This topic is very interesting and an important discussion to have in my opinion. Initially, I would just be happy to keep trespassers and unauthorized hunters off my property. I have recently have had individuals thinks they are entitled to hunt on property I own because they hunted there when...

First time ever, I guess the perfect storm of events. A Coop upgrader and ESSO terminal (connected by pipeline to refinery in Edmonton) less than an hour away and out of fuel. Just in time inventory management is just a little to tight for my liking.

It appears to be a south Sask issue. Its getting media attention, mostly about highway rigs (clear diesel) being out of stock and when is available its access is restricted to a couple hundred liters (50 gal). It took three days to get farm fuel here, normally a next day service. Just short term...

The trencher I have doing some work onsite is was shut down for the last couple days because he couldnt get fuel. I have ordered our diesel tank filled, we will see how long it takes to get it filled. It will be interesting how diesel will rationed if thats what it come to, even in the short...

Thank you to all :)

Can you generalize and say that buyers: 1. dont care which castration method is done as along as its done well 2. Pay a premium for knife cut steers or a discount for banded ones 3. or visa versa As well, I am curious what the opinions are in terms of banding at birth versus knife cut 6 weeks...

I am curious if you have received or observed any premiums for calves that are knife cut vs banded? If so, how much is the premium or discount (cents per pound) and has that changed over recent years. Is this eliminated when grasser steers are sold? :)

Glad to hear. It must be nice to be done. We had a year like that last year. How are you stacking your bales? Any bale grazing?

I have the tandem axle mobile model. I just got it late this spring. This fall will be first test and next year as we rotate through paddocks.

I'd trade it. I am really wondering about the economics of the diesel trucks. More to buy, more to maintain, really expensive to fix and my 2010 dodge only gets 18mpg and with a small trailer i'm in the 12-14 range and big trailer 10 -12 range. I also have a hemi gas 2010 and the mileage is a...

We did get'r done. We did two batches with a foremost table and one with horses and wrestlers. Some of the calves were getting a little big. The wrestlers, horses and ropers earned their "pops" that day. I know this may offend some or may spark a philosophical debate, but in my mind both ways of...

Very Cool! Keep us informed with pictures. thanks

IMO, i think the oil supply/demand balance or "imbalance" will substantially change our economies. Lots of change will occur and lots of opportunity for low input protein production as long as we can get it to market. IMHO, Access to low cost transportation like rail will be important for...

no measureable rain here in south central sask. Just settling the dust.

:D Thank you all, great advise as always. :D :D

I need to put in 5 winter watering sites and would like some advise as to the the type of tanks/troughs/bowls you like. The line feeding the trough is a pressurized pipeline, but there is not power. I like simple, dependable, cheap and reliable. I currently have two thermosink bowls and have...

Thank you BMR. To be clear and fair to the others that make valuable and important contributions to Waldorf Ranch, in addition to NR and Ty, there are two others that play very important roles at the ranch. Oh ya those are in addition to me, and I spend 50% of my time there too. It appears its...

The gang at Alberta Carriage do a great job of teaching rookies to harness and drive a single horse and a team. They have a very practical approach to teaching by doing with 4 instructors for 16 or so students. There was not alot of jargon used and the focus was safety and getting us to...

Coyote, no real conflict story to share. There is alot of development taking place all around the ranch and by association with this I fiqured out I will be keeping my distance and any any of my "discoveries" low key. I will be doing my part to not inadvertantly damage and preserve areas that...
