448 69 inch bales made. It looks like we are finally going to get some serious rain this week to get my silage and second cut going. Feels pretty good to have enough feed for the winter.

I use a 12' Hesston 1345 hydrowswing Discbine. It does a great job I can cut up to 11 mph as long as the molehills are not too rough on my unit and my back.

We finally got started, a few days behind schedule but it looks like we will have a good week to get wrapped up, then get a big rain to get our second cut going. Hay is now trading at 125-150$ a bale so we need all we can get. It looks like I will have enough for the year. with the first cut and...

Yes my Aggie classmate is quite the general. we had 6 ropers 12 rasslers 2 nut men 3 needle ladies 2 tag girls, I implanted, had 2 on the irons ect ect. A very well oiled machine and its a big event for some city folk to get their yearly dose of country life.

I got my hfrs moved in to their valley pasture by the Battle River, It has a lot of carryover grass and they should really grow and develop here. I ended up using my Resource bull as cleanup on them and I cant wait for his first calves. This Pioneer dtr has been a standout all her life. Her...

That sale ave was 6800$ I bid on top seller and runner up to over 15k$

We have had a great winter here, so much that it returned on Saturday with 16" of we snow. It was actually a blessing as we needed the moisture and now the grass will really come. All my bulls sold early and was able to move some pairs and a few yearlings as well to some young cattlemen. We had...

My unit is a bit touchy getting the right sensitivity on the shuttle but Ive got it figured out pretty good now. I have the 445 challenger that is equivalent to the 5455

I have the dyna 4 on a 80hp and the Auto-6 on a 150 hp and they are great trannies with good gear ratios and easy to shuttle back and forth. The Auto-6 now has a pedal mode that is very good for a loader tractor

We have had an almost ideal summer until last week. It is impossible to get second cut hay dry and now even dry enough to cut it. very glad to have cows around as grain farmers pretty bummed out with flat sprouting crops. good news is pasture are still lush and cows as well as calves really...

We were blessed with 8 tenths of rain last night, just in time as we were really starting to get dry here, not like some areas but now we will get a second cut of hay and grain crops will be very good. Again I was glad I am a bit understocked as the grass had really stalled. I finally sold out...

Business end of them. I don't feed any grain to these January calvers, but my hay was excellent quality and they are in the best condition I have ever seen them. There are 5 really nice bull calves in here that will be keepers.

We got a 2 inch rain this week that was very welcome. We were starting to get dry. I am very conservative on stocking rates and it is really paying off with good early season growth even without a lot of rain. I have a few small pastures I send some quit pairs to. These 7 are only on about 20...

We have most of the cows away from home but the last 25 are ready to go, they are on some carryover grass for a few days and then go out too. They are mainly 3-6 year olds so have some of the biggest calves on them. We are done 50 breeding days so hopefully they are all in calf. We had .75 inch...

I was happy to get some cows out to grass on Saturday, but cows like two cows were happier! Their calves are enjoying some freedom and grass as well. these bull calves and hfrs will be a big part of my marketing program this fall and breeding program into the future

[/u][/b] This may be this first year on record that cows will go straight from losing winter hair and put it back on in a month, Only 6 months till winter! This is a Final Answer Grdtr from a Sitz Allianace cow that will make the replacement pen

It looks like I will be feeding for another 3 weeks as we had snow again this weekend and this week will be cold. I am glad to have 3 months of feed left as many neighbors will be turning cows out onto brown short grass. I'm cleaning up the last of my silage bales, cows are pretty pick this time...

Calving is pretty much done here, in fact I went a month with only one calf then had one today. it still looks like all the rest will come within the 65 day window so even though it is frustrating, we wait. Calves are growing like weeds and I cant wait for green grass and bull turnout. A Final...

That is a great display of all that is great with cattle. You have the facilities, the cattle temperament and the demeanor to get the job done without stress to the critter or you, even though the weather is not great. You will get your reward this fall.

I have avoided calving in March and its associated mud and busy work by calving in January. My research showed last march was 10*colder than February, and this February was 10* colder than this January. All I know is that when we have this 10" of ice melt here I will be glad I have 200 lb...
