I’m thinking of switching bulls up from a low bw bull to something that would add some frame. I currently run around 25-30 cows but when prices come down I need to expand some, so I would like to be able to retain some heifers. What are some recommendations on bloodlines or even sales coming up...

We just bought a 97 566 round bale and I’m having trouble with the monitor. It has a flashing stop sign that won’t clear, I went to the manual and it’s terrible I did bale some with it but I had to manually wrap every bale the monitor would just tell me the diameter and pressure readings. Once...

I bought a 10 ton feed bin a while back. I'm going to pour concrete pad next week 12x12 6 inches thick with wire, guy I bought it from said to drill holes with an auger 2 foot deep where the legs are going to be. My main problem is trying to set it up we've got a 65hp loader tractor that barely...

I'm trying to find my son a good pair of laceup work boots. Hes been wearing high quality slip ons and keeps rolling the side of the boot down. This is the 2nd pair hes done this to. Hes 9 but works with me everyday and is as hard on shoes as an adult. I looked at Georgia boots but some bad...

Ordered all new ac lines for my old tractor dealer said there would be freight didnt expect it to be $100for a box that didnt weigh 15lbs. They said all there freight has gone up due to covid. Anyone else notice this or did I just get screwed

I've got a 5 year old cow with lump jaw. I got her up today and tried to drain the abscess, only thing that I could get out was a clear fliud. No puss or anything. Do I need to wait a few days and try it again. This is the 1st time messing with lump jaw. Thanks

I've got several leaks on an old pond dam. Has anyone used bentonite to seal leaks. They're aren't real bad pond never drops more then 12-18 inches, it's more annoying trying to mow around it

Anyone at the beef expo today? Me and my son made the trip, waiting on the pen heifer sale.

So this cold spell happened right at the start of our calving time. Even with every added protection I could do besides put them in a barn. I still lost 1. FSA said they could more then likely pay me for the lost calf but I need pictures. My dad found the calf and left it he couldn't drag it out...

I've been trying to find some nice older bred cows to keep for a couple of years till I lose a lease farm. What's a fair price for older hvy bred 1300lb black cows.

I was looking for a way to keep the floor floor getting slick. And ran across these anyone ever use or see something like this? I know I could use a cattle panel but don't like the idea of nailing anything in the floor.

Has anyone ever used them. I got one from a convention several years ago they were passing out freebies. I reluctantly used it today, had 6 or 7 bulls that didn't get banded earlier so I used the zip tie thing and cut the rest. And now I'm nervous, I wish I would have just cut that bull too.

I know they won't hang as well and they take longer to finish but I've been thinking of feeding out a few and selling my steers bc heifers aren't bringing squat here. The bred heifer market isn't the best either so that isn't really an option either. Ive never fed any heifers for butchering...

Found my best bred heifer dead today and I have no idea why. Fully vaccinated wormed and healthy. When I found her there was part of the fetus hanging out very underdeveloped. Is it normal for a pregnant cow to have the fetus come out when they die or was she trying to abort the calf and died...

I'm looking at options to supplement hay this winter for bred cows, some neighbors feed distllers syrup and seem to like it. It's only 30 mile round trip to get the stuff and last I checked it's free. Has anyone fed it and pros and cons of it. Thanks

Just like everyone else in my area we have a lot of extra hay. We usually sell some but I'm afraid this year itll be hard to move as many as we have extra. Thinking of buying old bred cows at the sale barn to feed thru winter, calves them out and sell both at weaning. I'm sure this has been done...

Trying to find a good way to latch gates in the corral. Itll be pipe gates and guardrail, I want something stout I can make something but would like to buy one to see and copy.

Would 4x6 post work or would 6x6 be a must using 3 rails of guardrail. 10ft post 4ft in the ground.

I'm losing a hay farm lease this fall. Has been planted in grass it finally played out. We drilled wheat this fall but got a hard freeze as it was sprouting and I'm afraid it killed it. Trying to find something to plant for one more hay season, I planted some in teff last year it yielded good...

My grandad had his 2nd calf in 3 years born completely blind. He only has 8 or 9 cows so this is a very small sample group. He doesnt put out mineral or salt just hay in the winter grass in the summer. I've read about vitamin a deficiency could cause it. Is there anything else that could...
