Does anyone have any experience with these waterers? I bought a couple at auction last year finally got them installed. When I plug it into the gfci it immediately trips. I’ve plugged other things into the outlet and the work fine. I double checked the wiring diagram on their site and it all...

I am not real familiar with wiring one of these pumps, I bought a used bale spike for my truck. It is an older model one made by Tri-L manufacturing in Ozark Mo the label on the motor is all but worn off I can tell it is an KTI hydraulic/motor pump I believe it said DO -4366 as a model number...

I have a calf that was born March 17th long story short his momma is just a thin poor cow even worse he has something wrong with his hind leg he's lame in it. He isn't growing as fast as the other calves but he's not doing too bad considering the circumstances. My plan is to wean all the calves...

I will try to keep this short..... just looking for some opinions. I had a cow trying to calve yesterday. Enough time had passed I thought it was about time to come up with a game plan. I got her up into the pens close to the chute and decided to give her so more time and if I did need to do...

Does anyone have any knowledge about the older JD disc harrows? I have an older disc and on the serial number tag it has a model # H1110 I've done alot of research online but cannot really find parts or information about that particular disc. I am finding alot of info about the BWA, RWA and KWA...

I've been looking into testing some round bales of hay to see what the quality was, I originally looked into this back in the summer when the hay was bailed. I swore everything I read at the time said wait until it's time to feed the bales then send off for a test to get more accurate results...

Just wanted to share a picture of a group of calves I recently weaned, I am pretty proud of this bunch. They are all pretty uniform it's hard to tell but there are 8 calves in the picture the lighting wasn't the best under the shade tree. Disregard the little calf second to last in the picture...

I have a question about grounding an electric fence charger I recently bought a Parmak 25 mile range solar charger. The instructions say to put 3 6' galvanized ground rods 10 foot apart. I have a standard 30 mile charger that's just using one ground rod and it seems to run just fine. Most setups...

I know this has been discussed many times on here but here it goes anyway......... :deadhorse: This morning I seen the bull breed a 4 month old heifer she fell down after a bit but got back up and seems to be fine the best I could tell anyway but.... there's no doubt he got her. I still...

Does anyone have any simple ideas or ways they've created shade for cattle? I wean calves in lot but there isn't any shade available to them and it's usually late August or early September. Last year I drove a few t posts and put a cattle panel in an arch and put a tarp over it. My plans are to...

Went out this afternoon and seen a cow nursing another cow :( I know what I have to do but it just sucks...... she's a good mama and she's raising one heck of a bull calf. I bought her in a small group via private treaty. I was told he was switching to registered cattle that's the only reason...

I have a heifer that appears to be in labor how long should I let this go on before intervention is needed? I knew she has been getting close to calving so I've been keeping an eye on her, this morning I went out to check her before I left for my day job. She was in the corner of the pasture...

Well my last heifer finally calved last night, I knew she was close and with storms rolling in I figured that would be the case. She was the last one in my heard to calve and I've been anxiously awaiting this day, unfortunately things didn't go so good :( I kept an eye on her most of the day...

I have a hydraulic cylinder on a disc that gives me fits it will always go up just fine, coming down is problematic. Sometimes it works just fine but most of the time I have to barley hit the lever so it will manually let itself down. If I try to retract it with the tractor it hangs up and...

I am wanting to upgrade to a little bit bigger of a tractor, currently have a Massey Ferguson 180 with a loader it's been a good tractor but is in need of some repairs and it's pretty worn out. Rather than spending money on it I am just going to buy something else. I use the tractor to feed hay...

I had a bull calf on Sunday and noticed that his umbilical cord area is much larger than I have ever seen before? His momma is a first calf heifer that I bought and raised. She's kind of always had a larger flap of skin around hers too. Should I let it go or does this need to be taken care of? I...

For no reason what so ever I bought a bottle calf today, like I really need another chore to do morning and evening :lol: All I can do is laugh about it I am not really sure why I even bought it, price was right and it's close to home so I just couldn't resist. Really hoping my 6 year old...

I have two heifer calves to sell both around 8 months old. Should I advertise them for sale on Craiglist/FB groups or just haul them to the sale barn for the feeder calf sale in a couple weeks? I think they'd make decent replacements one is a brangus heifer that is really filling out nicely...

I've read the various posts on here about the experience people have had with the weaning flaps, I would like to give it a try seems that most people like them overall. I've done research and from what I am reading in the reviews of the products the quiet wean brand is the way to go. There is a...

Got some much needed rain, nice slow rain instead of a down pour. Thought this was a neat picture to share.
