Plan B is to sell her to some folks who butcher on farm. I'm not as good as you.

Everyone out in the county has some neighbor with a junk yard around their house.

I've also got a down cow, with broken rear leg. I haven't turned the bull in yet so likely bulling cow riding her. Unlike you I tried to get her to go through the ring at the sale barn but she layed down despite having walked her in a couple hundred yards. Good cow too, got twins out of her...

I got into the fescue problem the same way after fencing out water and installing a water system.

Had a devil of a time getting peas, cukes, squash, carrots and okra to germinate this year. Neighbors report the same thing.

Have truck prices come down? I sure see dealers lots packed with them

I don't see evidence of that. Perhaps it's because a runny eye is not necessarily infection? I've had some that lost sight in an eye (didn't catch it in time) and they then become harder to work. A dart gun pays off quick when you factor in a decline in weaning weights. I've read that mineral...

Interested in this. The market sure doesn't seem to be the folks who live around us.

I set up in mornings with polywire reels and step in posts. With this tall grass and heavy dews get I get soaked. Chicory in boot stages catches polywire. Clipping makes everything easier.

We clip, doing just what you said, keeping the bush hog at about 8 inches. Id like to get a trailer mower as tractor tires mash down grass in front and you get a cleaner cut. We also rotate and try to go fast in spring to get cows to eat high off the plant which removes seed heads, aka tip...

Forrester didn't know so I tried Rockingham NH.

Millionaires today are likely to be more ideological and not want cows. Heard of that happening particularly in Charlottesville I've been trying to rent for some time. Old names and people are paying 40/acre mostly and beating the land up and invest nothing in infrastructure. Land owners are...

I remember buying our ATV, a 90s Yamaha Big Bear, five years back. I thought it was such a luxury to spend 1700 when I could walk or use the pickup. It's been some of the best investments, we use it all of the time. Side by sides are crazy expensive, but I've never owned one. One neighbor...

Dealer stated that as well, he is an older fellow and saw a lot ship in the 90s.

Dealer thinks that, based on serial number, it might be, or someone pieced it together as it points to a 2WD 7740. However I see the "FWD Factor" on the tag, so that doesnt make sense.

Appreciate your input. Ill try to dig up specs on the current tires. So buy new fronts and try to scrounge some old 20.4x38s for the rears?

Good looking calves. And mamas too.

Rainy weather and I am getting back to this. I found out the fwd ratio 1.358. Using formula for front tire lead (front rolling circumference * ratio)/rear rolling circumference, and I picked BKT Alliance radials for comparison 23.1x34 is 0.1% 18.4x38 is 5.8% 20.8-38s is -1.1%. All of these...

Apologies on delay it's the Spring time hustle. I thought cow prices were reasonable, a few calves were separated out they fetched 800. Had a few red polls, looking back should have bought them.

Appreciate your updates as a lot of folks ask questions and go away. Glad you are staying in the black, I hear so many folk talking about losing money farming but they are also spending big money on equipment.
