    JD 456 Baler

    I think he already committed to buying, maybe already has it. I haven't talked to him since we went to look at it. The guy selling it got it from the owner with some other equipment when that guy sold out. The seller has a mchale, makes quite a bit of hay, wraps a lot. He just doesn't have need...

    JD 456 Baler

    A friend is looking at JD 456 round baler. I looked at it. It seems be in great shape, and well taken care of. It seems to be a good deal compared to the asking prices and condition of the ones I see online. I did a search and it seems like folks on here like them. My question - is there any...

    soil sample results

    PPM is just half of #/acre so that's pretty simple but you have to know which one. I found this in a fact sheet from Ohio State. Your 44 would be ~59 MIII, depending on units, the Virginia Tech lab would say you are just above sufficient (no crop response from application) if PPM or they would...

    soil sample results

    Do you know the analysis method and units they report in? This is from VA DCR. Each row is the same soil P level as reported by different labs. As you can see numbers that are quite different can mean the the same thing.

    Fertilizer analysis???

    Did you collect the sample, the dealer, a third party? Like Kenny, I've never heard of this being done.

    I bet if you hook a lead to it and give it tug you'd find out. Same way with the ones with bushings in their earlobes.

    14-5-38 fertilizer

    Hard to say if the P and K will really be helpful without a soil test but that would be 28 units of N (over 5 acres). Results wouldn't be earth shattering, but for that price why not?

    Bale Spears

    I remember having that trouble with a spear my dad bought. Brand new spear and couldn't use it (this was few years ago before the current what I call "square style". The neighbor had what looked to be a piece of junk, tip pointed somewhat at the ground. I think it was turned down just enough to...

    Fertilizer question

    That's a VT test. You indicated pasture so the lab would recommend very little if any P at H- and no K at VH. If it's hay they would recommend some P. Except for pasture, VT will have a recommendation for everything below VH. It may be so little it's not economical, but they expect a crop...

    Not the best picture. It was raining and my phone screen was dim.

    2024 Maternal Gems Sale

    375 seems to show crossing a Gizmo to a Gizmo works out too

    What do you think of this calf? I need a critique.

    Soil fertility is managed one of three ways here - mis, mal, or non. There are deficiencies. I'm also going to look at the mineral. We don't have a lot of options locally. No good ones. I've just been using their better one, but I may need to go up Jan's way for it. It don't take much for the...

    What do you think of this calf? I need a critique.

    Are some more susceptible to that than others? It's more prominent on these two than any of the others. My sample size is pretty small even amongst the hobbyist.

    What do you think of this calf? I need a critique.

    It's good now. Her momma's is holding up as a 6 year old, but it has the potential to turn to coke bottles.

    What do you think of this calf? I need a critique.

    I came across this picture last night. The heifer pictured above and her momma. Now that they're both older they really look alike. Head and ears, big red patch at the shoulders. I know there is debate about buying replacements or raising your own and I get it, but it sure is fun to watch them...

    Calf with neurological issues?

    I'd stick it out if you can and it's not suffering. When we first moved here, my wife's uncle gave me a bottle calf. Cow went nuts, tried to kill it, broke its leg, and jumped the fence. Took them a few days to round her up. Meanwhile they splinted the leg and Uncle was bottle feeding him. As it...

    Warmer days = bass biting

    About 20 years ago when I came to the flatlands here I had the same situation. I could catch a stocked trout with a #10 hook and a can of niblets, maybe a rooster tail on the creeks I was used to. Came here and it's mostly pond fishing. How do you know where the fish are, it all looks the same...
