Dog eat dog, all this protectionism will not go unnoticed by your beef export markets. It’s not a large step from live animal restrictions to box beef restrictions.

Sounds like diphtheria, give Dexamethasone.

Avian flu showing up in dairy cattle!

Hope you have a good sale! Shrink is a fact of life, it will never be zero. Easily half the shrink occurs during round up loading and trucking.

Flukes.

Some models of newholland balers don’t have clearance for alligator lacing.

One thing I do each year is replace the lacing gut, if you don’t they will wear the lacing and can be hard to remove. Another thing that prolongs lacing life is using the crimp on furrule.

If I put this map together I would have chosen a different colour for beef consumption maybe Green.

It is pretty darn close, I usually feed a little more than enough so I call them equal and everyone is happy.

In my experience if a full size bale 5x6 or 4x6 weighs 1600lbs, a silage bale from the same baler at 5' height @40-50% moisture is very close to 1600lbs. Also the silage/baleage bales will be the same mileage feed wise as the dry bale due to Higher feed quality(more leaves) and less waste.

To cut hay consumption by 60% there better be some grazing available to the cows, if not the cost will be way higher than the cost of tubs, condition, weak calves, delayed rebreeding$$$

This is mine hiding in my range box, Springfield Armory. A joy to shoot, I shoot it better than my .22 Pistol.

I use net wrap and remove and pick every thread.
