Ya, you're right Haymaker, I should be happy.......except that, it seems to me I remember selling a 2400 lb. bull in 2001 for about 75 or 77 cents per pound........(you know, back when fuel was about a buck a gallon.....Oh, the memories...) Forget it......... I'm OVERJOYED just knowing that...

Took an old(6 yrs) Charolais bull to town the other day.If I remember right I paid $2100 when I bought him. He weighed 2360 lbs. He brought a whopping 26.5 cents/lb. for a total of $625.40..... subtract from that $30 friggin' dollars salebarn comission,(these guys are out of control), another 5...

Nope. But, apparently, I can't spell "POTATO" either!! That's why I calls'em spuds!! :D

Thanks for the pics of "Gord", Hanta Yo!!!! :D I'm guessing that "Gord's" last name isn't Epstein or Goldberg!! :wink:

:D :D Funny you should ask..... BUT....... even after my wife pickled it I could have sworn there was a faint taste of "back seat of a "network" limo. :D :D :wink:

I got home from the field tonight and my wife was digging 'spuds. There was one tater that looked alot like "male reproductive organs"....as in a large long central shaft shaped component, with two smaller round appendages at one end. I wanted to post a picture but between our slow dial up...

I've been doing some renovating on my house over the last few weeks, filling in time until calving starts. Today I had to get up in the attic to move some wiring and put some insulation in where it was missing(you could tell by the condensation on the cieling). Anyway, I found a framing...

I can see it now......... "MIKE'S GATES" - "WE SWING EITHER WAY" :D :D :wink:

We got about a foot here, maybe a little more. The problem is it's still coming down and now that old North wind is starting to pick up. There could be some ugly drifts out there by morning. School was closed today and will be tomorrow as well. Kids are happy!! :)

The one cow we had that impacted,many years ago, was on green oat hay, not even straw. It had been cut a little late and wasn't the best stuff. Anyway, she was a big (18-1900 lb) old Maine cow,one of my Dad's favorites. Due to calve in about 3 weeks. We tried the mineral oil and the dioctyl...

One of my neighbors worked for Senator Hays, at one time.......he is a PB Charolais man now..... sold a lot of good bulls over the years. There were some PB Hays Converter bulls at Douglas test station a few years ago. If I remember right, their performance was below average as was the price...

Ditto..... and impaction is nasty....... gnarly, even. :shock:

Yup!!!! It can warm up anytime now. These cattle are eating me out of house and home when the temps are this low!!!! I feel sorry for #1 son. Roughnecking on a 12 hour graveyard shift in this weather......... Ouch!!! :)

Was this the "shoe polish" steer? I think I remember something about it but I was pretty young in '72.......How old were you Mike? :D To be fair, the Angus breed of 2006 has come a long way from what it was in '72, in my opinion. My hat is off to the Angus people who have done such a...

OT, Yup I should have just left him where I found him this morning. The REALLY fun part of my day is what happened in between the "bull" fiascos..... #1 son needs to renew his driver's licence and I need to renew the insurance/registration on my trucks and trailers.Keep in mind we have Commie...

Sunrise this morning, I look out my North living room window and it is snowing and blowing. No big deal.It's November in the great white north. From this window I can also see a pen where I keep some bulls in the winter. Two Maines are in the pen,where they are supposed to be, but an older...

If I was you, I would take the steer, sell it and invest the money in a couple cases of Jack Daniels...... :lol: :lol: :wink:

Here is another "home remedy" for getting rid of skunk odor..... 1 quart of hydrogen peroxide 1/2 cup of baking soda a few drops of dish soap You can wash kids, dogs or clothes with it and it works like a charm.

Anybody know of an inexpensive place to buy roller chain?? Maybe online or mail order?? I just paid $16.00/foot for #80RS chain( the good stuff, Diamond or Tsubaki). There is lots of Chinese chain for cheap ,but it is garbage. There is about 30 feet of #80 on my baler. Do the math!!!! :( :(...

Hey..... I cut greenfeed oats with my swather....... but I've got a conditioner on it . If you let the crop get too mature yes, it will thresh the kernels out. The option then is to take the crimper off or cut it at night. Actually I can chain the conditioner up, out of the way, on my old...
