I can tell you right now I will not be paying for any fertilizer. This would just be a straight I take the hay and he gets a check. If he fertilizes he may get a bigger check from me but the less he fertilizes the less money he will get from me. I know if I was paying for fertilizer I would...

Shorty Not a bad idea. I do quite a few shares on 1/3, 2/3 and like doing it that way. I never thought about just paying him for his third.

I think hay is worth quite a bit more up here(minnesota) than it is around you Angus Cowman? correct me if I am wrong. This hay should be worth at least $50 this summer maybe even quite a bit more depending on what is going on with hay supply. I would be selling and feeding this hay. I really...

I was wondering what you guys think grass hay is worth per bale out in the field. I have a guy that would like me to bale his grass hay. He does not want the hay and I am wondering what I should pay him per bale. The grass is mostly brome and has not been hayed for a couple years. I was...

I thought I would post a couple pictures for you guys to give an opinion on. I am wondering what you guys think of these two first calf heifers. We started calving two weeks ago and these two are a couple of my favorite heifers. This one is out of my favorite cow and thought she would make a...

Calves are looking good for the nasty wet/snowing "spring" we have been having. Funny you have been having quite a few bull calves. We just started calving two weeks ago and have had 8 heifers and no bulls. Hope that will start to turn around. Good luck with the rest of your calving.

It has been a rough spring for calving here in MN. If you have buildings to calve in not too big of a deal but guys who are calving on pasture and lots have been loosing more calves than they normally do. We still have snow on the ground with some rain tonight turning over to more snow. Lots...

Well I thought I would post this in the beginners forum because we all have heard and/or know better about keeping equipment in the pasture. This morning went out the do chores and found my bull dead in the pasture. He had gotten his head stuck in a field digger I was keeping out there and...

I was looking at some bred angus that are out of pharo cattle genetics and I am wondering what you guys think of those genetics. I was doing some reading on them and I like what I hear. Thanks

I took a couple new pictures of that bull and a couple of steers out of him. Maybe I changed a few of your minds but maybe not, thats ok. The storie out of him is I bought him to breed some heifers since my herd bull I normaly used was really too big for heifers. Well my herd bull last spring...

Are any of you guys up north still icefishing or have you called it quits for the year. I have been out a few times the last couple weeks only fishing for crappies, sunnies and perch right now. There is still plenty of ice out there even though the last few days have been warm. Still easily...

Use it just like regular burger. We use it in alot of different hotdish recipies also chili and spagetti. It can be dry especally for making hamburgers. We always grind up our deer burger with something like 1/4 or so of pork or beef fat.
