Wind drift and ammo cost are the only gripes I have about that round. Out to 150-175 yds it's great on a calm day...any wind over 5mph and it might as well be dandelion fluff at any distance over 100 yds. It literally cuts woodchuck and rabbit size animals in half. 2600fps makes that little...

I band and tag as soon as the calf is dried off. I expect my cows to understand the difference between "The Boss" banding and tagging and coyotes or bears. Any mama who can't figure out that distinction goes away in a hurry. I had a first calf heifer kill her calf once, more out of annoyance...

I know this will not be a popular thing to say, but I don't ever consider adding carbon to my pastures to be a waste. Hay or haylage is expensive, but so is fertilizer, lime, seed, and drought remediation...which all are reduced or eliminated by having sufficient carbon matter covering the...

Yellow nutsedge and Pennsylvania sedge mostly.

Oh, I'm legit Jerry! ;)

Most if not all of my sedge problems were on poorly drained clay ground, but my gravel/sandy loam soil greatly benefitted from it too.

Two 275 gallon totes cost me just north of $6k...so about $11/gallon, or $30/acre in my case.

Agritec liquid calcium (called Advanced Cal) works fantastic for us. First application 2 years ago on 300 acres raised average pH from 5.4 to 6.5, and did so very quickly as opposed to 6 months later with ag lime. Was going to hit it lightly again last year, but the pH was still mid 6's so...

Same system I use. Cows and bulls are out on pasture 365 days/year. They never see the inside of a barn unless they are getting loaded. Calves drop like flies out on pasture typically from mid-April through June. I make my rounds during the calving season early morning and at dusk each day...

I band as soon as they are dried off... No muss, no fuss.
