there's a line on it leaking

Had an 03 Duramax/allison and it was the most problem filled vehicle I have ever owned. In the shop times in 12 months and the dealer could troubleshoot problems. Friend of mine had a 28 hour diagnosis bill on his. We both went Cummins with no problems. I'm in the parts business and have heard...

I have a Kubota RTV and it works great. Diesel 4wd hydrualic dump bed hydrostat tranny and power steering for $10,500. About the same as a diesel Kawi.

along the same lines.....at what age can i wean my calfs?.......i have a bottle fed 4 month old on milk replacer, pellets and alfalfa...would be nice to lay off the bottle and be one step closer to this animal being ou with the herd. ...CircleA: is it as hot and dry where you are, we're...

try seller carryback...most people with assets are savvy enough to want to avoid capital gains.....if they won't carry full term try a note amortized over 30 with a 10 year balloon. Pay them 7.5% and it's a fair deal for both. I've bought a couple of crazy expensive california commercial...

it does not have to be 3/4.......it has to wiegh more than 3 tones.....wrote off 100% of Dodge Quad Cab 4x half ton last year

You need to slow down......with your full time job there is no way to do all the things you need done by yourself or without signifigant investment. Fix your fences well enough to contain cattle, wire and plier's are cheap. Have your animals or someone else's graze while your at work, sleeping...

i have a bull calf (prox 3 months) that will run up behind me while i walk in the pasture. when i turn around it hits the brakes. is this normal playful behavior or something else? storey's doesn't address

Thanks for the input. Sounds like I will need all this stuff with the trailer being first thing. It also sounds like I'll need more cattle to rationalize the investment. Cows $3300, panels, pen and water tanks $2700, trailer $5500 (have not found used in Sac Bee or local), chutes(s) and...

I don't know a thing about animals and bought 3 mama cows with calves for yard decorations. The calves are male and need castrated. The local vet say's I need a chute for her to do this and don't own one yet and since they're longhorns I apparently need a special chute when they're grown but a...

I was considering purchasing longhorns but wonder if they are unusually hard on fences. My interest in them is based on thier low maintenence. I have zero experience with animals and want to make this a good experience for my kids. Any opinions?
