I'm having one cow that is pushing very hard but not like she is trying to calve. It looks like it's coming more from her anus that her vagina. She strains hard and then goes and lays down away from the rest of the herd. She will still come to feed but she goes and says down afterward. Has...

What is grass country going for in your area, and what are the stocking rates?

As far as diesels go the only manual that I would get would have to be a dodge. They just seem to have alot more power and torc behind their manual trannys. The other two have good auto trannys any way. Other than that its really personal preferance. They all have their downfalls. Fords 7.3 were...

One more question is what do you guys usually run your air bags on. I have been driving without a load at 10 - 13 lbs. Is this about right. Thanks Matthew kane

Well I got my air bags put on my truck. It was a little bit of a pain in the a$$ because of my B&W hitch but we got it done, and I'm really happy with them. Thanks for all the input. Kane

Thanks Hayray. He is really starting to get the hang of it. He is very responcive to every thing. It only takes about three times to make a habit with him. Thanks Kane

I was wanting to beef up my suspension on my half ton dodge, and wondering what you guys imput was on the best and most cost efficent way. I was looking into air bags. I have a 14' gooseneck trailer that has axle plasement pretty far back. I was looking into 2500 lb of weight on air bags is that...

Well it ended up being the trailer brakes. They were rubbing on the driver side and were already worn off on the passenger. Thanks Kane

When I was pulling my stock trailer yesterday I pulled over to get fuel. When I got out I noticed a burning smell like I had smoked my brakes a little bit. I walked back to the trailer and noticed that my wheel and hub where very hot on the driver side, and warm on the passenger side. I was...

Hey guys got a training question for all you trainers out there. I bought a colt today and he rides pretty nice. He knows about neck reining and will move off your leg bet you have to guide him through the spins and rollbacks. What is the next step in the training prossess to get him moving like...
