hello neighbor. we are now over in Okemah. maybe one day we will meet at the sale in bristow.

nope it is a 40 year fixed

ok I see why that's confusing. there should be a space between the on and the 4. the one heifer weighed 470 not 1470. sorry for the confusion. the 250lb calves were born late summer and early fall. I am not sure why they did not gain more but I am hoping it is due in large part to being from...

our land payment was coming due in 90 days, and the calves were already on the trailer to be moved to the new place. i figured since the prices seem to be up lately i would just sell them. maybe i should have grazed them a little longer for more weight but then if prices dropped some it might be...

we are in oklahoma and sold them locally in the city. as for clearing fence line it is mostly by hand. i have a stihl saw and a little 40hp tractor 4x4 with a loader bucket. we then pound 3in well pipe in the ground with a kencove hydraulic pounder and install 5 or 6 strands of barbwire on used...

What plans do you guys have for winter feeding programs? For simplicity and comparison lets keep it to Oklahoma, Texas, and Kansas. To come up with data that might be able to apply to everyone lets produce the results as they apply to ten head. Example: 10hd x 2bales a week x 14 weeks of winter...

way to go Cross-7! that is impressive. Maybe someday we will be in that position. Bigfoot: off-farm income WILL NOT count against you.

The reason USDA loans are attractive is that the interest rates are 2.8%-3.5%. That is way less than a bank or credit union will do. They were 6.5%. plus the loans are due monthly they are due once a year from when you close the deal. So we pay $146 at 3.5% for 40 yr = $6700 a year. The cattle...

I am not sure I understand what the above comment is about, but as a recent USDA loan applicant I will weigh in. My wife and I got a beginner farm loan through the USDA for operating. We also have one in the works to purchase 110 acres at $1350/ac for a total of $146,880 for the land. We will...

Maybe not organic certified but grass fed and chemical-free we eat our beef and sell it as a healthy product.I sure would not drink diesel fuel. What have you tried?

what, if any, is the concern with the cattle absorbing diesel through their skin?
