My question is, what are your thoughts on this announcement and the effect it will have (if any) on the cattle market?
Will we see a rebound in prices? Any impact on COOL?
Any other thoughts? I am just an interested and concerned cattleman.
Hello,
Just an update for everyone...the calf weighed 150 lbs. and brought 4.20 lbs. for total of $630.
Thanks for the recommendations and advice...it definitely was the right decision.
Hello All,
I had to put the momma cow down yesterday. Typically don't have this issue and the last time I did, I kept the calf in the pasture. The calf lived but was stunted...pop belly, etc. until I sold at the sale barn. My question is...does anyone have any advice on this issue?

I to have ran into issues with Zabra and gone through several other brands as well. I use ParMak solar (12volt)...no issues. I wouldn't even consider another brand and it's paid for itself over and over again.
I practice rotational grazing and a hybrid MOB methods.
A lot of good comments and questions…good discussions about expenses and costs as well. Here are my comments about some ideas that I am implementing this year. Maybe some of you practice them already or have been thinking about doing them or something similar.
I know in different areas of the...
First off I would like to say that I respect many of the opinions and information that I receive on this website…I have for many years. It has saved me time, money and given me peace of mind. For this, thank you and I am very appreciative of your time. I hope am able to return the favor and...
Good deal Slick. Do you mind letting me know what kind of deal your getting at the Co-op? I am going to need another 200lbs. As you know its not cheap. Greenville is within an hours drive and well worth it if the price is right.
Hello Slick,
I am from your neck of the woods and I haven't been online the last week because I was planting clover and Ryegrass. I have seen and read the articles from Solluck as well.
Got 35 acres done prior to the rain and I plan on doing another clover/ryegrass on another 30 acres within...
Meant to add to my post that I would charge for any welding done like what you mentioned..."do you figure a different price for welding the corners?"
Yes - I would think $50-100+ per brace depending on the size (and that would include setting, etc.)
Some others on this board might have other...
Just hired a person to do this for me this spring. Field fence with 2 strands wire on top. I purchased and had all supplies on site.
Labor $1 ft
Double H stretching braces (that I welded) - $50 per section (for digging 3 holes and setting in concrete). I had 5 sections done $250 total.
Double...
Isomade - Thanks for tip. I believe that would even use less solution on the smaller trees...I will have to try that out on my next round of trees this week or weekend. Just got another gallon in the mail yesterday.
Cowboy, good point. I didn't spray the folage...Just the stumps (all the way around) approx 1-3 ft from the ground. They sure look dead...if not, it sure put a major "hurt" on them. I did read somewhere you have to wait 3 months before taking it down. You mentioned don't remove to next year...I...
