Thanks for all of the replies guys. I think its more than I want to mess with this year. My cows wintered pretty well last year with the 14% feed and marginal hay, but there a good bit of grass left in parts of my pasture that's clear cut timber property. But I sounds like the corn may not be a...

Sorry, left that info out. Cow/calf operation. Supplementing marginal hay through dec. and January, then turn over on rye grass in February. Will also use to wean and develop a few heifers along. Im in north ms, so winters aren't terrible and I have a fair stand of fescue.

A friend of mine is selling ear corn at $7/bushel this year. I've been buying a commodity mix consisting of peanut, cracked corn, ddg, cottonseed mill and gluten. Supposed to be around 14% protein and 3.5% fat. They also mix in a mineral pack for me. It is running around $252 a ton delivered to...

So this is where we currently stand. I think we will get her out of the pen and see if we can take her on some longer walks. She still requires a little tug every once and a while, but it’s not to the point of dragging her around. She wants to push on us a little while we are walking with her...

Thank you for your input. This was our plan, just wanted to make sure it was a good one.

A little update here for those that care.. Got the calf leading pretty good. She still wants to keep a little tension on the lead rope, but it's not like I'm dragging her. Every once on a while she'll want to pull and shake her head a little, but she's doing pretty good. We have been using a...

We messed around Sunday evening after church and got a rope halter on her while she was eating. I didn't do much with her, just wanted her to get her associated with it. I let her eat a while with it on and while I brushed her. When she ran out of feed, I had my little boy pour her some more...

That is the plan. She is a little bossy, so I'll have to be sure she knows who's the boss. I should have a halter this weekend sometime, so we are gonna give it a whirl. I have my eye on a couple heifers from the herd now that I may start working with a little younger. I was hoping to halter...

I do have her on the same mineral program as the rest of my cattle and they seem to be doing fine. She has never slicked off like the rest of the calves that were born at the same tine as her. I was thinking she might have worms? I wormed her last week and was hoping to see a difference in her...

There is a dealer here that sells Kioti and New Holland. The 7320 KIOTI and the Workmaster 75 are within a thousand dollars of each other.. I think I'd have to go with new holland if I were about to buy one or the other. Simply because of dealer support and brand establishment.

I hate you had a bad experience with them. I'm hoping that with 700 hours, all the kinks ought to be worked out. I don't work a tractor to hard. Mostly just bush hogging, light loader work, fence works and from time to time haying. So I won't be pushing it. Theres a website you can buy parts...

I have seen this before on YouTube. Looks like a great method. We have a donkey, but she's wilder than anything in the pasture, but I've never had coyote/dog problems and she has almost eradicated the thistles on my place. I reckon she eats the seed head off of them?

Good advice! Ive rubbed around on her back side and down the back of her legs and around her feet. She hasn't offered to kick a single time. We are building a barn now and are kind of limited to what we can do regarding tying and penning up, but we are making it work.

That can be frustrating. I'll just have to see on this one. I think I bought it cheap enough that I can get my money back out of it if parts become too much of a challenge. At 700 hours, its in pretty good shape and has had all maintenance done on schedule and I plan to continue that trend...

Thank you. I'll update as we progress!!

Thank you for the advice. I think as easily as she is to brush, rub and pat down, maybe ill be able to get the halter on her fairly easily and work with her this afternoon. we have been spending an hour or so every evening just being around her while we feed. She does have a little Brahman in...

I agree 100%. Dad has a 6610 with a loader and its the go to tractor on the hill if you're having a bad day. It's never let us down. Honestly the only thing I ever remember touching on it is the alternator. I don't know of anything else we have ever done to it.
