    New Tractor

    Bought mine used w/400+hrs at a dealer in 2017 with the remaining 4years of a 5 yr warranty when it was new. It was at the shop soon after purchase, but think the previous owner was at fault, due to the snap ring in the transmission. The shuttle shift isnt the best idea for a farm tractor...

    New Tractor

    I have a 2706 MF, and does that well. If you can have a cab, that would be nice. I have to many trees for one but heat/ air and a radio would make tasks almost enjoyable! Found it used a few years back. No def fluid, 4wd, loader.

    Old fashioned off grid incubator

    We find that if you sit with the chicks in the evening before they coop, until they feather, they dont have the tendency to chase or protect. We have been raising them this way for about 5 or 6 years. We have had as many as 40 Buff Orpington in the yard. No rooster problems. Have about 20 hens...

    Oh, the drama!

    Pleasant surprise TC, well done! Had hope, when I saw the pic open that it wasn't another Mr tc story. Don't know how many more he can handle. Stay safe.

    Sinkhole

    Just had that happen to us in the front pasture. 8ft deep 2.5ft around. There was an old homesite and well there. We are lucky enough to ask the neighbor, she grew up here 80+ years ago. It was her grandparents farm. Wonder if it would be worth it to dig it out and have a well again...

    Cull hard

    We just sell beef. Don't really advertise, just word of mouth around town. No class animals, unregistered Longhorns. Better condition than most animals that I see around here. People stop for pics and just to talk about them when I'm out there in the roadside pasture. Get alot of compliments...

    Cull hard

    I have been thinking to take it back a bit. Would like to cut maybe a third or maybe even half. A dozen is enough. We usually sell beef to locals and my wife is against selling at the local barns. Being natural and no vax, they would be open to everything at the barn..... and they bring half the...

    Post your Best Cheapskate Stories Here!

    I have money for the things I need. I refuse to spend 4 times as much as it was 3 or 4 years ago. I'll do without...... and usually regret it. Just can't justify throwing money out. I'll wait ad find it cheaper......

    All I need is......

    I was always that guy that would take seconds, instead of desert. I love a good creation from scratch, sweet or not. I'm very picky about food. We were poor growing up, sweets didn't keep you full for long.

    Have to ask, when was the last time you fried a hamburger steak, or anything else while naked? Guess ima quick learner... I was young and healthy, and was still something to look at back then.

    Pasture Pet Peeves

    I had the neighbor that would use my property to feed his cows, and the sheriff said it's a fence out state. If I don't want his animals on my property, it's up to ME to keep them out. How fair is that?

    Pasture Pet Peeves

    In that case I'm not sure what my pasture pet peeves are..... I would guess being out of water, or maybe mad there is no breeze... or when it rains all night then the flies come out until it's mosquito:30. I would have to guess, but those would be up there somewhere.

    Pasture Pet Peeves

    I go check to up on the new calf last night, I hear gunfire and I see all the cows crowded in a corner of the pasture, like 2ac out of a 15ac field. By the time my cripple self hobbled to the other side it was over and couldn't find where it was from. Hate finding garbage everywhere. Hate...

    Best Cattle Crosses For Unassisted Calving

    I usually dont feed hay until Dec or Jan and start rotation on march1st. . Got away from me last year. Dry fall was not expected for us. Smarter now. Kinda worked out with prices up. I pretty much follow the same practice and ideas as you. Always a learning process. Use a tub year round...
