Just a guess on my part but looks like something got stuck in the lower portion of the eye which then led to the swelling and maybe infection, rather than an acute injury. thankful I've not seen that before. How'd you treat the previous cows did they heal up alright?

55 series may be slightly different than my 4450 but did you hinge the roof up to get at the motors? If you tilt the roof up ( I believe it's two 15/16 head bolts and Philips from underneath) you should have full access to the blower assembly as well as all the cab light wiring. I would pull...

What are the prices like currently out your way on cull cows and feeders? I know there's been a lot of pot loads lined up. I'm over in Virginia, prices are strong here I'm seeing 5 wt feeders just over $2 again, flashback to 2014.

I caged the brakes It sat where it was for about 10 or 15 years, just need to move it across the farm probably about a mile or so

The reason most the cattle lost were probably black is because most the steers in the feedlot are black. Has a lot more to do with housing and abnormal weather than color. If we're saying black hided cattle perform worse in the summer, presumably because of an increased heat transfer through...

For my money Mirafount is the only way to go, the 4-balls were around $800 6-ball $1,200. Too much stuff going on during the winter to have to worry about waterers freezing these waterers you can put in and forget about.

So how many out there have had trouble with bloat on clover and when do you start to worry about it? Some fields we're drowning in it white clover, crimson clover, hop clover, red clover as far as the eye can see. Tiss the legume season, but most will easily stick around all summer. Some...
