    New holland balers

    Sorry I cant comment on the 560 but I can remark on the 7090. We had a BR780 and they had issues with the pickup. Huge trouble feeding the material to start the bale in certain conditions. Saying that all those problems are gone with the BR7090. The extra wide pickup will pickup anything and...

    Can Am Side by sides

    Everyone definately needs one! haha just kidding! We have had since 2009 and love it. Running a Teryx with 7400 kms on it. The teryx is old technology but I have zero issues. We are looking at a new one this fall and for practicality the Ranger is on the top of my list. But sometimes I'm not...

    Feeding advice from the experts!

    Our experience with triticale is the cows do not like the straw if it is not mature. We treat it the same as any other cereal crop we produce. We let it mature and combine it for feed grain.Easy to produce a 50 bu crop. After the bins are full we bale the rest for grain bales. The straw behind...

    Feeding advice from the experts!

    Sorry guys/gals I don't post much but read all the time. We run 200head cow/calf operation in south Sask. When they come home late Oct/Nov we graze farmland until Dec/Jan. When its cold or the snow is too deep we supplement them with Triticale grain and hay. We would really like to not start the...

    Disposition, is it Heritable or Learned

    The one thing it sounds like is "cowboys" seem to be looked upon as wild,knock em down, shoot em up characters here. I have a different view. I look at the cowboys in this area and look up to them in the way they handle cattle. Sure its just a handle given I understand that but to them I admire...

    Disposition, is it Heritable or Learned

    I believe that genetics certainly have something to do with behavior, but in the same sentence handling has alot to do with behavior! I will be the first to admit cattle and I do not get along sometimes. I am not the patient type and that gets me in trouble at times. I have to remind myself to...

    April 2, 2013

    Soapweed I was amazed at the deweze set up! Never seen something like that before-very impressive! Being that we are farmers and ranchers we do things abit different. Guess we cassify ourselves as "cattlemen" not "cowboys"! Ha. Thats what a neighbor told me and its kinda stuck, cause God knows...

    Ear Tags

    We run commercial and tag everyone. Always ring,inject vit A/D,seliniem (spl) and biomyicin at 1 day old anyway so we tag with cows number and RDIF tag. Used to use metal tags in ears also but have since quit due to issues with ear out growing the metal tag! On all replacements we then metal tag...

    2013 polaris ranger 900

    If you are looking for a workhorse that has one purpose the Kabota is a great choice. But you're getting nowhere quick. The Ranger is a great product and have heard nothing about the 900's that would prevent me from buying one. Honestly looking at a Can Am Commander right now. Have a Teryx but...

    One year ago yesterday

    The steel barn thinking seems to have merit. Walk in our machinery shed and a blast of cold air hits you. Especially if sun is out (of course). Bought ear hoods from lady at Agribition and they wer junk. Then it was on to my mother in law with some ideas and poof a hoodie that stays on,keeps...

    Calving Woes

    Ha great "city kid" comment Soapweed! The debate is a great one and it comes down to everyones situation. Calving in May for us would be tough as cropping 4000ac just doesn't leave any spare time. If we were just ranchers (nobody take "just" the wrong way!) the idea would cross my mind. The last...

    Love Their Bulls!

    I guess that statement came out abit odd! I am very happy with the genetics I am in right now and the up and coming lines that my breeder is offering. So to say that it would be a step down is not a fair statement. I apologize it came thru that way.
