    RFD TV

    I guess I haven't watched a video sale in a while, and I guess now I know why. When and why did RFD stop televising the Superior sales. I might have to switch to dish now.

    Feeding the cows

    We were just rolling out alfalfa every other day for protein. Most of the cows are still on grass and some on stalks. But we have gotten alot of snow in the past 10 days so now we're feeding them pretty much a full ration. They really like the millet hay we put up this fall.

    F550 vs. Dodge 5500

    Thanks guys, I drove a friend's F550 to Colorado to pull a feed wagon back. And again a week later to drag the thing back. It was a 900 supreme and I pulled it 60 to 70 all the way home and back. I would like to drive a dodge 5500, I have drove another friends 06 2500 diesel and the Trans...

    F550 vs. Dodge 5500

    Oh I know they all break down, unless you park them in the garage. Can't break if you don't use them. I am a die hard Chevy guy but the last two duramax I had were junk all the way around. I'm leaning towards the ford but a friend of mine has one and the turbo went out at 48000. They told him...

    F550 vs. Dodge 5500

    that's my theory. 1 tons are made about like half tons used to be. I have drove a 550, but I just worry about the turbos in them. Better to have more pickup than not enough. And they don't cost hardly any more than a 1 ton and get the same milage.

    F550 vs. Dodge 5500

    Does anyone have either of these and how do you like it? The new 6.7 is what I'm looking at and have heard a few bad things about turbo going out on the ford. I'll be putting a hydra bed on it. Thanks and Merry Christmas [/code]

    Vermeer head scratcher

    Soap if you or anyone else needs net I can beat the heck out of vermeer of johndeere net by at least 30 bucks a roll. I'm not a dealer but I get all my twine and net from a friend that is. May not be the greatest net, its the only kind i use so i have no comparison, but at the price it's hard beat.

    Lets talk

    A person can buy a put to protect them selves against a falling market. A put or call contract is 40000 lb. I beleive. If u buy a put your expecting the market to fall. If it falls you get paid on your put, if the market goes up you get paid on your cattle. If you buy a call your expecting...

    Downer Cow...

    We just had the same thing on a hfr. Pulled a monster calf out of her one night, his heart was thumping when we finally got him out but couldn't make him breathe so we were about to give up as I glanced back at the hfr and here came the calf bed. We rolled her back and forth to get her back...

    calf warmer

    Has any one built their own calf warmer? If so what kind of heater did you use. Or is there a calf warmer out there that will hold more than one? The only ones I can find around here will only hold 1 calf. Please post pics if possible. And I know I'm an idiot calving right now and I...
