I had some overhead Electric power transmission lines rerouted on our farm and was able to keep the removed poles and lines. I am toying with the idea of using the lines to use as a crowding type lane fence to move cattle into our working pen. anyone ever use this? Tips to tighten keep tension...

Just curious those of you with bigger operations that are using lanes for moving cattle from one pasture to a central sorting working area. What is ideal width to allow cows to travel 1/4 to 3/4 mile, probably most of time will be pushed by ATV or SxS from rear occasionally horseback, but...

I need some expert advice on this as I have one chance to get it right. I will be moving some pairs to pastures that have not had any grazing animals for over 10 years, only hay cut and bushhogging. I want to deworm them where they are currently, and then haul to fresh pastures. Most of the...

Anyone use the tubs with hay to develop future breeding heifers? With what results? Did they gain O.K.?

How do I post a picture?

I just weaned 3 heifers from 1st time heifer mommas 512, 516 & 518 lbs @ 7 mos. old (2 weeks ago). I plan to keep these 3 for replacement females. I have always heard that a heifer should be at least 75% of her adult weight when first bred. I have for the most part a closed calving season, I...
