What is your favorite Farm or Ranch Magazine?
I quit Successfull Farming completely and Farm journal for a while. I just felt much of the articles and ads never pertained to my area. All they talked about was corn and more corn and planters and more planters. I guess I should start reading again to learn how to grow corn out here. Maybe they figured out how I can raise 200bu. corn on 12" of annual moisture. :wink:
I look forward to The Traders Dispatch out here in Montana each month.
 
I've found that most of the farm and ranch magazines are geared toward farming more than ranching. So I don't subscribe to any of them. I do get one magazine/paper each month. The Land and Livestock Post. It's more of a local magazine printed by a Neighboring town newspaper. It's FREE too. But has more useful information in it for our area than anything else I've found out there.
 
cowboyup gets Western Farmer-Stockman, Agri-News and Trader's Dispatch!! Lots and lots of good info, classifieds.......sadly, though, the pages will fill up come spring of Estate Auctions!! :(
 
Western Producer - it's like the Bible around here. I get Farm and Ranch Living every two months, read it from cover to cover. My husband also gets Antique Power, all about old tractors. I enjoy Cattlemen, which I borrow from the best friend, too cheap to get my own subscription!
 
I like the Western producer also. It was just to slow at getting down here.
Subscribed online for a while. There was alot of deals in the classifieds.
 
the second issue just hit mailboxes this week, but I have sure enjoyed looking through the Working Ranch magazine. A free subscription is always a plus, but it seems to have a lot of good articles. Has a ranchers journal this month of a gentleman in southwestern Oklahoma, highlights some of the features of some new tractors and equipment, and also discusses how to handle and treat calf scours as well as keep a balanced mineral plan for your cows.

I agree. The WORKING RANCH magazine has a lot to offer.

We get the Tri-State Livestock News out of Sturgis, SD, and also The FENCE POST is a good magazine. I also like The AMERICAN COWBOY and The WESTERN HORSEMAN (I've been getting the Western Horseman since September of 1965).
 
any info on where i could subcribe to that working ranch??or see a copy online? it sounds good if you both like it, thanx
 
We get the Western Livestock Journal, the Tri State Neighbor, and a few others. We just got the Livestock Journal recently. We really like it. It has plenty of up to date cattle and farming updates. It also lets you know about sales coming up. We get it once a week.
 
I'm glad someone mentioned the Working Ranch magazine.
We just got our second issue (it is a quarterly publication, I think)
and it has some good articles.

Not that I think the mineral article was right on, I don't.
They make it too complicated. Use the KISS system...

Mark Raymond is the cowboy on the cover and I can tell
you from experience, he is a REAL working cowboy.
Great hand and super person.

With all the glossy pages, it is interesting that they can send
it for free. Of course, advertising pays most of the cost of
any publication, but not with glossy paper. That stuff is very
expensive.

Another one I like is Angus Beef Bulletin. It's free to those
who purchase Angus bulls.

clicked on your website and says "all free subscriptions are full....check back after September, 2006" :shock: :shock: :lol: :lol:
Am gonna give them a call and get this for cowboyup...I think this will be one magazine he will read from front to back!
Another one I like to buy in town (don't have a subscription, yet) is RANGE magazine....pretty interesting and pretty straight forward!!
 
Range Magazine (from the very first published), StockGrower (biennial from MSGA), Working Ranch, Drovers, Beef Magazine, Western Livestock, Western Farmer-Stockman, Cattleman (from NCBA), Gelbvieh World, APHA magazine, and numerous others I can't think of. Most of these we get free. We dropped our subscription to Agri-News a number of years when it began to get a little one sided. Made us mad :mad: Haven't renewed, but don't need to, we can't keep up with what we get :(
 
We don't get too many... We get Beef and we get Hay and Forage.. Both are free to me so We keep renewing... I used to get something out of Texas, Livestock Weekly or something like that but it was just a gift and not very relevant to us up here.. WE get AgriNews, even after dropping the subscription it keeps coming, read it sometimes, sometimes we don't. Get an Iowa one too which is okay.. And we get Stockman Grass Farmer and the Red Angus Journal..

Used to get a few more after we inquired to a couple breed associations. The Tarentaise Folks sent us there magazine for a while, we got a subscribtion as a gift to the Angus magazine (All 300 pages of adds every month :lol: ) and have had a few others show up from time to time. Most just end up getting glanced through and than pitched. We have to much clutter in the house anyways.
