Thank you! That's very nice of you!

That brings back memory's! I use to get to spend all Christmas Eve night putting together toys, then the ones we gave them in the box's was my project for Christmas Day, I think I only ever gave up one time :D.

I had a 15 month old charolais x limousin calve last year at 14 months bred to a young Charolais, had it all by herself and raised it just fine.

Tubs are 200lbs, 20 cows will go through one in about a month, maybe a little longer. I've never fed loose mineral, I feed tubs and some salt mix. There's slot of difference in tubs, you want a good one like a crystalix, they will cost about 80 or 90$, I feed the 20% fescue hi mag tub year round.

I don't know for sure, I think it's more that some cows just aren't good breeders. I feed a lot of hay, range cubes and now a ddg mix that Denver turned me on to, I also keep crystalix tubs out year round and my cows do breed back fast. But then there's people like Denver who run cows up in...

I would expect them all to breed back. even on heifers if I leave a bull with them year round my calving will be a month earlier each time. Some cows even quicker.

I agree with these guys about the extra cut gate. I have a old 6x24 right now, I don't haul a lot but I'm getting ready to buy a new 6.8 or 7x24, wouldn't want anything smaller.

I've never used one, but I've heard good things about them. I will say I really like your idea. I think taking care of this older stuff and keeping it running is not a bad way to go for some people.

That's rough sir, we will be praying for you and your family.

Merry Christmas!

If what your calling the odd ball pairs are good quality calf raisers I would try to buy them for maybe 1400 to $1600 , they might be a better deal than the Reds and blacks at $2000. And if he's wanting to sell them in a group he might be more willing to let go of any that don't match the others...

The FM squeezes from both sides and I like the operation of the headgate better.

Thats good to hear, I never had one of those years, since then I've always thought I would like to have a 1st gen dodge cummins to play with, I just didn't know how solid the dodge trucks were back then. if I can find one I think that would be a fun one to have.

Yep, would have been perfect, just what I hope to find now. It went to Arkansas didn't it? Maybe I should go track it down? :lol2:.
