Sooo, I did ok on my calves this spring, my finger got a little itchy while I was eBaying and I ended up with a Nikon D50 with 28-80mm Nikkor AF-S lens and a 70mm - 300mm AF-S lens at a decent price. I was just curious if anyone had used either of those lens and what they're like, or if I...

...and sometimes you're the ball that gets whacked out of the park, bouncing off a T600 only to end up under the metal cleats of a D8 Cat. <chuckle> The day started out pretty good, with me waking up to this little heifer: So I decided it would be a good day to haul some of the bales that...

Just a quick warning to watch what you enclose your tractor in for the winter. I've used carpeting for decades, but last night, 20 minutes after I shut the tractor down, I saw flames shooting up over the tractor cab. Good thing I caught when I did, otherwise the tractor would be a write-off...

Anyone remember a couple years back when I first joined, I did a little balance sheet showing packer profits? I got beat up pretty bad by the "people that know", stating that I was obviously off my rocker when I came up with the gross margin that packers had to be getting from each carcass. To...

In another thread, there was a comment posted from a trade magazine about how stocking rates couldn't be improved on in North America, so I figured I'd post my results from some changes I'd made around here. One of the more "controversial" things I've done is I've quit taking my second cut of...

I posted this pic back about 3 years ago and said that I wasn't real sure about her. You replied and said she'd have a home at your place. Well, its likely a good thing that she stuck around. She's turning into a heckuva cow. She sprung a pile of rib and I'm not real sure where all the milk...

Randy Kaiser from Kaiser's Celtic Cattle (http://www.kaiserscelticcattle.com/) blew on his little horn a couple years back, and like the rat that I am, I decided to follow him off the cliff and give Welsh Black bulls a try around here. I'm only about 1/4 done, but to put it simply: I am...

Some early pics of the 2009 Dodge RAM 1500: http://jalopnik.com/344125/2009-dodge-ram-1500 There will be more when the official release is done this Sunday at the Detroit Auto Show. I personally like the beer cooler in the back seat, but they can keep the rest of the Barbie Girl interior. Rod

The neighbor has me putting up his oats as greenfeed, and its been years since I did it last. Can someone tell me what percentage moisture content is considered dry? Don't want it spoiling on him. Rod

It never fails. The sun is a shinin'. The birds are a chirpin'. The sky has never been so blue. And the Diamond S Cattle Company's haybine is sitting in front of the shop, tore down into a hundred different pieces. At least one grease and oil covered cowboy sitting in front of it, clutching...

Anyone have any idea on how much a Landis #1 Harness machine is worth in working condition? Its missing the foot pedal drive, but by using the hand crank my uncle churned out many bridles and harnesses on that old machine. I believe its a 1902 model, but I'm not close to shop to verify that...

I really thought we'd seen the last of that white crap... The worst thing is that yesterday it was 80F and the grass was really starting to come on. Rod

Macon, I hope advertising another website here is ok. I didn't see anything in the rules against it, but if there is please let me know. For those of us fools who feel that Shorthorns are well and truly the best critters walking, I think we should get a little more involved in Heterosis.com...

Since its probably going to get lost in the other thread, I'm going to pose a few questions to either one of you: You have a livestock market on a given day with two major packers, each of whom have 20,000 head/day capacity. You have 5 smaller packers, one at 2500 head/day, one at 1500...
