    Feed Through Fly Control.

    I started to use rabon/clarifly blocks a couple years ago. I start putting them out May 1st. The recommendation was from an old farmer neighbor that told me after he started using it he never had pinkeye. No idea if it is the reason I haven't had pinkeye since but, he had cows for the last 50...

    1st calf 2024 CharolaisX

    I like him. What was your reason for getting out of the charolais breed?

    That's per cow? that's crazy. I know they're getting high in my area, but nothing like that.

    Pretty ingenious cold weather waterer

    When I saw that video on youtube, I thought Silver had done something similar. Very neat idea for extreme cold areas. Pretty sure all of you using solar would be impressed with his portable solar panel setup on an old truck as well.

    Tractor recommendations

    I have a Massey 4608 that has 4wd works very well and is very simple to operate. Has plenty of power, 80horse, for anything I've come upon and handles bales very well. The only thing I wish it had was a cab. I too was looking at a hustler chainless bale processor and all the reps I talked to...

    Starting Out

    225cattle, how much experience with cattle do you have personally, other than seeing them in the pasture? I started with bred cows when I started not knowing a darn thing about pretty much anything. Not even knowing it I was buying one and done cows at the sale barn, most stayed here for a...

    calf catcher skid steer mounted

    I'm in central Wi, as my avatar says. Is it absolutely essential for me to tag at birth maybe not but it's what I prefer. I also administer enforce 3 nasal at birth. I don't believe 4wheeler or side x side calf catcher would work for me as my pasture is no where near as smooth as the ones in...

    calf catcher skid steer mounted

    I have seen the ones mounted to a 4 wheeler or sidexside but I'm pretty sure that won't work in my pasture, and there is no way I can get in to the pasture with my truck all the time. I was looking at the skidsteer mounted style because I can get around better with it. After getting rolled last...

    calf catcher skid steer mounted

    I am looking into the possibility of buying a calf catcher that can go on the front of a skid steer or tractor with the skid steer hookup. Has anyone had one? What did you like or dislike? I'm a little nervous about running over a calf if I use it on a tractor. Any thoughts would be great, thanks.

    brand recognition

    My question is for those of you that buy feeders. My area doesn't require a brand on cattle, but I've been debating about getting a freeze brand for my farm anyway. My thought on this is being a smaller guy in the industry the buyers might remember a brand on calves that did well for them in a...

    Seventh horse dies at Churchill Downs

    Right or wrong I believe the issues that plague thoroughbred horses today are purely manmade. We breed for one thing only, speed. The rest of the horse is overlooked in the name of speed. When horses were wild the strong survived, sound, healthy animals. The almighty dollar has made more...
