Elections have consequences.

I understand, but I still don't get it. :wink:

What? Calves....feeding hay.....I don't get it?? :lol: :wink:

Per, you didn't direct your question at me, but I'd like to throw in my two cents. It did get really nasty around here last night. I talked to some folks from the Wichita area that were saying they had baseball/softball sized hail. There were some little tornadoes and some really strong...

That is an excellent analysis. A lot of people like to see things as they relate to grain for them to truly understand. :lol: :wink: :wink:

I guess I don't see things quite like you do? Your link to the Cattlerange website shows very average cattle that are at $1.25 and a year old, yet you think BRG's contacts are completely out of line for asking $1.35 for outstanding cattle that are 7-9 months old. The only thing that you've...

????????????????????????????????????

Well, wormers may work for you in your area, but they would never work in mine. :lol: Sorry.

Here's my take on it. Pneu-Dart is the brand I'd go with. They have a really neat system for metering the gun. Instead of having color-coded cartridges that determine how far you can be from your target, there is simply a dial on the gun that you set from 1 to 5 and always use the same size...

Yes, that's right. Overgrazing and mob grazing are complete and total opposites. It would scare me to mob graze in high and arid country, but there are people doing it. I know of some fellows in Mexico who wait up to two years to come back to a piece of ground. They don't mob near as dense...

Neil Dennis is a fantastic mob grazer. Ask him about his brix readings someday. He is pushing the envelope as hard as anybody, and is getting results second to none. The stuff that is happening on his place is truly amazing. Good eyes on the portable corral, too! I noticed years ago that...

My thought, too.

Yessir, there is a colossal misunderstanding going on here. 1000 acres would absolutely not hold 300,000 head. Where would those cattle be moved to next? The third of an acre thing only lasts for a few hours. That third of an acre will then be rested for anywhere for a few months up to a...

Wow!? Just when I thought I'd heard it all....... Sorry, balestabber, but that dog won't hunt. Are you honestly trying to say that a group of cattle that gets moved to fresh, waist high grass every day or so is in some way comparable to confined hog, turkey and cattle operations? Really...

Interestingly enough, there is a man in South Central Montana with the exact same rainfall as you(two dot land and livestock). He has increased his stocking rate by 225% over the past few years simply by increasing his stocking density and moving the herd around. His rainfall is the same as...

Yes, I agree. Mob grazing is a job. You do more work than the cows if you are a true mob grazer. It is far less work, I think, than most would believe it is, but it is still a job. The big push a few years ago was to "chew it off to ground" and then give it a really long rest. Most of the...

I have done some mob grazing and have been around some ground that has been mob grazed. It is labor intensive. Water can be a problem. Shade can be a problem. The results that mob grazing produce is second to nothing that I have ever seen. Phenomenal, incredible, etc., etc. They truly...

If the soil has been managed properly, next year will deliver even more grass than this year. It is truly amazing what good soil can do in all conditions.....even drought.

Have any of you that have such disdain for grass-fed beef ever tried it? I don't mean some old range cow that your neighbor had processed, I mean actual grass-finished beef from Tallgrass Beef, Thousand Hills, etc.? Surely you have. Surely you're not just assuming that it's no good? Just...

I mean!
