Woke up to thunder and lightening around 4:30 this morning ; it's been raining off and on since then. What a blessing! We got fertilizer out on the hay meadow yesterday morning.....feel like we won the lottery.

What's wrong with your patient? Hard pull?? Prayers for continued improvement!

We've used it for several years with excellent results.

That's too bad about about losing those cedars......said no one ever.

I would have to use AI.... couldn't stand to look out in the pasture and see a wagyu bull. However, I wouldn't mind trying it on one cow and putting the resulting calf in my freezer.

The old bull brought within $100 of what we paid for him! I hope your right about the young one.

With 30% calved out, it's all heifers!

I'm fixing to start looking for new bull.......it ain't going to cheap I know.

So sorry!

That's always like waiting for Christmas when you were a kid. What are y'all going to eat first??

midTN_Brangusman, Have you looked at the Noble Foundation's website, noble.org? They've got great info for tailored to our areas.

When we started clearing woods to plant pasture years go, we planted Wrangler bermuda and have been pleased with it but if I knew then what I know now, we would have planted native grass. The native seed costs more upfront and you have to make sure you do not overgraze it; however, it is less...

Brute, What would your sale date be if you stuck to original amount of feed and what do you think they would weigh at that time?? Maybe sell at that point if they've gained well and prices are right.... that way you're not out the additional 6 - 8 loads of calf crack.

Several firefighter friends from this area have been deployed to assist. We talked to one and he said it was the worst he had seen in his almost 30 year career. His used the term "scorched earth" with everything in it's path just destroyed.

He's a tank!
