    NFR Started

    First year we haven't gone in few. Dang sure wish we were there. Having a adult beverages and enjoying some good rodeo would be better than pushing snow and rolling bedding out for the cows!

    Discussion about Christmas presents

    I'm with Brute23. I'll see something throughout the year that I think someone would like and I just give it to them. If ya ask me Christmas has turned into shopping and presents and nothing more. I wonder if most people actually know what Christmas really is. All you ever here is people...

    Cows getting too Big for Squeeze Chute

    Interesting this post came up. I tried today to work Cattle to start to set up for AI and cows came off grass and a bunch didn't fit. I had no idea there was different sizes for width. Luckily I have a buddy's tub system in the shed so we moved that around and that has a bigger chute on it...

    Silo Filling ?

    A lot of guys here put high moisture corn in them. They say it keeps better. Some still put silage but most now are bags or piles.

    Supplement to good pasture/hay

    Mat man is right on.vfeed em different time. I give mine a couple buckets of barley twice a week and they see a pail and come running. You feed em same time every day and you come home late or don't get out there one day and they'll be bawling like they've never been fed in a month

    Dreams

    Cross-7 in that dream you at least went to see a good performer. Was he singing "proud souls" or "pearl snaps" haha sorry just being a wise a@#. Sounds like a fairly detailed dream usually if I have one it's spotty and I don't remember much.

    2017 pictures of deer kills and trail camers pictures.

    Are you in northern climate? Could be frost nipped. We have to watch fall calves for that. Maybe it was a late fawn. But if not in cold area I have no idea.

    John Deere Fans

    I'm not really a die hard brand special person, trucks don't really care tractors, ATVs anything. I look more for fit and finish and service and parts. As said before everything has issues at some point and the Deere dealer usually has the parts or can get em in a hurry, even the older stuff...

He said Ford already had contacted them about possibly coming to get vehicles from there lot in the near future. I'm...
