Guy wants to sell a Pearson original manual chute. It’s in almost new condition but I was wondering if anyone had any experience with Pearson chutes. Thanks

Talked to a LSU climate guy the other day and he said prepare for a repeat of 23’s summer. Last year’s Louisiana summer sucked big time for most. The only thing saving a lot of guys right now is the mild winter we’ve had so far. Had to dig an 8’ hole yesterday and it’s still pretty dry down deep...

Has anyone seen or used this feeder, looking for any input. It will be used for feeding weaned calves and backgrounding. Trying to cut my work load down and get setup for years to come when I may not be physically able to sling feed around.

Ok I get these ideas in my head and sometimes they work and others, we’ll there learning experiences. Here’s the idea, I want an automatic feeder to feed weaned calves. It will feed twice a day about 1-200lbs per feeding depending on how many calves. I started looking at the factory made ones...

I recently picked up an IH/Dresser TD8C crawler and now I need some parts but don’t know where to find them, any suggestions. I stopped by the local Case/IH construction equipment store and they said nope maybe try the Case/IH ag guys, nothing there either. What I need right now is the pulley...

I’m looking for a simple and relatively cheap unit to use on smaller equipment for spraying or applying fertilizer. I have dedicated units on the large stuff. I don’t need anything fancy just something to keep a somewhat new operator going in the right direction, if you know what I mean. Thanks

I’m in Louisiana so feeding in winter is always muddy and messy and I would like to get a better system. I want to do this right the first time. My problems are 1 flat land with no sandy type hilltops to feed on. 2 pasture is open with only one large shade tree in the main section and a wooded...

LSU ag guy said that this grass thrives in sandy hard packed soil (my soil type) and breaking it up was the best way. A buddy of mine that is a chemical rep said if I sprayed it in optimal conditions that you only get 60-70% kill and it’s $25/acre. He also said that some people have used a wipe...

About a week ago a knot just appeared on this 3 1/2 year old heifer. It hasn’t changed any since then, no signs of puncture (snake bite) or injury, it’s hard but doesn’t seem to bother her. What do you think.

I need some input on options for an irrigation system. I currently have a 5500 gpm electric driven pump mounted on a barge. The pump is submerged and it pumps up and over a levee that’s about 30 feet tall and down the other side and into an irrigation flume. The net elevation change from pump...

Ok this is just preliminary and I’ve got to investigate a lot more but here’s what we did. At our house we had a colony of leaf cutter ants start devouring some of our yard plants. So I ask our ag chemical guy that works for Nuterin what to use and he suggested Fipronil, so we bought a quart...

Is there an adjustment on the 305 machine that will remove some of the backlash between the ring and pinion gears. With the bucket extended about half the way out you can swing the house by hand and the bucket moves about 8-10” freely. Seems a little much but I can’t find any specs on what is...

What’s all this about starting in 2023 almost all antibiotics that we normally use will require a prescription from the vet. Just what I need, something else to do and cost more when I’m trying to treat a simple case of hoof rot on a cow in the middle of nowhere while she is in front of me...

I bought a cat 305.5 hoe and want to get a clean out bucket for it. My question is will other manufacturers buckets fit this machine. Is there some type of standard they follow like classes of hitches on tractors.

I noticed that ours are hitting the ground 2-3 weeks earlier than normal. Talked to 3-4 other farmers and they all said the same thing. Has anyone else noticed this.

I haven’t had any yet but a couple guys I know that check crops for a living said there starting to see some army worms around. Keep a lookout and I’m in Louisiana if you were wondering.

My wife inherited about 150 acres when her father passed away a couple years ago. About 20 years ago the property behind us was land locked and I’m not sure what or if any easement agreements were put in place. About 20 years ago a doctor purchased the place behind us as well as some property to...

What regiment do you follow on your bull vaccinations. This would be for mature as well as young replacement bulls.

Looking for a pour on for horn flies that is not a permethrin. I’ve been using the permethrin stuff a couple years and need to switch. Any good alternatives out there. Thanks

In a month or so we will be working cattle again and I’m trying to make a decision on wormers to use. Last fall we used Ivermectin and before that it was Dectomax then Cydectin, all injected. Was thinking about going with a good drench this time but I haven’t kept up with drenches and what is...
