I think it should also be answered to the question if you can mix Permethrin to remove or thin ticks and make some home made ASTRO (or for a livestock spray for making home made Ultra Boss), the answer would be: Legally NO Once you do that, you can no longer refer to a label for withdrawal...

Can a state allow a restriction that the EPA doesn't? My understanding is/was that a state can be more restrictive, but if the EPA doesn't allow some pesticide or insecticide application, the state can't permit its use in that exact same way. Maybe, regarding the use of Permethrin applied...

I noticed in the link @M.Magis posted on page 26 (PDF page 28) under use restrictions (top of the page) "Do not apply directly to livestock or poultry." Ultra Boss is 5% Permethrin and available as a pour on..:unsure: Obviously it is applied directly to the livestock. How does that work? That is...

Resurrecting an old thread that came up while I was looking at options to spray wooded pasture areas for ticks. I was looking at using a Permethrin based product for tick control. I found a product called Astro, which is 36.8% Permethrin. The label says it can be used on lawns. If you look on...

When I was a teen boy I tanned several cow hides for my Dad and an elk hide for my Uncle. I did the cow hides without hair and the elk hides with hair. I did several coyotes, fox, bobcat, mink and other animals first. I ordered supplies from Van Dykes. I looked at their site, but can't find the...

Most probably she is in heat, but hard to tell for sure. If it is heat, you should notice some additional signs. She may be more aggressive and pushy than usual. She may try to mount the other cow/heifer/animal. The other beef animal might try to mount her, which she may allow. If she calms back...

I have a small herd and I went all in on AI. I went to the classes and go trained. I bought a tank and have it filled and keep it on hand. I have been very happy with my decision. However, it does take more time and skill than opening the gate and turning the bull out. To AI, you will need to...

At a minimum they need to be separated for 8-12 weeks. It really depends on the calf and cow. I believe the age and health of the calf play into it. What you feed the calf and how much matters. Good healthy calves on good thick grass tend to wean pretty easy. Small sickly calves on dirt will...

I had to spend some time reading up on S corps, but I think I am starting to understand how they work. I can see how an S corp could make succession easy.

Thanks

How does an LLC make succession easier? I will need to look up S corps.

What are reasons any of you who use an LLC have your farm set up that way? I am trying to understand the various advantages and disadvantages of setting up a farm as an LLC.

Same here. I did a small project a month or two ago with standard SPF and it was about 3X what it would have cost a year ago.

As others have said, I would start with option #2. Maybe have a bale or so in the back of the truck when you talk to him. Offer it to him if you think he will accept.

Thanks M.Magis, that is pretty much one of the points I was trying to make. I have only had one car go through the fence, but it stretched out the barbed wire a long way on both sides of where it went through the fence. Most of the wire 50 foot on either side was trashed. I was thinking a cattle...

I haven't been on in awhile, but this discussion perked my interest. I have a fence that runs along a backroad highway. The road curves, so my fence curves. I have had a heck of a time keeping the fence tight, since it pulls the posts over. Right now it is wood posts about every 24' with two T...

I would start by figuring how many rotations you want to do in a year. Then divide your paddocks up with that in mind. For example, lets say you want to do 5 rotations per year and let's assume your grazing season is 7 months (210 days) long. Each rotation across the entire 30 acres should be 42...

I use Trend Micro for antivirus and malware, adware and all that. It does searches all the time and finds nothing. This is the only site I have a problem with. When a new ad comes up, it either blocks it (then it won't scroll to the top) or it plays it. If it plays it, most of the time it...

I have been having the same problem on a computer with firefox. It gets annoying. It keeps scrolling back to the top on me! :mad:

:lol2: Me too - that was the first thing I thought of. :help: :lol2: :banana:
