Anybody used any Bradley 3 bulls over the years, either natural or AI? Especially interested in Back to Basics. I visited them a few years back and was really impressed with their emphasis on fertility and the amount of selection pressure they put on their brood herd under range conditions...

Anybody ever come across any direct descendants of Choctaw Chief 373, considered one of the foundation bulls of the Red Angus breed? I saw that Halfmann down in texas sold a few bulls last year out of teenage cows that were grandsons. I know he seems to be lined up in some of the early good...

I'm about to run about 10,000 feet of pipe to install a cattle water system on a large farm. Has anyone used anything besides PVC for underground applications? I'm in south GA, so the ground doesn't freeze. In order to carry the volume and pressure from the well, I will start with a pipe...

I will scalp annual fields in spring and fall, and sometimes pastures in the fall for overseeding and am curious if anyone has ever owned/operated a mower that is as durable as a rotary mower, but will cut down to a few inches. I've never ran a finishing mower, but assume that it might not...

Hey all- Got everybody's input a while back on recommendation's for a mower/mower conditioner a while back. I still haven't pulled the trigger but am leaving heavy towards a Kuhn 303 or 353, with a JD 830/835 as second choice. I have a Jd 7330 (135 HP pto) tractor. I will be cutting about...

Was wondering what the consensus was on vultures preying on fresh born calves. I know they will eat afterbirth and dead calves, but has anyone seen vultures trying to eat a live calf? -dg

Greetings all- I'm in the market this winter for a new or slightly used mower conditioner for hybrid bermuda, ryegrass, and millet baleage (and some hay). I'm leaning towards the JD 830 or 835 center pivot Moco, but heard recently New Holland's machine had a shaft and joint set up that would...

Anybody had success grazing turnips, mustard, kale or radish through the winter? i'm in south ga and have relied in the past on cereal rye in a clean till row crop rotation, but was considering a cheaper alternative. Any palatability issues? -dg

Hello all.... About to do a pretty extensive fencing operation and am wondering if anyone has had experience with different brands of Class 3 galvanized, high tensile wire. Not sure if I need 180,000 or 200,000 PSI, and uncertain whether or not a name brand buys me any more quality. Will be...

greetings all... considering building two steel hay barns this fall. One 100'x50'....and another 80'x40'. got a price quote on the 100'x50' at $42k....of which $17k was concrete. Could afford to build the second barn if i could save on the concrete, but wasn't sure if that was the right long...

hey folks... Looking to replace two older Claas Round Balers for use in about 50 acres of Hybrid Bermuda. Hay is for my cow-calf operation. Some will be left outside, but the majority will be stacked 3 high under a shelter. Any recommendations for make and model? Looking for something...
