Thanks to everyone who replied to my questions about post drivers. I ended up ordering a new medium grade King Hitter yesterday. The top of the line driver from them was a little too pricy for my liking and I believe I can get along just fine with this one. The Shaver looked like a good unit but...

My ears perk up anytime yall are talking about minerals or grazing techniques/methods. Clay

I am getting ready to start a big fenceing project on my pastures and would like to buy a good post driver. I don't really know much about drivers nor do I know which ones are good and which ones aren't. I would like to get some of you folks input on the good, the bad, and the ugly of these...

I too thought that his bulls were selling good. The auction preview was the first time that I had seen Kit Pharo. I realize that he is sort of a controversial fellow to some but he looks like he has got it together to me. I thought that his cattle (cows) on that preview/interview looked good,and...

The bull calf with the turned under front feet that I posted about last week has finally straghtened out his legs now. He has been walking good now for about three days. He's nursing really well also. He looks like everything will be just fine. I meant to post back sooner but my wife and I have...

Good evening to all fellow rancher.net friends. I don't post often but I do visit this site every evening and have found that there are alot of very knowledgable cattle people on this web page. The problem that I have ran into is a day old bull calf with his feet turned under. This is the first...

Jersey, My mineral still comes in the Vigortone bag and also has Summitville Grain (my feed store) on the tag. Summitville Grain Ultra Mag. Under feeding directions it says to feed Summitville Grain Ultra Mag to cattle at all times, so forth and so on then at the bottom it says Manufactured for...

They can do stupid things sometimes. Daddy had one get a hooked shaped piece that is on the knotter of an old JD square baler hooked in one of her eye sockets about two ywaers ago. When we found her, it looked like she had been hung up on it for a few of hours. She then freed herself in a not so...

Thanks Soap! Looks like a good trailer and 24 ft is a good size, not to large and not to small. Most all of the stock trailers around here are pipe sided Gooseneck brands. Have a good afternoon, and keep the pics coming of that cowmans heaven that you call home. Clay

Soap, If you don't mind me asking, what brand and what size is the trailer hooked to your white Ford in the pics? It is a good looking trailer and I was just curious about it. Thanks, Clay

Empty, you hit the nail on the head. Great analogy! Clay

Nortexsuck, I hate to be the one to break the news to you but you aren't the only rancher in the world who doesn't grab for the government money. I may be alot of things but a hypocrite is not one of them. Like you, the government hand outs haven't built my operation either. I wouldn't...

Maybe if all these "government workers", you know, the folks that the government pays to shack up in apartment complexes and make babies, were required by law to all eat a meal of beef just once a day the benefits would be twofold. Demand for beef would go up, which would benefit the beef...

Thanks Katrina, I have no idea what it would be worth. Not many people fool with ear corn here anymore. Thanks again, Clay

For the guys that fool with ear corn, what is the price of a bushel of ear corn in your area? I am trying to figure out what it cost per ton to mix some feed for some weaned calves, and need to know the value of the ear corn. Thanks for any info that you may be able to provide, Clay

I try to run one cow per two acres. I could probably go one on one and a half but I don't like to run out of grass if it comes a dry spell. It has been extremely dry here this year and most folks are feeding a little hay, but I haven't had to start yet. We are finally starting to get a little...

Hello fellow ranchers, I visit this wonderful site daily but have posted only a time or two. I was wondering what systems some of you guys and gals use to number your cows and calves for record keeping purposes. I have just started using the BEEF fIRM software from the University of Tennessee...

Rusty, you asked last week where I am located. I am in Franklin County near Cowan TN. I intended to reply sooner but I have been extremely busy. I have a herd of about 70 cows with 15 being registered black Angus heifers and the rest are mixed but mostly black crosses with a few old Herefords...

Rusty, the lady who was killed by the two dogs was a friend of my aunts. That crap happened about a half mile from where my herd is located. The lady walked about two miles every evening for exercise and that evening two mongrels got after her. The police seem to think that she was trying to get...
