Earl, We've used BioPRYN and it worked well. The first time we used it, we got the results back and they showed one of our cows open (out of 15 or 16 tested in that group). We really thought that cow was bred, but we turned her back with the bull (as the bull had only been with the herd for 35...

I spoke with the shop, according to the mechanic, he replaced the exhaust rocker arm when he replaced the cam shaft. I don't know whether to believe them or not, the service manager did not know when I called and asked them to look at the service ticket and tell me. They said they would have to...

Sorry, I've been out of town for a week. We went to the NAILE show in Louisville, KY. Before all of this happened, we were very pleased with the Ranger. It had been very durable and always ran with no problems. I argued with the shop that the cam shaft (to my knowledge) would not effect the...

We have a Polaris Ranger that is used all over the farm. It started giving us some problems that we couldn't correct, so we carried it to our local Polaris dealer (who happens to be our local John Deere dealer as well). They replaced the cam shaft, rebuilt the carb, and service the chasis and...

Please excuse the old post being brought back up, but I almost forgot to post this picture. When I originally posted this thread, a couple of people asked that I post pictures of the calf when it was born. So, I thought I would post it into the original thread. Maybe, everyone will understand...

We've got a 7840 that has been very tough. The only problem we've had is the PTO. The tractor is a '93 and will be headed to the dealer to determine the PTO issue. Other than the PTO, this unit has not given any problems, with the exception of one rear brake seal last year. It has been very...

There is a lot of good info and discussion on both sides of this issue. Personally, I like my cattle calm. I can walk up to my herd bull and put my hands on him. He comes to a feed bucket and will come to me when I call him. There are times when he is not in the mood to be handled, and he will...

Congrats - We still have a few to go. I hope our results are as good.

We have also used the BioPryn blood test. The results were 100% accurate on our group last year. Getting the blood samples from the tale vein is harder than they make it appear. We had one cow that we almost quit trying to draw from. Last year was our first year trying the BioPryn, so I'm hoping...

First off, please excuse the mess and poor picture quality. Her feed had been changed the day before we bought her and it was running through her. We quickly corrected this and she is fine. I'll get some better pictures of her and a couple other heifers in the next day or two. We are thinking...

grannysoo, Sprigging is the only way we have done pastures, but like everything else, there always seems to be a better way to due things. Thanks for the input. We are actually thinking of sprigging one pasture and seeding another just to do a comparison. We are clearing two new areas that we...

Thanks for the comments everyone. She is a good one in my opinion. I'll post a pic of her calf when she calves. Thanks again, Andy

BigBoy2, I think I have found some seed, but they haven't confirmed yet. I know it is going to be hard to find this coming spring. I may have to get a mix with Cheyenne in it. Right now, I'm just trying to find someone who has planted/grown it in our general area. I like the things I read...

She was bred on time, but for some reason she aborted at about five months. She was held over to keep her calving with the herd. Thanks for the input.

Has anyone in south Georgia planted the Cheyenne bermuda grass seed? If so, how has it done in your area. We are getting some ground ready for this coming spring and really thinking of trying to Cheyenne seed.
