Finally, I have identified the malicious weed in my haymeadow as rough button lead. What chemical can I use to eliminate it? I'm ready to start spraying and I need to buy herbicide.

Gotta love rural internet access. Apologies

What will kill this weed? I have patches of this vetchy weed in the higher drier areas of my hay meadow. Have sprayed a stronger than usual mixed round of Grazon Next and some patches died, some just stunned back and regrew, and others unaffected. It chokes out the bermuda and seems to thrive...

Red Angus Cow showed signs of being close to calving. August 3: Found said cow with a slightly damp charolais bullcalf and fresh placenta string dragging the ground. August 4: Checked cow and calf, doing well, placenta string still in tow, filthy from manure. August 5: Cow and calf...

I have a lot of these trees on my place. They tend to grow with the pin oaks, in low lying areas mostly. Some are almost as tall as the pin oaks. The leaves are glossy and smooth on the topside and this time of year they become speckled with red/orange dots, with some leaves being a solid...

We used the AIM Vet Gun for fly control a couple of days ago. I would not have bought the gun before trying this to see if it works. My vet rents the guns for $20 a weekend and he carries the CO2 cartridges and the fly repellant balls. The flies are just terrible this year and the cows seem...

After 2011, I promised God I would never complain about the rain. But I never said anything about MUD. Gee this is a mess. Are yall mudded out too ? :cry2:

Hi all, We are going to start branding our cattle. We have not branded in the past. I have sketched a design and sent it to husky branding irons. I would like to see your opinions on the sizes of brands to use, and the width of the irons. I am thinking we will brand our mature cows, and the...

I am trying a new additive this year called Humate. It is supposed to increase the absorption of herbicides or foliar fertilizer. I cant find much info or feedback on it so I am looking for your opinions. Ingredients fulvic/humic acid derivative with potassium hydroxide. Made by Humate Plus...

We are using John Deere cover edge netwrap with our 459 JD Baler and it seems to be flimsier than what we used in our Vermeer baler. I am looking for input on what others are using. Picked up a small roll of 51" wide netwrap from our farm co-op and it seems to be okay, definitely cheaper, but...

I have sprayed our fields with Grazon Next and it is not doing much harm to the nightshade. (white nightshade). If applied really heavily, it will kill some of the small ones. The taller ones might wilt for a day and then revive. I have a lot of acreage to cover and the nightshade is in...

We want to build a smokehouse. Please share building design plans and any recipes for making your own cures for the meat. Or, any sources for commercial cures that we can purchase. Thank you in advance for your advice!

This property came with an entire setup for solar energy. It has two Trace 5500 converters (I'm thinking that's what they are from memory). A huge bunch of big batteries, and panels (8 or 10) on top of the shop. It reportedly worked for the first 3 years and then quit. Nobody knows why it...

I have a crossbred first-calf heifer that calved Saturday. Her udder filled out quite huge on the right side and is a lot smaller on the left. The right front quarter is definitely the largest and it is very misshapen, like a snoopy nose. I have observed the calf nursing both front quarters...

It is with heavy heart that I am asking for your prayers. I am going thru a difficult situation and I would appreciate you praying for me. I would prefer not to discuss details. But do throroughly appreciate your most gracious prayers to our Lord above on my behalf.

I bought this heifer in August at the salebarn palpated at 5 months bred. Nobody would bid on her! She's a teenage pregnancy and probably weighed 675 then. Now I will say she weighs maybe 725. Here is what she did last weekend, unassisted! Its a bullcalf.

The land we recently bought has a wonderful coastal hay meadow, about 75 acres. It is remarkably clean for East TX and has virtually NO BAHIA! It does have some patches near the woods/creek where the hogs have torn up the ground, and some areas with nutsedge in those rough spots. And there...

I have done some research on the internet regarding different methods of getting rid of bamboo. If you know of a particular herbicide or method to get rid of it, would you please share your personal experiences? I am going to be dealing with about a 20 x 20 ft patch of it with some property we...
