My 8 year old son really likes Brahman cattle. Recently a local sale barn advertised a few head of heifers to be in the sale. I went thinking that I could bring one home for him. I figured it would be an easy way for him to spot his cow and that we could keep the heifers out of it and slowly...

Next month I will be traveling to Bryan to pick up a Gooseneck trailer. I know several of you are from the area, I am wanted some opinions on a good local bbq and or steakhouse. I may spend a night or two around the area so if there is anything you would recommend seeing I would appreciate...

My go to boots for the past few years have been Double H and Thorogood. They work good for me and last a while but seem to take forever to break them in. I have thought about trying a pair of custom boots like Beck Boots, but I don't know if I can justify the cost. Anyone here have any...

I live in Alabama, not too far from Tennessee. I often see ads for bulls, equipment, and ect. that say TAEP certified or approved. I was curious and did an little research, but was interested in hearing from farmers in Tennessee about how this program works and if other states have things like...

I am currently looking at an ez trail bale carrier/feeder. I have never seen one in person but looked online and the concept seems great. I am curious if anyone has used one or even seen one. Also what are opinions on using bale feeders? I am looking to put this in a more remote location so I...

I have a field that is crossed fenced with a decent barbed wire fence in place. I would like to add some strands of electric fence to it and try to fence line wean some calves. I was looking for suggestions on how many hot wires I need to add and at what height you would recommend. Thanks!

I am a little behind on getting fertilizer out and was hoping to today. Weather man is calling for 2 inches of rain total over a 2.5 day period. Would most recommend continuing with fertilizing plans or would I be washing my money downstream. Thanks in advance.

I have been researching cattle trailers for a while and have gotten some good information and suggestions on here. I originally wanted a Big Bend, but after calling twice and sending two emails and never getting a response back I decided that was not the place for me. Someone had suggested...

I am looking at cattle trailers, and can see where a 3/4 top trailer could be very useful. However, I am concerned about animals trying to climb or jump out. Does anyone have any experience with these types and is that a problem?

Just wanted to hear opinions and critique about this calf. He is about 7 months old and I would guess 550-600 lbs. Would anyone consider keeping him to see how he turns out or would he be better as beef? Thanks

Can anyone tell me how long MultiMin 90 can be stored after opening the bottle? I am planning on retaining about 20 heifers this year and decided I would try it on several and see how it did. Thanks

My brother in law and I are planning a short trip to San Antonio/Austin, to celebrate his 30 birthday. It is kind of spur of the moment, but we will be flying into San Antonio staying one night then heading to Austin for two nights then flying back out of San Antonio. We will have a rental...

I am curious to everyones thoughts on the prices of bulls this fall. I was planning on going to a sale in a couple of weeks and hoping to bring a bull home, but my rule of thumb has always been paying about the value of 3 to 4 steers. For me, at this point, that would be $1,500-$2,000. From...

I have been looking over a catalog for a Gelbvieh/Angus sale. Some of the bulls are noted as red carriers, some as homozygous black, and some as double black. If a double black was bred to red cows, would the percentage of black calves be higher than 50/50?

I saw these online and they look really nice, just wanted to know if anyone has had any experience with them. Thanks

Wanted to get opinions on brands of cattle prods and longevity. I have had a couple of Green ones and my last was a Dura Prod, but they just don't seem to last as long as I feel like they should. I feel like I only get a couple of years service before they just quit working. Is this the norm...

I have a Case 95C tractor and the wheels are set to the most narrow track. I have liquid in the tires and rear weights, but I still feel a little uneasy on hill sides. I have talked to a few people personally and have gotten mixed advice on widening the wheels. I just wanted to see what most...

I am looking for a way to protect the seat of my tractor. Does anyone have a suggestion or a link to a protective custom, or universal seat cover?

I am in the beginning stages of looking for a new tractor and so far I like the Case 85C. Does anyone on here have any experiences with them? if so what did you think? Also open to any suggestions on a different brand. I am really wanting to stay in the 85hp engine / 70 hp pto range. Thanks in...

I have seen a couple online but thought I would ask here. Have any of you made any feeders out of this? The ones that I have seen use 24" double walled smooth inside pipe cut longways making two 20 foot long feeders. With tires at the ends and a couple in the middle for support. I wonder how...
