    Cattle trailer repaint

    Repainting the cattle trailer probably white cause thats what it has always been. I prefer white and was looking at Home Depots Farm and Equipment paint by Rustomeulm but I dont think it comes in white. Thought I would ask for opinions and experiences with other paint brands and types.

    Loader bounce on lowering

    I recently got a 2-105 White/Oliver tractor with a frontend loader. The loader raises and rolls with no problems. But when lowering it bounces/hammers no matter how slow or fast I try to lower it. It does this with or without a hay roll on the loader It will drop about 6 inches then stop...

    Scur Heritability

    Had previously selected this guy as a future herd sire because he genetically tested in the top 5% for Feed efficency. But as you can see he is scurd (sp). This will drop him, to a catagory 2 but if he sires non-scurd RAs then they can still be cat 1A's. He is out of a registered RA bull and...

    Good Market Reporter

    I have been watching this guy for some time. I like the way he details and ties all the different cattle and grain markets together in a way that I can understand (at least I think I do). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZMEJKtDd ... ature=plcp

    Percentage of Baron Heifers

    Just curious what the percent of baron heifers folks experienced in their own herds. I'm talking about heifers with a reproductive tract or other physical issue that prevented them from breeding at say 15 months. I'm not talking about heifers that didn't breed because of malnutrition or other...

    Cows that are lazy Pigs

    The past couple weeks we've had a little rain and a little sun each week which has made the rye grass come up nicely. 3 weeks ago before it had really started coming on strong I started feeding about 60% of a normal hay ration since there was still some reasonable pasture. Now its 4 inches...

    Unlucky Cow

    Cow has lost her calf for 2nd year in a row. Last year her calf got some kind of digestive tract blockage and died of bloat at 4 mo old. This weekend she lost her 2 day old calf to coyotes. At least I think that was what happened. Belly tore open and inards picked clean. I'm guessing that...
