    pork spare ribs. educate me

    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...

    Marketing a bull

    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.

    Marketing a bull

    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...

    Marketing a bull

    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...

    Cover Story on Hay

    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...

    morra disc cutter

    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.

    Anybody have a NH Roll Belt 450??

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

    Anyone bought their baler twine yet?

    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.

    Older diesel truck

    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...

    Aggressive Bull

    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.

    Cracked hands..

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

    Looking for advice... on Ford F250, 04 6.0

    I would get it hooked up to see what kind of codes it's throwing and check the voltage on the FICM. That's where I'd start, you can spend a lot of money just throwing parts at one. Find a reputable diesel mechanic that knows 6.0's and they should be able to fix you up. If it were mine I'd keep...

    Looking for advice... on Ford F250, 04 6.0

    Also I wouldn't get too concerned about replacing a power steering pump and alternator on a 10 year old truck. I think of those things as wear and tear items.

    Looking for advice... on Ford F250, 04 6.0

    I'm not a diesel expert but I have owned two 6.0L Ford's. First thing I would check would be the FICM to see what the voltage is. I had to replace one on my old 04', really hard cold starting and rough idle IF it started. When you crank it are you getting any smoke coming from the exhaust?

    Fiber Fix

    I bought a pack today to patch a water hose at the barn. I figured for $6 it was worth a try.
