    Denny, fertilizer ?

    Uncle Harry used to say a bag of Phosphate for every calf shipped off the place. Made no sense to me as a kid but did the math when I was selling crop products, he weren't too far off..............

    A tale of bull to cow ratio and the results

    Wow! Pushin the envelope on a few things there, and bravo to them for being able to take those chances. I had to break a few rules last year managing my yearling heifers. I got away with it. But, I gotta keep reminding myself, it's just like blastin over the speed limit going into town. Been...

    barb wire bracket

    Good idea but needs to be improved. I don't like the nail as a pin. I can see that popping off some how ending up in a rumen. Make it a much longer pin or tether it ($$$) some how? I like HT smooth wire.....

    It's time for a new barn.

    I have seen one of these and like the idea of the fabric roof and solid wall construction. They are bright, clear span and simple and will add to the aesthetics of our yard. Problem is, the company (in Edmonton AB), no longer makes them any more. Anybody know of who may still fabricate these? Or...

    Hey Jody, Can you show or explain the bottom hinge a little more? I've got lots of dead straight spruce and 2, 10 foot gaps that need gates. These would look cool.

    Foals

    Well..............................That was humbling! Most of your points are ones we've been thinking about already. Time, commitment, safety etc. Realistically I 'spose, at our age (crowding 60), quite probably the window of opportunity for doing this has passed. As a friend said, "I don't...

    Foals

    So here's the deal. My wife and I are planning on buying two weanling foals this fall from a breeder/trainer whose judgement I trust. I asked him if a guy like me, (no horse experience but around livestock/cattle all my life), could train these horses to just take us out and check cows. No...

    My bad habit

    I do it EXACTLY the same except instead of injecting it, it's in a glass beside me and it's not butter shots its Jameson whiskey and I find strip loins work better than ham. But other than that it's the identical procedure.
