer---always been a cow/calf operation but might be picking up some extra summer pasture nearby. Thanks in advance!

    Shakopee Minnesota

    Wow! Small world for sure! I grew up in the most northern part of the NW side of town. Does your family still live on the family farm? I know of quite a few folks in agriculture still there in the area. My parents taught school and coached in Waseca starting in 1973. My dad coached many...

    Shakopee Minnesota

    Denny, I have lots of family in Brainerd area and in Staples, and Brainerd is where we picked up 11 Belgians to use for feeding hay in 2004...from an old retired forest supervisor. Very nice old guy...the Thesing family. I grew up in Waseca, MN, south of you about 3 1/2 hours...the dirt can't...

    Share Cattle

    We lease 2 different herds while running our own. We do the leases the same way...the cattle owner gets a third of 85% of the calves. The remaining 15% is built in for death loss and if we have a good year it's basically a bonus. They provide the bulls and decide if they will preplace the cows...

    what to feed the fall works crew

    Because I am helping with our fall work and our kitchen is 7 miles from the corrals I do a bunch of prepping the day before. Make a huge amount of mashed potatoes, put in casserole dish topped with lots of cheese and cooked bacon, and then the day of the work pull out of fridge so it warms to...

    Wyoming Wind

    Update: we heard the local cops have been given so much flack for not doing their job that arrests will be made shortly :lol: ...I guess it was difficult for them to know what to charge them with :roll: ...and my husband gave the cops some vital info regarding that evening and that had them...

    Wyoming Wind

    Thank you much for continued prayers...Mike is hanging in there. Baby steps of improvement: taken off the paralytic drugs but hard to wean a body from all the sedating drugs. He has been dealing with pneumonia in the left lung as you can't physically cough when put in a paralytic state. And he...

    Kola is right

    Us too...we are at 7730 and never had a case in our county unless the horse or person got it visiting somewhere else. We don't vaccinate for it. Where you at? I figure WY or CO with elevation? We are in western WY

    Prayers please for a good cowboy

    Thanks for all your prayers...Mike (our friend) is hanging in there. Still in induced coma, dealing with brain swelling, some fluid on his lungs, and trying to stabilize his blood pressure. But he has been responding to loud noises in his coma. If he can make it to Monday, he may pull through...

    Prayers please for a good cowboy

    Hey y'all...it's been a super long time since I last posted but I am on here often reading about everyone's adventures and enjoying all the photos. I'm taking a few minutes this night to ask you all to send out healing prayers for a very good friend and neighbor of ours. He is a young 31 year...

    Some late haying pics and Dec 17th snowstorm

    We rented a JD 6140D. Enough horsepower to run our round baler...the only thing we didn't like on it was that the hydraulics were slow. And I really liked the cost effectiveness of paying a rent bill than a whole tractor payment :) We think we might try a Kubota tractor...we have a dealer who we...

    Some late haying pics and Dec 17th snowstorm

    It's been awhile since I've posted; our two year old son keeps us busy! Here are a few late haying season pics (August). We had a decent hay crop even though we were in a drought like many of you. We have a week of rainy weather mid July that saved us and a relatively nice fall/early winter has...
