    Putting the kubota to work

    Pumped my pond and using the tractor to clean it out. Was silted in so bad was only a couple feet deep in the middle. Hopefully she’ll still hold water when I’m done.

    Hay time, out of stock pile

    Does more pounds per acre make up for being docked at the sale barn for small frame size?

    There is an argument out there for a smaller frame size and that you can run more pounds per acre by having a smaller framed animal. Seems like they are docked hard at the sale barn though.

    Getting less at the sale barn

    Everyone always wants more so maybe I am out of line, but the past few times I have brought steers to the sale barn the prices I have got are significantly lower and they sell mine at the end of the day even when dropped off early morning. Can see what’s there when I drop off and it’s not much...

    Sale barn buyers

    Do buyers at the sale barn typically know who was selling? Started out with old cheap one and dones from the sale barn to get into csttle and now bringing those old girls back to the sale barn after getting a calf or two. Will I get a bad reputation from running those through and would it carry...
