    Skid Steer with tree shear?

    DejaVu Is the one you are talking about a Marshal Saw? A friend of mine has one and it has nearly worn him out running over all the pastures they have. It is on an S-300 and it has grouser tracks on it. I see several kinds of the "tree cutters" around here Marshal saw, Dymax, Longford...

    For this burn we used a backpack sprayer and two four wheelers with 15 gal tanks. Maybe not quite as much as we really should've had but the wind was from the east and the south,west and north sides all had trees and creek so we weren't really to worried. The Locust we have around here grow...

    Business as usual?

    A feller gave me a good piece of advice long ago which was, "Get everything in writting." It may seem crazy but as prices change and children, greedy neighbors and so on get involved it stuff that is really not their concern things get way out of shape. If you have it in writting everyone has...

    Feeding cattle on the JF Ranch

    Darn impressive rig there JF, cattle look great. I am curious though do you raise the corn or do you have it brought in from outside the ranch? Back in the 70's dad picked corn with a 620 and a 2 row 227 JD corn picker and put it in Behlen corn cribs. Man that was some of the best feed you could...

    Cattle to market

    Our barns around here are all along the lines of the one in the photo's. I have enough barns within an hr that I could go to a sale Monday thru Friday and not go to the same place twice. Our cattle numbers at the sales range from 400-1500 on average. We just don't have the big cattle numbers...

    Thanks for another round of great pic's. Seeing you brand brings a couple question to mind, do you have to use hot iron or is freeze branding recognized just the same for the brand inspection ID? Around here few brand and the ones that do I would guess that about 80-90% of them use freeze...

    Fact or Myth Regarding Bulls????

    I have always tried to stay with the theory that cattle (bulls,cow's and calves) should be fed as close to a constant ration all year around as possible. I realize that they need a bump in the levels to help with tough conditions, calving,feed lot finishing, ect. If you look at pasture in the...

    Calf in sheep's clothing

    That just flat breaks my heart to see cattle like that. It bothers me the most because I don't know of anything that anyone could do to help them other than feed them well and hope for warm weather. The worst is that if you warmed them up fast you would likely make them terrible sick. Heck I am...
