I'd much rather be cooking ribs than working! Make Wayne buy your lunch atleast!

3,2,1 technique for me. 3 hours on the smoker uncovered, 2 hours wrapped in foil with a little apple juice, 1 hour out the foil with your favorite sauce. I try to keep the smoker around 250 degrees. As everyone else said, removing the membrane is best imo. I usually season with store bought...

EPD's were on the registration paperwork. The previous owner also spent the money and got i50k testing done according to the registration paper. I know just about zero on the i50k stuff.

CEM wasn't great, she's a big cow. Milk epd was low too but she's got a good bag with plenty of milk. I'm not a breeder. Honestly I just wanted some nice looking cattle, averaged $2250 a head on them. I didn't think that was terrible based on what commercial pairs were bringing. They're actually...

I've lurked here for awhile but never posted much. I'm a hobby guy by the way. I recently bought a few registered BA cow/calf pairs at our state agribition sale. The little experience I have is with commercial cattle. I'm not trying to get into the bull business but I'd hate to cut one really...

I use Lucas also, seems to improve mileage.

I couldn't believe what those producers were getting for their hay. Around here everything gets rolled but it's cheap. I guess the cows don't have anything else to do all winter so they can pick through it! Also I couldn't help but notice it seemed a lot like a Kubota brochure. They have ads on...

I use Tru Test, good scale so far.

I have a 2001 Morra 2260, it's been a good one. Parts are easy to get from agri supply, they had belts cheaper than I could find anywhere locally.

I'm looking at buying a new roller and have it narrowed down to the RB 450. Anybody have one?

Three of us went in on a pallet and the best price we found locally was at TSC. It's the Brazilian Gold brand, it was $45.99/pack but the pallet price was $41.38 so we saved a few bucks.

I don't think you can go wrong with either engine. I have a 02' 7.3 with a six speed manual transmission and it's a good truck. Not the most powerful truck but it's reliable, I pull 15-20k with mine and it's stock except for an aftermarket filter and larger down pipe. A friend of mine has 95...

I'd put him with the cows to see if that calmed him down. Our bulls seem to get agitated after an extended period of being by themselves. After turning them out they calm down.

I second on the O'keffes working hands. Good stuff for sure, it's about the only thing that works for me.
