    Influencing Calving Times?

    I'll throw in my 2 cents worth. (And that is what it is worth!) I have been calving my heifers and only my heifers this way for 6 years now. In six years I can only think of 3 that did not respect my daytime calving program. I'm not a large farm but in six years it has been over 250 head...

    Grampa always said the darker the harder, and 80% this year are solid black in my neck of the woods. I'll let you know in May! :)

    Burr Under the Saddle Blanket

    Does any one reckon that this is a way of counting cows for the new "methane" tax that the EPA and Obama administration is working quietly to impose. I have seen some very negative press on cattle as of late. Apparently cows are the major contributing factor of the "Global Warming" that...

    Sparky's new invention, April 2014

    Sweet! While we are on the subject I've always wondered do you use high carbon steel or anything special to make the brand itself out of due to the heat? Or are you just using mild steel?

    Justifying a hired hand

    Good luck. The good ones leave for more money than the can be generated on the farm and don't have to work in bad weather. The bad ones cost you 10 times more than you pay them in repairs and lost time. which ever way you go if they are under 30 make them leave their cell phone home! I've...

    Calf puller

    I've got a puller from KC Stone Mfg in Kansas City. I've used it for years trouble free. I probably could have found cheaper but this one has never failed me when needed.

    Question for the net-wrapped bale unrollers

    As long as they don't choke on it I'd have to call it rumen scratch. When I was at school the "smart ones" were feeding plastic pellets and a super nutrient dense diet just to see what it would do. The cows looked good on their 'plastic' diet. (yeah, I hate to admit it but that was before...

    Drill stem post's

    I honestly don't remember if the poast were capped or not, but they were when I left. I also don't remember if the concrete was flush with the ground or not. I just remember the guy was very happy he didn't have to cut off his continus fence and start over.

    Drill stem post's

    3M I wonder if it has to do with soil type. I had a guy call me that had put in some pipe and continous fence for a lot. It did not look like it saw too much use and was about 10 years old. Every pipe rusted at the cement line. This man was not a happy camper. We were able to fix it by...

    Red Angus/Simmental cross

    Been there done that. In my experience the Sim crossed with any angus (red or black) did not take our Missouri native fescue very well. All of my sim crossed cows are Hi headed and hard keepers. Thank goodness I don't have many left. Honestly you could not run fast enough to give me a Sim...
