I been dabbling in this a bit myself lately and will take a stab: -being able to assess the critter quickly in ring; i.e problem vs opportunity; sharp eye - having the self control to stop bidding as your window for opportunity shrinks - having the knowledge and means to get them through the...

And watch the documentary "The Social Dilemma" on Netflix... Ever find yourself wondering how did the world get so screwed up? Or maybe how did YouTube know I would like that video? What's wrong with our youth? Our country? People? Many answers await. I would say enjoy, but, it's not something...

The reason I ask Steve, I have some marginal sandier soil types and have been kicking around inexpensive ways to add some bio matter to the soil. Chicken manure is too costly, hog guys wont give up any. Was considering contacting the local septic pumpers and inquiring about tilling the effluent...

May I ask where in NM? Was stationed out there for a few years and loved it. Cloudcroft, Ruidoso, etc were just beautiful

This is a complex problem with many facets. It will take several interventions if we ever hope to balance the disparity between producer and packers. Govt regulations are a necessary evil because they are supposed to maintain marketbalance and protect the public. Unfortunately, that is not the...

Great post brother! You explained this situation, as complex as it is, dang well.

I'm a real cheap skate i guess. I try to walk the line with ONE truck. I TRY to keep it nice enough to go into town if need be without too much embarrassment and I also drive it through pastures, mud, sand knobs, pull hay wagons, cattle trailers and haul the tractor over to the other farm. I...

With all due respect ma'am, I just haven't seen that here in America. I have been to several cattle auctions in TX, NY, IA, and IN. All have had water and hay available to the cattle. I have yet to witness anyone beating on the cattle. That would just be bad for business wouldn't it? I'm not...
