Hedge trees. They were planted here for wind breaks and boundary fences before wire fence. Now, wire fences are tied to hedge posts. You can drive a staple into the post when it's green but once it's cured it can't be done. http://dyckarboretum.org/osage-orange-a ... ing-fence/

Yeah. I know. It's a reality check when it's on paper in front of you and you're supposed to sign and return.

:wave: Nice to have you back.

I have used Quicken for years. It categorizes everything. I print my schedules off and take to my accountant. I've used the same accountant for many years. Recently, he sent a letter to all his clients that seemed a little troubling. It said he would continue to do individual taxes but wasn't...

Amen.To the home raised heifers. They are a product of my management and environment. I'm trying to build numbers so I've had to buy. It hasn't been much to brag about. I don't treat my heifers a lot different than my cows. They calve in the same time frame as the main herd. I do calve them...

How much xylanine (rompun) did you give her? I've used it to get a cow to take a orphan calf. Doesn't take much. 1/4cc or so. And Congrats on your AI percentage. I don't AI but have enjoyed reading this.

I looked at their site also and it does say 16%. My dealer told me I could cut it by 1/3 with water to make it go farther. I'll ask again if he still recommends it. I've done it all along with the cows never appearing to be shorted. :hide:

If we're here to help 'others'.....what are the 'others' here for?

I would add that a person has to pencil the cost on Mix 30. When I bought the semi load, alfalfa was $275+ a ton and the Mix 30 was sure the more affordable protein source.

I use it. I buy it by the semi load. Less expensive. It has to be mixed well before putting into roller tanks. I have a pump that circulates for 30 minutes or so then I fill a 250 gallon tote, pick it up with my skid loader and go fill tanks. My dealer told me I can dilute it up to 30% with...

I was at a dispersal sale a few years ago with a lot of OCC Homer daughters. They were all fire breathing dragons. Cleared out the ring men and swept the alley on their way out.

I did call make a few phone calls. I wanted to do more but knew it was a potential land mine.

No TC, the Mormon church bought the ranch. The Mormon Church-did not want the cows so the past owner of the ranch is selling them.

The Lorentz have 2 panels each. Two of my Grundfos have 4 panels. One has 1 panel and one has 2 panels. The Lorentz panels appear to be better panels for collecting low light. The Lorentz panels looks very different from the Grundfos panels.

The way 'I' know it to be true is a family member worked for this ranch. The ranch has been sold to the Mormon church but they didn't want the cows.
