Nina Teicholz has done the best work on exposing the diet heart hypothesis scam. Wrote a book called the "Big Fat Surprise".

I'm in clay as well and don't use fabric but that doesn't mean I shouldn't have. How much is the fabric?

My redneck understanding is that we need to create a compost that is more fungal and this seems to be a by product of woody inputs. Dr Elaine Ingham is an authority and has a lot of videos that I don't understand.

Absolutely, Thought about getting a 3pt hitch wood chipper since I'm always cutting firewood and need something more productive to do with the limbs than burn them. Presently I'm piling up wasted hay and letting it break down. The real problem is that I don't understand the biology well enough...

I'm setup so my hauling guy backs up to my pen, opens his gates and then runs the cows on the trailer without me there. I pen them up in the loadout lane the night before.

I have a 20ft that I'm selling. I don't expect to haul cows for the next 10 years.

I'm getting out of the hauling business due to my job. I'm paying 150.00 for 20ft either full or 1 cow. Most trips are 20 miles.

Why keep any over the winter? Cattle are are really good business until you feed hay

What do you do? Shovel up green manure and mix it in? Do you wet it also?

could make a good compost with some grass clippings mixed in I guess.

Never once took a dime. Not even our TAEP which provides grants for genetics, infrastructure ect..

unroll it, then hit it with a tedder

Lot's of infrastructure improvements here but I haven't knocked myself out getting them done due to time. 1) 105ft apron with j-bunks so I can feed calves outside the fence. 2) took down the woven wire in the corral, changed to 1/4 steel panel wire and adding 2x8 along the top. 3) new wet...

Yes, the US beef herd size has been trending down for 2 years now which "should" make for good prices. Imports are the wild card though.

If you can get the timing right for a slaughter appointment you could sell some hamburger with the cows in the best condition once the calf is gone.

I raised 6 back in 2014 because calves were too expensive to eat and the kids expect some free meat. I really enjoyed it but I like raising animals anyway. Feed costs are too high now unless you can grow your own corn.
