Apparently R-Calf's meetings are only open to those in agreement with there policies. It's unforunate when any organization removes those in attendance having a different view.

I see where Steve Dittmer was escourted out of the R-Calf convention by Bill Bullard and two security guards. Who is Steve Dittmer and what kind of threat does he present to the R-Calf organization that would require such strong arm tactics?

I don't know what you have been reading to get your information but my packer pays $25/hd for age and source verified beef delivered to their plants.

Centrl South Dakota had tempatures in excess of 115 degrees for the second day in a row. I think we are finally warming up and drying out.

I look at owning units in USPB which is the majority owner of National Beef differently than shares in one of the other major packers. Don't you? Do you think USPB's purchase of Brawley violated any laws?

I'm suggesting rather than set on the sideline's and cry about it, we as producers get involved by investing in our own value added business whether it is a beef processing facility or ethanol plant. Looking to the government for relief seems futile.

National Beef's majority owner is U.S. Premium Beef, LLC. Last time I checked they had shares available for sale at about 20% less than a couple of years ago. Get on the band wagon so you also can share in the huge packer profits. USPB owners have the opportunity to share in the profits or...

I have repaired more belts than I care to count over the last 30 years. Here is my advice for what it is worth. The clipper lacing is made to withstand the flexing, twisting and bending which a baler belt tends to do. I would recommend a 3-41/2-6 lace for an older baler and a 41/2HT for a...

I will predict mandatory animal Id will become a reality in the US during this decade for two reasons. One, our foreign markets are asking for it and the competion is providing it and two, for our own countries increasing demands for food safety. We have many organizations weighing in on the...

FH, I was wonder the same thing. I'm not sure what type of bit a driving horse should have but I'm going to try something other than the snaffle bit I currently am using.

Curly, I'm not sure who had the horse before I got her. She is 5 this spring and the guy I got her from had her for about a year. She could have come from the Amish or was trained on the track to trot. She is getting better about walking but needs a few miles before she likes to slow down...

LB I am half a state east of you but am concerned about wolves. Have any been sighted in NW SD? If so have they killed any livestock?

I have been driving her about 3 times/week. 6 to 10 miles @ time. I drive her into our little town with barking dogs and other distractions. I also am checking cows with her. It is a good experience for the horse and cows. Next item is getting her to quit throwing her head to the left...

Come on now Soapweed admit your jealous. My misses likes to sit close on the buggy........ now that has to be better than a dog with worms.

After 10 miles of driving in about 45 minutes my mare found out she could walk. I've driven her once since and she is learning to walk. I think she may have been a horse originally trained on the track to trot so walking was something she had to learn. Thanks for all your help and ideas...

Thanks for all the idea's. I plan on driving her somemore yet this week. I would expect it will take 6-7 miles before she slows down. I've driven her 5 miles without slowing down. I need to keep a tight rein to keep her from a cantor/lope. I appreicate everyones ideas and will give a report...

I've only hitched her twice. Once we went 3 miles and the next time 5 miles and she never broke stride. If I would let her she would break into a lope. The road is at a good incline in places. Can you drive them to hard as she works up quite a sweat after a short drive?

I recently purchased a horse for my buggy. She is a 5yr old morgan/app mare and is well broke to drive. I would like to use her in parades but she has one gear.....troting. Any idea's on how to teacher her to walk?

Dallas is selling all his bred cows due to a health problem he is having. He has used AI for many (20 plus)years. The females he is selling will be dominated by the OCC prefix. They are primarily frame 4 and 5 cattle with a few 6's. The cows are in good condition with no grain. I looked at...

What about his MacDon mowerconditioner and Flexicoil airseeder? I wonder where they came from?
