Has anyone ever rigged up a tow bar to haul their pickup behind their tractor? My post driver has a hitch receiver on it and was looking into towing my truck, '02 F-250, behind. Any recommendations on what model?

I have a bad tie rod end on my JD 6310, do they make special wrenches for the tight clearance for this stupid thing? I don't have anything in my shop to get this apart. The main problem is something to fit onto the chrome part that would attach to the left side of this tie rod end. Left as...

I just wanted folks to know that nobody on this board did anything to turn me away. You may or may not have noticed I haven't been on here much for a while, I've been involved with a pretty active cattle related email group and haven't had as much time to check Ranchers.net.

I had a mostly hereford calf that was being bottle fed (didn't like his mom and shipped her) that I grafted onto a Piedmontese cow at my other job. They had been doing well for over a month. I was on light duty off the farm at one of my bosses other businesses before my ACL surgery, my...

I had an MRI Monday, diagnosed on Wednesday that I have a torn ACL, will be seeing the specialist tomorrow. It happened a month ago at my other job so workers comp is taking care of it. After a month of going to the Dr and PT they couldn't find what was wrong. They ordered an MRI, the...

This is the new rake at my other job. We can't seem to get it up high enough to be able to pull the rope by hand and hey it down. Any ideas?

Does anyone know where to buy a set of pelvic calipers? Came across them before, can't seem to find them now. Thanks

At what age can you safely put pullets in with full size laying hens?

Every once in a while, you come across something that makes you say "God Bless America!" I had the chance to shoot somebody's AR with a slide fire stock on it last night. For those who haven't seen it, the stock slides along the buffer tube and has a piece that goes up along the grip and over...

I went to check cows a little while ago and have a cow with symptoms I haven't seen before. She is staggering, one side of her face seems to have some paralysis, drooling. She calved out a few weeks ago, on just pasture. Called my vet, she is thinking Listeria and suggested a high dose of...

I had a cow in my own herd have her third calf this afternoon. I’ve always had problems with her wanting to push the calf away. Last year I brought them home and kept her tied up, eventually they went to a corral then back to pasture without problem. Tonight she wanted to recognize she had...

I have been behind the scenes of amending the law in Maine. Currently the law says livestock need access to shelter (man-made or natural) at all times. This obviously makes rotational grazing difficult. I am headed up to the capital tomorrow morning to attend the signing with the governor...

Hopefully this doesn't come up on the daily operation of the ranch, but for some in other countries, it does. I just watched this documentary on Netflix, I highly recommend taking the time to watch it. I am speechless, I can't imagine going through this. http://www.mugabeandthewhiteafrican.com/

Yes, they're cheap, but are we using more then we need to? My wife was talking to another horse person about vaccines. This other person happened to hear some recommendations from New Zealand. Here is an example of a tetanus protocol from NZ...

This is yet another regulation to make things difficult for those direct marketing their product. http://www.latimes.com/business/la-fi-1230-usda-meat-label-20101230,0,5807331.story

Just wondering if anyone here is into the "dark" side of country and has found Chris Knight? Never heard him on the radio, kinda got hooked on his video "It Ain't Easy Being Me" back when I was in college around 1998/1999. Got all my friends hooked as well. Been a fan since, but have never...
