    need help/advice

    You probaly need to do this pretty quick. If the property is worth anything, then the folks who do know how to do this have probably already contacted the siblings and made an offer. Doubtful that the bank just wants to get rid of the property at even a small loss, as they arent in business to...

    Some things are better left unimproved.

    What do ya'll mean when you say you cant see who is posting without looking on the far right hand side? Every post has the posters name in the second line...right underneath the headline of each post. The far right hand side just gives you the avatar, but it also lets you look up a posters...

    ranch/farm jobs?

    Dave Ramsey tries to knock some common sense financial advice into the folks who call his show and don't have a clue as to how to handle their finances. He never said you had to drive a pinto or some other cheap car, he only suggests that you drive what you can afford to pay cash for, and not...

    How many head of cattle do you have?

    why so secret about how many cows you have or how much land you own? It's not hard to find that out, all i have to do is look at the tax records to see how much land you own, and I could just stand by your fence and get a close number on how many cows you have. (or maybe don't have in some cases...

    Cost raising cattle question

    at 25 bucks a bale, $15k buys 600 bales. If you are feeding 5-6 bales every 3 days, thats 50 bales a month. Why are you buying 600 bales if you are only feeding 50 bales a month for probably no more than a couple of months if your cows are grazing yr round? Where's that BS flag when we really...

    Castrating calves

    So you would prefer to band whenever possible, unless the testicles are too large, even though you know you'll probably get docked at the salebarn by experienced buyers?

    Another hay shipping question

    you should have received your check by now...according to the tracking info it arrived at the dfw ups plant at 6:02 am this morning. Actually, since UPS does'nt work saturday's, you'll prob get your check monday morn. I would go to western union or whichever bank the check is drawn on and cash...

    What would you do?

    do you think if you tried to save more calves, that you might make more than $6 bucks a hd, or whatever you say you average per yr?

    Sterile Bull?

    My take on the situation: He probably sold his old bull while the cows were pregnant, then bought the new bull before all the calves were born and just put in the pasture with the rest of the cows. It's not that unusual to run a bull in the same pasture as your cows year round. Some folks only...

    Neighbor needs to fix fence - Any advice??

    Sounds like if you want it fixxed, you'd better get after it. doesnt seem to bother him that it's been down for a yr. Actually, I'd prob invite him over for a cold one and tell him lets spend the afternoon fixxing fence this Sunday. If he doesnt know how, then he'll prob appreciate the chance...

Usually I try and have someone disract mama with some cubes or something, or else do the snatch and run and get in the barn before mama knows whats going on if I am gonna tag em and...

    Land Inheritance Question

    Should we assume your mother-in-law has passed also? More than likely this is gonna be split 5 ways, but hopefully your dad has some receipts and such to show what he has put into the land. Most courts will realize that land doesnt pay for itself for 75 yrs, someone has had to pay the taxes on...

    Hay Prices

    Alice, make sure these guys know you are paying $10 for small squares! From what I hear, some of those guys east of us are paying $15 for large round bales!!! I remember when my supplier went from $20 to $25 a roll, I almost had a heart attack. Nowadays I would love to see $30 a roll hay around...

    Not a beginner, but trying to start over, HELP

    I would sell them now. Why put more money in them to hopefully (maybe?) get a few more pounds? Chances are a experienced catleman will spot them and realize that they are still culls and you will still get low prices, so why not just take what you can get now and buy better cows. Maybe sell 2-3...

    Due dates and night checks...

    Same here. More often than not, I have come home from work and she had it while I was working during the day. Hopefully you have a large pen. I bought 5 bred heifers a few yrs ago, (long bred as it turned out!) and I put then in the weaning pen for a few days to get them used to my place and...
