I quit in the 80s, but since around 2000 I do use cell/smartazz phone! Promptness is a virtue! And it pees me off too No End, when I have a doctors appointment at 2:30, I get there at 2:15, they put me in a little room at 2:50, The doctor shows up at 3:05, and stays 4.5 mins!!!

I really don't care what time it is. I just want it to stay the same year round! I'm like Forrest Gump, I eat when I'm hungry, I rest when I'm tired, I rise with the Sun, I sleep when the TV clicks on, I click out!:sleep::)

Dito, BTW, does anyone know how much a bucket full of muck weights, bet it overloads most 4wd tractors

I found out a long time ago, its cheaper in the long run to hire a tracked loader or track hoe, cause you get muck in front hubs + stuck, and that aint good for seals, bearings, and that costs any savings of doin your self.

Ive got a 10 + year old Anbo 96 in, I don't think it can be bent/broke, but its sure hard on front tires when you pick up a log, that should have been pulled w/chain!:eek:

??????? https://dyno.abe.iastate.edu ??????? Ever had a engine blow??

just very curious, What kind of work do you do?

A group 30 or 31 battery that's weak, or will not start a tractor in winter will power the 12v fence chargers that Ive got for 3+ months, if i forget to charge it:rolleyes:

I personally think that plan is workable, The only thing I would add/change, I would keep the Jersey/waygu heifer calves, and breed to Angus, but your lookin at 2030's before you get any return

IMO this "fad" will last several, several years, just don't get carried away like the ostrich breeders did. Or like I heard about a local alpaca breeder that paid $30K for 1... Are they edible, :rolleyes:, must have been for the write off, ;)

Darn this auto correct voice to text I hate Google most of the times

I personally think that would work on a small-scale as far as I know. There are no Jersey Darius, close to me.

I am cutting way back on my cow numbers. and I have considered buying a waygu bull and marketing them for freezer beef beef and I've also considered buying a couple of Jerseys just for the heck of it to see what they look like, but I'm 75 with some health issues, and been hit in dahead w/2x4...

Mostly that was joke, but I think there is a place for a few J/W cross, or Angus/Waygu cross, That would be a selling point for some people wanting beef and buy from a farm raised butcher shop, Whole/half/hind quarter, or just steaks for tonight! But NOT at the sale barn!

A local rumor has it that a Dr spent well into 6 figures trying to get rid of K31 fungus, on his show farm, Hes gone but the K31 fungus is still here! rules to live by: c. learn to live with it.
