    Leasing by the month

    Not sure what the going rate for leasing is there, but take your going rate per acre (ex. $25 x 100= $2500) Divide $2500 by 12 ($208.33) should get you a reasonable starting point I guess.

    First Time Weaning

    It is in my opinion that if you have the grass and are able to wean them than by all means that is what works for me. As some of the others have said just make sure you tell the salebarn what you have given(shots etc). Also, and it is just a thought, generally speaking prices are a little off...

    Ticks

    Tick: Look here we have us some new blood! Flatlander! Cross: Lord what have I gotten myself into! Gods Country Folk: (aka Northeast Oklahoma Ranchers) I guess he is better than a city person! Tick: We'll see how tough he is! Gods Country Folks: Wait till the chiggers get him!

    Mayes Co Oklahoma ( shot in the dark)

    Like I said before do to the fact that it is an easy commute a lot of the old farm land that had been in production has been sold off in smaller lots and that has driven the price up considerably. And most of the lease ground is either spoken for or many establish farms have swept in and taken...

    Mayes Co Oklahoma ( shot in the dark)

    Are you looking for leased ground or Purchasing ground. The problem with most of Mayes County as far as land prices is that it is an easy commute to the Tulsa area. Therefore it equals higher prices people are willing to pay.

    Cow/Calf Operation

    This happens every once in a while when prices of cattle get high and everybody and their brother thinks its an easy way to make money. Around here we call them fly-by-niter cow companies. My advice is to find you a good investment guy (since you are a corporate man you should know someone) and...

    Historically in my area ( SE Tenn. ) the first two weeks in Jan have a low head count. Spot On! Most people wait after the first couples weeks in Jan. to see what the markets are going to do and where they are going to settle at.

    lutalyse on heifers

    What are the weights of the heifers? Why I say is that we have had some get bred early like that and we let them go ahead and carry the calf. We did it because they were early breeders and for us is a good thing. I know that there are risks but if she did have the calf or calved with ease almost...

    10 cow/calf What it would take ?

    I'm no expert by any means, but i think you would be way ahead if you just bought your hay instead of buying the tractor at this point. If you really did need one i would buy a used tractor and go from there. If it were me, i would take any available money (ie tax refund) and try to increase my...
