    Hesston 1014 hydroswing

    I agree with cowwrangler on the air, and his cautionary note about oil spray is sound - The spray can penetrate skin. Back in the old 6600 days, we used hydraulic oil at the recommendation of the Hesston shop (my dad's farm is about 45 miles from the town of Hesston). We put unthinkable hours...

    Who Killed More Blacks?

    Well, there is a huge drop in violent crime beginning about 1 generation after abortion on demand became law. Reducing one set of violent crimes with the violence of abortion is not much of an improvement.

    The Republicans Bribed by the Clintons

    The way I remember it, trump threw the first elbow. The issue is conspire with Klintons - is that what you're alleging of Cruz? Topple? Isn't that what competitors do?

    "The MARC research herd is a pretty sorry bunch. Maybe they need me to breed limis for them." I've had marc sired calves on feed gain 5#/day, on 5# dm, at their 90 day weigh in (94 days I think). Wish I could get some of them there good cattle.

    Fertility is on everyone's list of most important traits for the brood cow. Marc data indicates the limmy cow is uniquely a lower fertility breed. Moreover, 150,000# of limmy cows in a pasture won't produce the calves 150,000# moderate black cows will. I don't care how much feed you have, #of...

    Brits not wanting US poultry

    The "yuck" factor is real even though practices may be acceptable by science. Trade deals start with acceptable scientific practices, but I can see it's more complicated.

    Brits not wanting US poultry

    They reject us beef because of implants yet there is a booming black market for implants in europe. I think this is more of the same, but I too have misgivings about poultry processing.

    More College Idiots

    A few years back my daughter Callie (4th grade then) came home with a list of vocabulary words and the instructions: "imagine you are a recent immigrant and use these words to make signs to protest low wages." When asked, the teacher sorta agreed with my objection and said she hadn't looked at...

    This ain't stupidity brah, the bad guys are in control of "education" in the US, and they are filthy commie rats. I don't think we can imagine what kind of trouble we are in.

    Japan tariff

    This response seems to indicate trump did the right thing pulling out of the tpp. If the japs want to learn trump tough, I hope trump doesn't play for evens.

    COF/Cattle Inventory Reports

    Govt numbers may have accidentally gotten it right. Many, if not most of the really big yards are full up as in not trying to place more. If corn stays pretty cheap, these placements can build a mountain of beef. Modern genetics can hold up, even to previously unbelievable weights. I think the...

    Kick in the sore spot

    About everybody needs a rain, but the dakotas really need a rain. So last night a big storm blew through south of kodaka, and all it left was a few sprinkles and a bunch of lightening fires. Hurts to see.

    Give you a pro tip: likely the best rancher in the Sandhills posts here as soapweed. Andddd he writes very well, anddd he's getting a little retired(ish). This forum archives some great tales (and protects him from copyright invasion). Someday, a bright publisher is going to cut a fat dealio...

    Tomorrow We Celebrate "Secessation"

    inescapably, the north committed genocide against the native peoples after the war of northern aggression. Thus, I can't believe the "civil war" was for the stated purpose of freeing slaves. I am well familiar with the error of transposing modern civility on history. I'm not suggesting that. I'm...

    Tomorrow We Celebrate "Secessation"

    Let me see if I get this story straight. The north has to destroy the south to save slaves from inhuman treatment -just before the north engaged in genocide against the Native American peoples of the west. Hmmmm? What is suggested as a noble purpose freeing slaves seems to be contradicted by...

    The Dark Side Of Abraham Lincoln

    I'm pretty sure mike didn't participate in the war against southern sovereignty. Trying to hold historical accounts to truthful constraints may be a fool's errand, but certainly the erosion of constitutional guarantees of liberty that Lincoln initiated have swelled to cost us all. The 10th...

    Heifer development

    Silver raises a good issue about baseline for mineral study - so good I got no answer. I've had cows in a several wide ranging places. Id guess shortgrass in mt and dakotas might be the strongest grass I've seen, and FH still realizes positive effects from mineral. Generally people have a very...
