Great story Soapweed. Back in the spring I was in the fourth grade my Dad put me in charge of trapping the gophers out of the alfalfa fields. He bought me a bunch of traps and told me he'd give me a buck a gopher. I took my trap line pretty seriously. I remember sitting in class excited to get...

Someone’s trying to tell you to put a whole battery of Hereford Bulls on those fine black cattle.

I came down through Provo canyon late last night coming home with a few Bulls I'd went to Wyoming to get. It was raining pretty hard and I couldn't believe how people were driving. Every son of a gun that blew by me were doing 80. I'm like H once a year along the front is good enough for me...

I'm am truly sorry for your families loss. This business we are in can be heartbreaking and so rewarding. I think the words spoken in this thread show that we all know how your daughter and family is feeling. It's tough. And I'm thinking of you all. Let those tears flow, it helps.

Well after another great day of getting no cows loaded and crippled horses and a crippled me, I'll be damned if I'm not going to go buy on of these corrals.

After one of the hardest gathers off the spring range I've ever had. Cows are scattered and 20 miles from a corral. By the time I get around them, I don't have enough daylight to make it to a pen. I've really been considering a portable corral with a semi load out. I called rawhide and was...

While I don't participate in anymore programs. I'm always amused at those that call it welfare and belittle those that are participating in the programs, that in fact they themselves where most likely at one time or another getting paid pretty well.

You should have sprayed it right before planting your alfalfa this past fall. Now you have to leave it be. If you spray it this spring you'll damage your young hay you just planted. Let the alfalfa get established. In a year from this coming spring, wait till the weeds start to green up and spray.

My dad use to tell of a dog they had back in the 60s. Stubby was a German Shepard. Dad said he was the best cow dog he'd ever had or seen. He was stolen once by some others that had ridden with my dad and grandpa gathering cows. The people that took him lived about 400 miles away. Dad said about...

Those are nice bull calves. If you bring H one you just as well throw another one on for me. I'd take a Chisum son out of a Shoshone bred cow. Nice deep calves. Nice eye for cattle Denny.

No offense, but those nose flaps look cruel in there own right. Those calves are big enough to wean and not have that much stress.

Summers over when chopping silage is complete. Another harvest maybe in a month or so.

I agree with Soap. I will admit to participating in a few programs years ago. I've decided it's just a form of welfare. And by hell if I'm not a good enough manger to get through some droughts or what have you. Then I should find another line of work. So I say if you cuss all those folks who...

Is this a pull type? Can you adjust the angle of the cut? Can you adjust the float? My self propelled has these adjustments that helps keep the gopher mounds out of the windrow. I also rake two swaths together. That helps sift some dirt out. Just some ideas. I would never go back to guards and...

Anyone ever tried their tubs? Told me they are the cheapest tubs to feed per day. I believe they said they are out of Minnesota.

I've got wws trying to close my winter permit over two little endangered cactus. Fishhook and pincushion cactus. Then on top of that the Grand Canyon trust is trying to close my summer range due to hummocking in meadows and aspen growth. Both complete BS. Every scientific studies and long term...
