That is sad. He had a farm somewhere in middle TN I guess, I’ve bought a couple of his feeder calves at a sale barn before.

Yeah, mostly respiratory. It's been on 4-500 lb calves. The weather has been tough on them. We have been keeping most of them alive though. Went through more Excede and Draxxin than I like to. They came out of several different sales, which never helps the health.

Whether has been bad here, 50s at night and 90 during the day. Trying to buy them right this week so the death loss doesn't hurt as bad. Some local backgrounders are having lots of health trouble lately. I have doctored 11 calves in the last week and a half, and that's out of 40 I've turned...

I like several Whiskey Myers songs

A month or two ago a couple buyers I know that send cattle to JBS told me that there were rumors going around within the company that the government might suspend several of their US operations while investigating all the corruption in the company, and that would have absolutely destroyed the...

From what I understood they are selling all their feedyards to make up for the fines they are paying due to them paying off elected officials in Brazil and shipping contaminated meat. I heard that this was actually a positive thing for our cattle market because they were expecting them to...

Got three inches of rain last week and temps stayed around 30 on Thursday and then it got to 70 and sunny Saturday.

Putting about 100 heifers I got bought this week on a truck and sending them on their 1000 mile journey to a feedyard. Then I have to run some bigger heifers through the chute and work them. If everything loads good and we don't have too many problems I might watch the end.

I may have been through that intersection before. I don't know how much the rest of you travel around this country, but I've made over 40 states so far. We have owned cows with metal ID tags from 22 different states.

I rodeoed with JD Struxness and Tanner Aus in high school. Tanner won the first round of the bareback riding. He's had a good year, he won the bareback riding at the American and he won Rodeo Houston, which pays a bunch of money. JD won college finals in the bulldogging this year and he...

This one is pretty new on the market, and it's the best one I've seen. It's waterproof, the shaft is flexible, and it's supposed to hold up pretty good. I don't own one but I have used one and it's got more power than the yellow, green, or red ones that I've had in the past...

Are any of you guys considering feeding calves to boost your farm income? I've noticed several guys at the sales I go to that I haven't seen buy a calf in the few years I've known them are buying calves to feed. Some are just buying little groups of hard light calves to try and upgrade, and...

Worked some steers before they head to their new home.

I go to a couple sale not to far from Sparta but I don't think I've ever seen that rig.

All that tells me is that he made a killing off of our calves. Someone only dealing in a couple thousand head that can afford to lose $20k a week is crooked. I can't afford to lose $20k in the cow business ever. That's the thing about feeding cattle. When things are good they make a bunch of...

A backgrounder I know from west KY just sold 2 loads at a barn I go to. The 555 lb load brought 122.75 lost 40 dollars a head plus 15 dollars a head commission. The 680 lb load brought 115.50 and he said they lost just about twice as much as the first load. They said they were done feeding...

High schools are getting pretty bad these days with access to all kinds of drugs. I graduated in 2010 from a very rural high school with 32 kids in my class. At that time there were probably 10 kids that smoked week on and off, 10 kids that smoked weed several times a week, and of those last...

The white one would be a young Great Pyrenees. The little puppy's are Newfoundland/Bernese Mountain dog cross. They will all make for some pretty big dogs.

Thanks everybody. I got to spend my day at a cow sale trying to buy something worth the money.
