    Cattle Sprayer Trailer

    They look pretty suspicious of it. Did you get them to use it yet?

    Bottle calf! Some say I'm crazy...

    Is that the one you took to town for the parade?

    Looking for brutal honesty on a no-weld pipe fence design (CAD attached)

    The first one would work for holding the horizontal pipe on H braces, but have to turn it 90* from the way you have it drawn. I use 2-7/8" pipe posts with 2-3/8" horizontal beam. My main concern would be cost. We have been under red flag warnings most months here, so a strong no-weld...

    Standard time, daylight savings time........

    It will not accomplish anything except that you will not have to tinker with your clocks that aren't attached to the internet.

    Are Most Producers Inefficient?

    My observation on our BLM allotment is that cows are likely not milking much by September/October, which is why they can hold themselves together in this type of environment.

    Fat, twins , both?

    We had ol #644 that looked like that on pasture barely bred. She just ran around full to the brim if the feed was there.

    Southern Boys better slow down

    Old US 30 through Rock River and Medicine Bow is an alternate route and is where all the locals advised to build I-80 back in the 1960s, but the feds went with the higher elevation and even windier route because it is more scenic. There is about 30-40 miles of divided highway on US 30. If they...

    Southern Boys better slow down

    Slow pokes are almost as dangerous as too fast and at huge risk of being rear ended by somebody not paying attention. Just move with the prevailing traffic speed for Pete's sake.

    Southern Boys better slow down

    That highway needs to be a 4-lane divided highway. When I run up to Fremont County it is always a dilemma of whether to risk my life on I-80 to Rawlins or U.S. 26 between Casper and Shoshoni.

    Southern Boys better slow down

    Several bad accidents in Wyoming with drivers plowing into stopped traffic at construction zones this year. The other big one is foreign drivers on I-80 drive 70 mph whether it is clear, snowing or black ice. Twenty years ago, everyone just got in line and drive the same speed through bad...

    Standard time, daylight savings time........

    I don't really care. The spring forward and fall back doesn't bother me. In December and January our sunrise under DST will be around 8:30 a.m.

    Stocking rates and grazing plans

    We generally vary our rotations on the summer pastures. In June a pasture should still be growing, so we try to use a different pasture in June each year. After june, the cool season species are pretty much matured out, so the variation in rotation schedule doesn't matter as much.

    Limit hay or no on butcher beef?

    Old cattle feeder told me to never change the ration close to the harvest date. I agree with @mwj on this.

    Multiple miscarriages

    High nitrates in your millet? Usually about 2-3 weeks from ingesting excess nitrate to abortions.
