My Dad was a hand on a Polled Hereford ranch, late 50s early 60s Double JJ. They had joint sales with the Circle M. Mr Hot Moore. Sold extremely high dollar bulls around the world. Straw was plenty deep is the viewing barn and sale ring to make those bulls legs look short. Pics Alyce posted the...

Mine would root it all out of the trough with that much corn to chase. The meal has a little well ground corn it it but not much, I’d guess 5% or less This is what I’ve fed for years to supplement poor quality purchased hay Range Meal 2 in 1 26% min crude protein 1.5% min Crude Fat 12% min...

What’s the second 1 in this mix. I’ve always feed 2 and 1. 2 meal and 1 salt.

My Town Car steering got stiff, I WD40'd linkage spots, no improvement. took it to the shop, they scanned it. "Steering- low voltage batt" came up. New battery and steering was fixed. Old battery cranked the car fine!

In my area it's mostly small operators going to a small sale barn. Sort them off the cows this afternoon and haul to the sale barn next morning. They are through the ring by 3:00. No information follows them through the ring. Fleshy or non black will get you $0.20-$0.40 deduct. Bull gets a...

Did you buy from an established cattle person or is this a Craigslist calf. If you get in a situation where someone who doesn't know is buying from someone who doesn't know things can get sideways pretty quick.

What I see real world vs what some professor says, Hmmmm. Think I’ll put mineral out when they’ve eaten it up and left the white salt.

I disagree with this based on observation of my cows. Loose white salt in one end of the covered bunk, Wind & Rain mineral in the other end. Wind & Rain placed in the bunk first so in the middle it was covered by Loose salt. They were hitting each about the same till August. As summer was...

I've pulled a 230 over a lot of acres. Pretty nice pulverizing disk, will cut level. If you need a breaking disk it will do the job just leave it folded up.

How much higher are you wanting to cut. I had a PZ some years ago and would run the top link out some tilting the front of the drums up a little if I had a patch I didn't want to cut as short.

I had to spray some ditch banks and such. Put a directional boomless on and extension piece of angle iron and C clamped it to the end of the bucket on the loader. If you can creep around you can cover a good ways out beside your tractor. Letting the bucket up or down as needed.

Darn b flipped over on me!!!!!

Look at https://homeplacepastures.com/ Family run in Como, MS. Farm raised beef, pork and lamp. Retail store on the farm, selling via internet, farmers markets and to restaurants. All the meats we've tried have been very good.

That’s about what 500- 600wts bring per lb in N MS.

I’ve had cows on my home place for over thirty years so I wasn’t vaccinating. No problems, no need to right, until year before last. Lost 6 calves in two weeks. 1/3 of my little spring calf crop. Vet said blackleg. Last year and this year when I get 10-12 on the ground they got vaccinated. Then...
