    Buying on the hoof

    Been a while since last here but your last words have been rolling around in my head. Not going to raise for consumption right now, figure I would try to buy on the hoof and have it processed.

    Ethanol in trouble

    Ethanol in trouble

    ^^^ Agree, Good riddance Cost more to produce, need more of it to produce the same amount of power, damages older motors (marine a major issue) and it has a shorter shelf life so when it goes bad it needs to be disposed of

    Raising Cows for personnel consumption

    Have 20 sum acres and want to raise a cow for family consumption. Always heard (TV stuff) the Angus is the best eating, but wonder if that is really true? Think about getting a calve, raise and slaughter later. Plan to discuss this with local Vet and get is input. Like the idea of no extra...
