You are correct that it has to be usda inspected to sell individual cuts. That is why I priced it as live weight. I weigh it before it goes on the trailer and they pay me by the pound. I then haul it to the packer and they pick up their meat that they owned and pay him to wrap it. The packer...

I regret that I didn’t take better records on feed. I know that is important. I only have one lot to keep them so I had a mixture of replacement heifers and steers that were too small to sell that I was growing on up a little. I am keeping four this year and I will try to do better because I...

Ok I see how you got 5.29 now I didn’t take the second 60% for cut out. Thanks I am just learning. I feel like my price is fair. Yes I got a premium but I marketed cut beef not live steers. I am trying to get more than live steer price. I checked on hamburger prices and I saw $5 and more so...

I pulled the ticket on my beef and it weighted 1190 live weight. The yield was 702. That works out to $2.71 plus $320.80 processing. Vacuum sealed.

I want to make as much as I can but still be reasonable. My steers were 1250 lbs average February 17. Do you think $1.60 live weight was too cheap?

Don’t sell it too cheap I sold 5 halves and three of my customers have already committed to next year and I feel like the other two will as well. Both said it was great. I sold mine for $1.60 live weight.

His comments throughout the whole process have been distasteful, condescending and rude. This one just adds to the list. He acts like a rich spoiled child when he doesn’t get his way.

I agree that the could choose another profession if they were just starting out and the pay wasn’t what they wanted. The problem is that the teachers in Kentucky aren’t protesting asking for more pay or benefits. They were protesting because of changes to the pension system that would affect...

I learned the hard way one bull is never the right answer for me. I run two and it seems to work out. I have always heard odd numbers are better though.

I put a screen back on it. I thought it would keep the pickup in the bottom of the tank

I forgot to add that their weight averaged about 1240 lbs.

I sold three this year for $1.60 per lb live weight. I haul them to the processor and they pay the processing and pick the boxed meat up.

The tobacco quota system was a good program in my opinion. If the farmer did his part and nature cooperated at all you could count on a certain amount of money every year. This would have to help with cash flow for farm payments instead of the boom, bust and break even for years cycle. I...

Sounds like it went to a good home. I am sure he appreciates it. I know how you feel I get attached to stuff too.

I seem to remember a story about a group of rebel farmers and businessmen that defeated a very powerful and well trained army. I am sure it would be messy and costly but I believe there would be enough support from our military through desertion and sabotage to make the price for the government...

Spend the money for the deletes and you will love the truck. I replaced ball joints with greasable ones from moog and they come with a lifetime warranty. That was 60k miles ago and no problems so far. All trucks have quirks but I have had good service from my dodge trucks.

I planned to buy a tree stand at Dicks but I will buy it where my business is welcome.

I prefer the colt. I have a newer manufacture series 70 government model. I think you can get them for around $1000. Very nice shooter

I wanted to show some calves I raised for myself and some friends. These steers were born and raised on our farm and are heading to the packer tomorrow morning. They were fall calves 2016. I split a beef with a friend last year but this is really my first time feeding out steers. One on the...

I would sure wish I had been a fan so I could really protest but honestly I rarely watched so they won’t miss me.
