I think its been a couple years since I posted on Ranchers. Been spending all my spare time reading and somewhat trying to defend the surge of government and groups taking of private property rights. Its exhausting! I still see a few familiar names on here. Of course one common name "Northern...

Sean Garrity will be the guest on "Voices of Montana" radio show today. Either tune in to a station that carries it or log on to http://www.northernbroadcasting.com/Talk/tabid/514/Default.aspx If you are not familiar with the APF, it is an organization formed by the World Wildlife Fund. The...

Wondering about record keeping for cow calf operations. I have been using CHAPS program from NDSU. It is alright but not very user friendly. Has anyone just used a simple spreadsheet or a database program to do their record keeping? Which would be a better a spreadsheet or a database...

I can't believe nobody is talking about this on Ranchers. http://www.kansascity.com/2010/11/12/2426790/new-wildlife-refuge-set-in-flint.html I know there are ranchers on here that must live in or near this.

The Nation BLM Director Robert Abbey will be in Malta, MT on September 16. Our County Commissioners invited him and he accepted the invite. We need to have a good turn out of people. This our chance to let a top official know how we feel. If you live in Montana spread the word or if have a...

Tom Vilsack together with Ken Salazar appoints 18 members to the new "Wildlife and Hunting Heritage Conservation Council" but not one member from the agriculture sector. Read his quote about wildlife habitat and water resources. These words are a cover for taking of private rights including...

Went to meeting last night trying to see what can be done to prevent a government take over and/or wild buffalo. 6 million acres in Northeast Montana. Whether it is declared a Nat' monument, or Fish and Game have a wild buffalo herd, or the American Prairie Foundation (World Wildlife Fund) buys...

Is anybody checking into this program? What is your view of it? It looks like a lot of paper work. I can't tell whether your chances are better at getting in if you are already doing many of the practices or if you haven't done anything. This one looks like it focuses on smaller producers.

I'm not very good with the camera or posting them, but I'll try to post a few of the bulls. http://www.ranchers.net/photopost/showphoto.php/photo/6393 I would like to post more but not sure if it this works. May have to double click on pictures.

Not sure how this happened, but its not good.

Lets just say I don't want to look at any sires that has EXT in them. So what pedigrees do you suggest that would be considered "teat" and udder improvers. Also, if there is a known cow with poor teat and udder quality in the pedigree such as "Miss Torpedo Teat 04" :wink: Is there more of...

As I was driving tonight about 5:30, the whole northern sky lit up, near the ground there was a huge orange glow. It was big, whatever it was. I almost thought I could see a smoke trail also. I believe it had to be in Canada, either Sask. or Alberta, not sure how far away it was, but it was...

Genex has a rating for foot angle. Would you say that a shallow angle, would be a flatter footed animal? I am not personally familiar with the Alliance 6595, but the owners say he had very good feet, when I asked about some sons and grandsons. Genex rates this bull off the chart with a shallow...

Watching TV last night, I saw a Wendy's Commercial which says its hamburgers are better because their hamburger has not been frozen. I really can't say for myself if it would be better since most of the meat I eat has been frozen. But I think it would be safer if it has been frozen. This...

With private leases getting so high, what is the norm on most leases for the cost of fence repair and construction? I am sure the rancher usually always does the work. Most of these I feel the landlord should reimburse the rancher for labor and materials. Is this the norm?

What are the chances that computer manufactures' program the computers to have problems after a certain time? It never fails after the warranty goes off the problems start. Or I have had a glitch in the computer and then in a few days I start getting special e-mails from Gateway with their...

I really wonder how they go about picking halftime entertainment. I would like to put in my two bits for next years show. Anything is better than that crap. Never paid any attention to what network carried the game.

What is your favorite Farm or Ranch Magazine? I quit Successfull Farming completely and Farm journal for a while. I just felt much of the articles and ads never pertained to my area. All they talked about was corn and more corn and planters and more planters. I guess I should start reading...
