Gotcha, thank you.

allison, I have never been banned from a board. Ever. I tend to move on if I find something about a site I don't like. There are those that don't do that, with good reason. If I felt like I was wronged, then I may take a different stance. As far as I know, the board WAS created in '16, but...

frank boucher expresses interest back when you first started it around

I was talking to a former AAA guy just yesterday. It seems that his thoughts on raising Angus cattle is it is being made a lot harder than it has to be. He does finish a few of his own and ship, he's not totally a cow/calf operation, so he would have a use for the $B. It would benefit him to be...

Your vet must moonlight here in this area. Idk that it's always a vet doing it, but I've bought some that was way off the others in the group of "third" stage. Like three months off. Could have been the sorters too

The thing is, "just staking a line" can turn into a full blown survey if boundary corners cannot be located and verified. I take it that you do not have a survey plat? Particularly a recorded survey? That is a map of the survey by the surveyor who performed it, indicating line dimensions...

Chris, how's this situation shaping up? I meant to post a response before and never did. As far as your deeded acreage, did you know that the errors are thrown into the west side of the west sections of a township, which S30 is one.

I don't have the time or the back for that, Kenny. Too many of them. I am looking for something I can broadcast spray, affordably, after bush hogging. Bunch of them. I have had good luck with Remedy where I can spot spray, and with Tordon when cutting and treating the stump. Problem is, these...

I have a neighbor that calls me the other day, and says stop in soon I think I may have some information of interest to you. He had been to a soils meeting, he runs several cows and a few hundred acres of row crop. He had found out that several of the bigger farmers in the area was using a...

Do you have any luck controlling locust sprouts with a spray?

I think it would help on the condensation you will likely have without it.

I noticed some orchardgrass today that is starting to head out also. What part of KY are you in, banjo?

Yep, been doing that a while now here. Not looking good for leaf growth. I'm going to start bush hogging some of it to see if it will take off again. We had the same issues last year, maybe a little worse than this year.

You hit some good points there that I've been considering. My struggle with a hard selling age is replacements, and the cost of them, as you mention. My older cows will sometimes cull themselves before I am ready to do that, injury I can't fix, got one now with hardware I think, etc. So a guy...

Something I have been thinking about the last couple of days. What is your opinion or experience on cow turnover/cull periods and the financial efficiency of such a period? I know I have a couple that I would hate to see go, mostly a few old cows I bought from Dad when I started, and maybe one...
