    Seeding pasture/hay ground

    My plan is to moboard all stubble and manure I have to spread this spring under pick rock disc roll n plant it…I have to many gophers yet to try no till (although I would like to in the near future) and yes the brome is by far the most expensive…I thought about trying the birds foot trefoil but...

    Seeding pasture/hay ground

    I do plan on rotational grazing the 20 acre field pretty regularly in my rotation which I do agree with you on 40% is to much alfalfa for fear of bloat…what would your opinion on changing the mix cut the alfalfa down to 4lbs a acre and increase the brome grass or tall fescue (No experience with...

    Inbreeding coefficient?

    I’m about a hour and a half north of Clear Springs Cattle Company and really like their cattle and am trying to pick what I AI to from stuff that is closer to my area and they definitely have a good selection in my own opinion

    Inbreeding coefficient?

    My thoughts on just one bull is I can select the offspring that works in my environment and still have em be all half sibs so down the road my bull selection is easier instead of having multiple sires every year…whatever doesn’t work for replacements get loaded on the trailer and hauled to the...

    Inbreeding coefficient?

    From the information I’ve listened to and read that’s how I understand it…I’m gonna use AI to the same bull two years in a row and switch to a different one for 2 years and keep my replacement heifers out of the ai calves and will probally end up keeping a few bulls just for clean up and...
