Sounds good. I am planning on stockpiling a field next fall for next winter. Thanks for the input.

I'm in Eggleston about 20 minutes from Blacksburg.

I have never used corn stock bales, but I saw some for sale. Do you have to grind those, or can you just roll them out? I don't have stockpiled fescue, but that is one if my goals for next year. Also how many pounds per day per head do you feed for average hay?

Looking for input regarding winter feeding my cow calf pairs. I have a small herd of 25 mama cows. I feed hay but would like to supplement with something that keeps weight on over winter without stressing them. I have used commodity mix and 3way from my local southern states but it seems to...

I think that it depends of the goals for your operation. I was looking today for a chart that helped me understand which brands of vaccines covered which organisms. I found the PDF below and thought it was helpful. We have cow-calf set up. Cows: respiratory combo vaccine and clostridial combo...

Congrats Sky....Sounds like a good deal :)

I like him too. I wanted to order semen on him. My ABS rep said he was currently on back order. I plan to use him when I can get him. I also used Bruiser on a few of our heifers this year. Not sure if they stuck yet. Preg check in Feb. The 89# does seem a little high. I just looked at his...

Looks yummy! Nice work Sky....I hope to put an orchard in this fall.

I know I need lime. I see that stuff everywhere by winter. I just borrowed a corer for soil testing. I will have to lime small sections at a time $$$

I have heard that they do. I don't believe it harms them, but I don't have any personal experience with it.

I am certainly happy it is looking much greener here now and grass is growing. I managed to get buy without buying more hay, but I had to give them a little grain to keep them happy too. I think next year we will try to stockpile additional acreage and keep a few extra rounds on hand just in...

Sorry to hear about the loss of your family's calf. I hope that next year about this time your can tell us about the success of Daisey #34's next calf. Hang in there.
