I've got 3 heifers that I bought back in January from a neighbor that didn't breed, I put them on straight chopped corn the day I bought them and have slowly worked them up to 70lbs/day between them. They have been cleaning it all up until this week, now they are probably only eating half that...

My wife and I were debating the color of this cow, she says it’s black, I call it brown. She text my son and daughter in law to get their opinion and son says black and daughter in law says brown. When she told daughter in law that I said brown also, daughter in law said she knew she was right...

I have an old squeeze that is too short to shut the back gate on with a cow of some size in it, I've been seeing some used Prieferts for $2000-$2500, also seen some priefert head gates with the stand for around $750 that I could mount right to the front of my alleyway. I will probably only have...

Bull was turned in June 8 so she should still be a few weeks before calving

He was patiently waiting for me to get him out, he carried it about 100’ from where it was.

Right now I buy my feed in either bulk bags or sometimes 50 lb bags depending on what I get and what I'm feeding. The 50 lb bags are a commodity mix as well from a feedlot close by, they bag it themselves. The local feed mill will deliver if you buy 3 tons at a time, depending on time of year...

I cut my own hair weekly, not that hard, I use the shortest guard there is. Well this morning I forgot I had just taken the guard off and seen a spot I needed to touch up, this is the results 😂

I have a Facebook page for my farm that we use to help sell our beef, we now have over 1600 followers on that page. Below is a post that I made on that page to inform our followers about CAB. I posted this on here in response to all of the debates we have about CAB. Notice I didn't knock Angus...

We had Christmas with my son and daughter in law Friday, first present I opened from them was a torque wrench, I thought it couldn't get much better. Boy was I wrong, second one was an ultrasound picture and a pregnancy test. Looks like I'm going to be a grandpa. They've known since before...

I'm doing another NRCS water project, they're letting me go with 1000 gallon tanks this time. Would you go with poly or metal and which brand will hold up best?

I bought 2 cow/calf pairs last night at the sell, they’re both a little thin, one thinner than the other but bought at a good price. Part of a heard dispersal that were mostly thin cows. I’m trying to get them back in condition fairly quick with hopes of breeding back for fall calves again. I’m...

Our local sale barn burned yesterday due to a kitchen fire right before the sale was starting, no cattle or lives were lost thankfully. All cattle were loaded and taken to a sale barn about 45 miles away and the sale was back on. It had just swapped hands about 3 months ago, hopefully they’ll...

How do I get rid of the fire ants in my yard, they’re about to carry us off? And keep them out of my dog pens and dog food?

The calf that was born right before Christmas the night it was so cold has been limping for a few weeks. It always lays under the hay manger so I assumed it probably got stepped on, it still got around okay just held it’s right back leg up like it was hurt. Today I see it’s getting around worse...

My wife and I recently took in an exchange student from Berlin, Germany. It was a spur of the moment deal where a decision had to be made quickly due to the circumstances. She was placed in a home with another exchange student, a young lady from Italy. We found out about 2 weeks ago that these 2...

The old farmer came in from morning chores. He changed his ragged coat, wet boots with hurried excitment. Back out the door, in the truck, and gone before his wife could pour his coffee. What could he be in such a hurry for on Christmas eve she thought to herself. Miles away a car slowly...

I couldn’t be more surprised if I’d woke up with my head sewn to the carpet. Bought this cow less than 2 weeks ago as second period bred, had to have my vet out Monday because she had a terrible cough and vaginal discharge. Vet gave her draxxin, bantemine and 2 other shots and pregged her as...

What are your thoughts on these bulls? Born 8/21, registrable beefmaster, wouldn’t be used until 6/23. I will only be using them on about 5 head and I can buy them for around $1100

Built me a 5’x12’ pig tractor with a 3 sided shed on one end that is a 5’x5’. Got a couple shoats, Hereford and large black cross. I’m rotating it around my garden spots.

Got a little snow last night, we don’t typically get any winter weather until January.
