We have a Tru-test system and you can't beat it. It is set on a concrete pad in the alleyway just before the squeeze chute.

0.1" here in Bell County on Saturday :( nothing to write home about. Was pretty much dry before it hit the ground

Good point on the bulls..... I was thinking the same thing. One bull can cover from 25 to 40 head typically. If you are running three or four bulls for 50 head, you can reduce that to one, maybe two and replace the others with one to two more cows. Instead of feeding a bull you will be...

I was actually watching something about this on TV the other day. The show said there are roughly 15,000 desalination plants worldwide producing something like 1 or 2% or the worlds fresh water demands. The process is a very energy intense process and typically only serves areas along the...

Water district is more of a rural water system that supplies residences in very small towns/communities. More along the lines of a rural water supply corporation. They have reinstated the watering of livestock for now. Probably got way too many complaints. This is all due to the level of...

Heard on the news a couple days ago that a couple of the local water districts have implemented water restrictions including no irrigation of landscaped areas, no use of water to wash cars, equipment or other items outdoors and the biggie..... no watering of livestock. Saw this morning that...

Did an engineer sign off on that design ;-)

I had owned cattle of my own since I was 13. I am 27 and sold my half of the partnership I was in with my dad back to him at the end of last year. Like another poster said earlier, you have to do what you have to do. I got married last year and have a job in construction that is 30 miles from...

I wonder if they will be expanding their registered herd now..... good to see someone buy it that hopefully doesn't intend on splitting it up. You don't see many large contiguous tracts of land like that around this area anymore.

I think the thing that most people are missing is that the ranch was not the cause of it's own downfall. It was only being liquidated because the owner lost his rear with other investments and was reorganizing his portfolio which involved dumping the ranch to cover other losses. Whether you...

It wasn't the ranch that caused the bankruptcy but the owner's other investments that went south due to the recession.

Yes, watched the video..... would say that place is definitely God's country. Very beautiful and beautifully kept. Made it out for a few sales myself but never bought anything.

Didn't see this posted anywhere on here but Camp Cooley Ranch in Franklin is being liquidated today. It will be interesting to see who buys it and what they end up doing with the place. 10,600 contiguous acres with a 1,000 acre game preserve, and tons of improvements. Not to mention several...

Been miserable around here. Haven't had any significant amount of rain since early May and that one rain has been about all we have had all year. We are about 10" behind for the year on rainfall. Temperatures are going to be at or above 105 all week long and we have had 32 straight days of...

I follow this procedure and weld upwards
