    Coverall Shelters

    Hi folks, hope all is well for everyone. I am wondering if anyone has photos up close of a coverall shelter attached to a wooden pony wall? We bought a used coverall type shelter from some friends and it was mounted on the ground. I want to mount it on a 4' pony wall and have an idea of how I'll...

    Looking for a tractor

    Hi folks, been pretty busy and away from the forum for a while, hope everyone is doing well. I'm looking for a utility size tractor, 50-80hp, loader, etc. Just need something for moving a bale here and there, plowing snow, pulling a post pounder and general chore work. I'm looking at keeping the...

    Horse Color

    Hi Folks, I'd like some input from others as to what I could expect for foal colors from my bay roan stud, breeding him to grey, blue roan and grullo mares. The greys I think have a 50% chance of throwing another grey, but otherwise should throw grullos and roans, correct? He's been bred to...

    Australian Koolie

    Anyone have one or see them? I saw a couple in Australia a few years ago on a trip, but never in Canada. A lady on the west coast has a pup for sale that's half Australian Koolie and she says they're really intelligent stock dogs.

    Severe Storm, Oklahoma, Texas, etc

    Thought I'd share this, hope you all in these areas are okay. Sounds like it's packing a lot of moisture and wind. http://www.accuweather.com/en/weather-news/midweek-severe-weather-outbrea-1/45123731

    A Farmers' Obligation

    Thought I'd share this here. I'm sure it will stir up some debate, but that's why I wrote it - to make people think about the consequences of our farming actions. I'm very tired of uneducated folk bashing farming, but I am equally tired of farmers saying there is nothing wrong with the way we...

    Hobbies for Ranchers

    My Dad has always loved old things. He and Mother have collected antiques most of their lives, and the last few years he has started collecting horse drawn equipment. He got some help from a carpenter friend and they started restoring a few pieces, and this is one of their best. A water wagon...

    Pesticide Research

    Studies have been pointing to neonicotinoid pesticides having a link to bee deaths and the colony collapse disorder over the last few years. Two Ontario honey-producers, with support from the Ontario Beekeeper's Association, just launched a $450 million dollar lawsuit against Bayer Inc and...

    Cows and Bulls

    Had to take pics for a package of females we're selling so I took pics of most of the herd and some turned out not too bad. Don't think I'll try being a photographer anytime soon. Purebred Galloway yearling bull, Boughbaron Flash 31A. He is for sale. Got 5lbs per day of show ration in January...

    Photos from Southern BC

    Hi All, been pretty busy but decided to upload some pictures tonight. We've had great rains and haven't had to irrigate much to get our first cut this year. Our Galloways have adapted quite well from Alberta to BC forage. They're fat as ticks, calves are growing well and bulls will be going out...

    Rowse Double Bar Mower

    Anybody - other than Dylan - have one of these or had experience with one? I'm thinking of trying one because I'm tired of this discbine firing rocks through tractor windows and replacing knives every hour. Would also like to see if the sickle mowing and raking would speed our curing time. Any...

    Sheep

    Just curious, and I'm sure this may turn into a debate like we all have with cattle breeds, but for those of you running sheep, what breeds do you have the best experience with at lambing? Which are the best mothers that you don't have to babysit around the clock?

    Tagging System for Purebreds

    Hey all, what do some of you do to tag your replacement heifers? I started tagging them the same as their Momma, so my old 3N cow for instance, all her heifer calves we kept got a 3S, 3T, 3U, etc. The problem is when those daughters have calves, if they have heifers that you keep as well, you...

    Mixer Mill

    Evenin' folks. Has anyone seen a good NH 357/358 or 359 mixer mill in their travels relatively close to southern BC, AB or Northern Washington/Idaho? I'd like to find one by spring. Any I've found on the net thus far have been a long ways off, or ones in AB were worn out. Thanks.

    Got My Buddy Back

    I posted this in Horses & Dpgs, but that doesn't seem to be getting traffic lately, so I thought I'd share here also. So 11yrs ago I lost a good buddy to some unforeseen circumstances. It's taken alot of work to keep track of his whereabouts, but I swore one day I would get him back. Monday was...
