Yeah. Look at the cities via Google Earth.

Baler is 30 years old, chain drive. Not sure you can even adjust how close to the ends the twine ties.

It is an 847 Autowrap...New Holland

Wow, thanks for all your replies. I will run them by my son tomorrow to see what he thinks since he is the one actually running the baler. The last time I ran that baler it plugged up while baling a neighbor's windrows that were full of short dry grass and bull thistle. I had to pull the...

We have made square bales for 30+ years. Then we decided to buy a round baler. We liked the fewer moving parts. However, the strings on it fall off the ends of the bales. We leave the bales in the field longer than the squares because people told us it took longer to cure and we didn't want...

The repeater syringes aren't a problem at all. Only disposable ones. It is tedious to have to keep filling syringes when vaccinating 50 head.

Virashield 6L5 HB

The 8-way vaccines with clostridium aren't a problem, and the respiratory vaccines didn't used to be a problem. This time, it got all over my hands when the bottle leaked, and it is oily. I use a 16 needle, and if the needle is sharp, that is, used on fewer than 8 animals, it penetrates fine...

We have noticed that the antiviral vaccines are difficult to administer unless using the kind of syringe that you plug into the bottle when vaccinating a large number of animals. If you only have a few to vaccinate and try to use a normal syringe, the liquid requires a great deal of pressure to...

Yeah, I got this message on a political thread. I am highly suspicious that it was censored.

Got some really stickery hay for a lower price. Hay is just not available right now. We pulled so many stickers out of eyes that we started feeding on the ground. Even then, the stickers crawled up their faces.

That is absolutely correct. I had a group of cows get into the neighbor's pot garden. They had been skittish, but were definitely stoned as we moved them out, moseying down the road, looking to the left for a while and to the right for a while. Hilarious!

My experience with foreign objects in the hoof of either a horse or cow is that they are usually extremely painful. Refusing to put the hoof on the ground is usually what tips me off. Otherwise they usually put the hoof down and then limp and pull it back.

Every time we get all set to bait and hunt them, they move out. Got a sow yesterday who had pigs. I am hoping something gets the pigs. There is a bear around and maybe he will get the pigs.

Vetricin is dilute bleach. My dental technician said some people use a product where sodium hypochlorite is the effective ingredient for a mouthwash. Sodium hypochlorite (bleach) is an amazing chemical. It purifies water and then oxidizes out when it is done. Years ago a third world country...
