After all these years there is still something heartwarming about a husky little baby calf. Thanks for posting.

My 2012 Ford F350 gas pulling 10 cows in a steel trailer would get about 9 mpg but I buy my fuel for $1 a gallon less. Just not a lot of difference in any of them.

Mine is for the Angus Report and the Kansas City steak company. Sounds pretty good.

Boy, I'd say she sure bought them at the right time and at the right price. The first calf will darn near pay for the cow. Smart move.

Same here, George.

What authority does Vilsack have to set up another check off and not have a referendum for three years? Does this mean he plans to manage our money? Or is this a government tax on our cattle business? I know I sound negative but I don't trust the government one bit.

FH, I'd say if they can hedge a profit in them then go ahead and buy them. If not sell the corn and buy puts. If corn should increase a little then they would gain. If not they only lost their futures money and they can sit in front of the fireplace in January and take a nap. Sometimes it is...

I wouldn't touch it. In any market whether it be cattle, grain or the stock market you can tell when it is reaching the top when lots of folks who have limited experience in the field want to spend big bucks to get into it. Many times they will lose their shirt. You admit you lack experience...

Great pictures. Looks like a really fun time. The Lovestruck Cowgirl wasn't bad either!!!!

I have a gator 825i with a bench seat and it will run 45 mph with a 50 horse gas engine. I've never been that fast but it will really go, much faster than my old gator 6 wheel. I got the deluxe cab but didn't get the glass doors as I thought I could find some canvas or plastic doors similar to...

It pays to shop around when buying replacement belts. I have a NH BR780 and I broke a belt. Went to NH dealer to get a new one and they wanted $400 which I thought was a lot. Wound up going to a farm store and found one for $229....same exact belt. Looked on the internet and found them for...

I, too, would be very interested in finding who makes a baler with greaseable rollers. I think those sealed bearings that run out of grease are a major cause of baler fires. I know I have sure come close a time or two with super hot bearings. I'd think it would be a big selling point...

I have a 6000 series tractor and there are two wires that hang down underneath the tractor that plug into each other. Sometimes weeds or brush will pull them apart and unplug them. When that happens the tractor won't move until you plug them back in again. Then the reverser works fine.

Really great looking cattle and those little guys are a husky bunch, You should be real proud of those cattle. They are so slick and shiny, I assume they lose their winter hair a little later. Mine are looking pretty ragged right now but in a while they will lose that winter hair and really...

Lots of new babies around your place. Such fun to watch. But I gotta ask.....Flying Nunn????????

Whenever I hear of these radical and useless projects I wonder just how these idiots expect to eat. There is a very nice ranch in this area that is now owned by a quasi government-conservation outfit to conserve the native prairie like it was. Of course they have a fancy tourist shop where...

I don't think power steering is a big deal. Up until just a couple of years ago it wasn't available on any of these machines that I know of. I have a 2012 Gator 825i and it doesn't have power steering although now you can get it. Just keep your thumb out of the steering wheel because if you...

I have a 2012 F-350 with the 6.2 and 6 speed auto. I like it a lot. Gets 12-14 mpg empty and does ride a little hard but it's a fairly heavy truck. It pulls a 20' stock trailer full of cows very easily. A 28' flat trailer loaded with hay, total weight about 30,000 lbs, takes a little more...

A couple of years ago a bad hail storm ruined my shingle roof and a new one had to be put on. I asked my contractor to give me a bid for both metal and comp shingles. I had one layer of shingles on the roof. His bid was only $120 more for the metal, the reason being they did not have to...

I don't know anything about the 5100 but I have a 6430 that I really like and I can swath hay, rake, bale and load it on the hay trailer. It's a little more costly than the 5100 but I sure like it. If you were cutting with just a mower and raking hay one of those little Ford 8N's are cheap...
