    ATV

    We started out looking at atvs a few years ago, and pretty quickly realized how much more we could do with a side x side. They both have their place, but overall the side x side is more useful to us.

    A big shout out to my Amish neighbors

    That's a shame to have to deal with. My cousin has a farm by a subdivision and he had as much trouble with people as he did dogs. Neighborhood kids tried to catch and ride his horses. Kids shot up his barn and shot the windshield out of an old 60's model cattle truck. We used to have an awful...

    A big shout out to my Amish neighbors

    Yeah, the actual backstory to why my wife got into the story and called the people, stemmed from a conversation we tried to have with the sister in law about farming practices. She had seen an online video of dairy calves being mistreated. Tried telling her that if it was anything to it it was...

    A big shout out to my Amish neighbors

    Reminds me of last year, my wife’s sister in law at the time ( she’s now divorcing ) had shared some kind of post bashing a particular breeder of dogs. They were telling people not buy from them and telling how horrible the conditions were. My wife knows that sometimes people give others a bad...

    Connealy. Maternal Made

    Saw a post in a recent Angus fb group a picture of an unidentified young bull at stud that was said to have been top1% for claw angle or whatever the EPD, is the picture clearly showed that it was likely going to be a problematic situation if his type was passed onto his calves.

    A big shout out to my Amish neighbors

    Yes, lots of differing rules amongst the various Amish communities. Many different beliefs and views among Baptists too. I'll make a post in the politics and religion section on this subject so as not to take away from the focal point if this thread.

    Occupational hazards for a Heeler

    This Heeler here is fortunately still alive. She has a habit of trying to herd various things from trash cans, grills, tractor tires. She's better about not going moving vehicles now but still have watch her. When she was a couple years old, I was coming out of the field in a tractor and my wife...

    Occupational hazards for a Heeler

    Had Brittany once that was riding with me in the truck through the pasture. He saw squirrel and jumped out of the moving truck he hit the ground, must have knocked the wind out of him. He laid their motionless for a bit then jumped to his feet and took back off after the squirrel.

    Variety is the spice of life.

    Good looking cattle. The variety looks somewhat familiar.

    My rant for the day

    That's a lot of what I was trying to say, there is work to be done on all of them, and parts availability and dealership competency is a major factor. Our closest New Holland/Massey Ferguson dealer is a cesspool. The nearest Kubota dealer looks to be in disarray. The John Deere dealer seems to...

    My rant for the day

    I’ll agree with that assessment, and I’ve always thought that way about the Hohn Deeres too, but it was the best option out of a field of no so good ones. If the Kubota dealer had of had anything at the time we were looking they would have been a serious consideration, as I’ve heard mostly...

    My rant for the day

    I'll agree with you, that any of them can be good or junk. My 3000 Ford has been a great little tractor, and the Ford 5600 that we used to have was a good solid problem free tractor too, then it got sold to buy the 7710 the big blue lemon as I called it. From what several people have told me was...

    My rant for the day

    Thing that I see about tractor brands is that parts availability and dealership service is a priority. For years, I said I’d never have a John Deere. Had and still use a Ford 3000 some. Those models have been good machines. The Ford 7710 that we got practically new with just a few hours on it...

    Occupational hazards for a Heeler

    That’s how Jip here is too, she’s been rolled and flipped. She yelps then she growls and goes right back.
