    Salebarn Trash

    I wish I had the time to go every week. I would like to pick up various cows of different breeds and phenom types to see what does the best. Maybe in another 30 years when I retire.

    Beginning an operation...

    I have worked for people growing up and now I work for some people who live close to me. I don't make very much but I have learned alot in the last few years. I leaned alot of what I do and don't like about alot of things. I think it will save me alot of money in the long run. I guess if you...

    Beginning an operation...

    You could also do embryo transfer in to your commercial cows to get started in the seed stock buisness. For me it takes more than I have to invest to get some where in the seedstock buisness. I will be happy with a commercial herd. I get to do something I enjoy for myself instead of doing it for...

    how to cross a barbed wire fence without climbing a H brace?

    What about going under? I don't know how low your bottom strand is, but I usually slide under laying on my stomach.

    Ear tagging calves

    I try to catch them asleep or laying down within the first 2 days. I put in an ear tag and tattoo their ear. Its much easier to catch them and hold them still.

    Cattle Trailer

    Use a holesaw. It leaves a much cleaner cut. Buy a plate with a ball that's not removable or the fold over. They run about $120 from tractor supply for a basic none removeable plate style. I have one that slides up and down. I don't remember the brand off the top of my head. It's a pain in the...

    Ok, I'm just trying to get my ducks in row. I want to have everything in order before the first cow leaves the trailer. That story made me think. I know if your tagging/tatooing a calf and it bellows be ready for a a head butt.

    Animal protection efforts have unintended results

    What would happen if someone was in the pasture trying to pick up that calf and the cow got up set then hurt them or worse killed them? Could the owner of the cow get sued? What kind of insurance is needed to protect your self?

    ear corn ?

    It was pretty dry when it was picked. We shoveled it in to a crib that was probably 10x20 or so. It was set up off the ground and the walls and floors had cracks. It was far from eat tight. It still being whole there were air pockets all around it. It may have molded a little bit where it may...

    ear corn ?

    When I was a kid the man down the road I helped feed corn. He would get ear, husk and all. Then it we would load it in to the crib. In between cutting hay we would grind it. He had a stationary pto powered grinder. We would load the grinder by hand with a big seed scoop. We would set 4 55gal...

    I ALMOST feel guilty . . . .

    She set the price she wanted. You gave her the full amount. I see no reason to feel bad or send a note or an extra $20. I think that will make it worse. They were happy to have someone take her and give her a new home. If you send a note that will make it look like you knew you were taking...

    I need help bidding a job. I have an chance to make a few bucks or trade that towards some cows building a fence for the people I have been helping. I know how to build them but I don't know what to charge or what it worth. They want 42" Red Brand field fence with two trands of barb wire on top...

    We had a calf born today

    We shoot for the cows to calf from march to the end of may. We usually turn the bulls in around may 15th. I haven't seen any reason to worry. I think you would be fine.

    I think without an oil mixed in it has very short residual protection.
