:roll: Can't imagine anyone putting their birth date in their bio ! Hope you had a good time at the bull sale today. Let me know what you ended up with.

Very timely topic. This is only our fourth year for swath or windrow grazing. Definitely great for saving the cost of tradtional harvesting. The best part is that you are feeding the hay on the ground where it was grown and returning the nutrients to the soil. What little hay the cows do not...

Have a good time "flyings". I am an alumni from 5 years ago. Best thing I ever did. Money well spent. We came home and changed a bunch of things and we are still working towards being a "low cost producer". It will be an exhausting week because of all the material that you try to absorb. I...

It doesn't get any better than this. These discussion groups are great. I got some answers to my concerns about summer calving, tagging, and scours and on the same page I find out where there is a source of Mice Killing Chickens. I did not even know there was such an animal. :roll: Keep up...

Back on the scour issue. GrassFarmer, historically we have had a Gelbvieh herd but for the last several years we have used so much Angus genetics that we are only a quarter to a half GV now. We still have plenty of milk and calving on green grass certainly insures that the milk is there. I...

Thanks Ben for the excellent information on grounding. I can tell you have been at this for quite a while. The more I mess with this electric fence the more I learn. We have a lot of vegetation issues on these hay meadows, along ditches, and the riparian area of the river. Like someone else...

Calves look great. Last forcast I heard sounded like you would get more snow on your side of the range than we would.

WyoRancher, thanks for the tip. Great pictures. I'll have to figure out how to post some pics from our part of the world. That picture in the rocks needs to be framed and on somebody's wall. :!:

Impressive photos of the blizzard in NE. We had our storm the 4th and 5th and I could tell from the radar that NE was going to get slammed. We began our spring calving the 3rd along the river with trees for protection and luckily it was not too cold. Only minor problems and maybe 1 or 2 calf...
