    Anyone have Hogs ?

    You have to put hog rings in their noses to keep them from tearing it up so bad.

    Get ready for a "assault" knife ban

    I find it funny that they say its a stabbing but the officials do not know what type of weapon was used. Usually when someone is stabbed its a knife of some sort you would think. I guess you could stab someone with a fork, pencil, or any sharp object but I don't think it would be quite as...

    Government subsidies on cattle

    I farm here in Northwest Iowa and I do not collect direct payments due to that I was honest when I had to fill out my FSA paperwork and I am not actively involved on my farm as I am school and it is all custom work currently that I hire as I am unable to be there. I just finance it and make the...

    What Breed is he???

    Jeanne and Fire Sweep covered what I was saying. I was not sure what you have available in your area for finishing out a steer. We use corn but I also live in Iowa where corn is plentiful. That is why I suggested talking to a nutritionist at the feed store where you get your feed from as they...

    What Breed is he???

    There is no way he is even coming close to gaining 2.5 lbs a day based on what you are feeding him.

    What Breed is he???

    He isn't that heavy yet. No where near ready to eat. I'd say he is weighing in the 5 to 600 lb range hard to say on a picture but thats my guess. That is on the light side for a calf of that age. If you get him on a propper diet and nutrition and you slaughter him at the 1200 to 1300+ pound...

    breaking news::Bin Laden is dead

    We had riots in the streets here in Ames, Iowa here at ISU. We go all Veishea without any riots. Veishea is our college wide week long party and has been known in the past to have riots. These were good riots though. Pickups decked in American flags with people in the back waving flags with...

    breaking news::Bin Laden is dead

    Alright Obama does need some credit but not all of it. Bush started it and did a lot. I think our Troops and the CIA deserve the most credit though.

    corn prices

    On the board yea it is up there. However they aren't paying that yet at the coop's to the farmers. That's what I was refering to with 5.50 course it is going to fluctuate some so it could hit 6 bucks but it has aways to go for current price. Corn was down 9 cents today. July was getting close to...

    corn prices

    I don't think corn is going to hit 7 dollars anytime soon but I think we will see it hit 5.50 and hold there. There was a lot of carryover from last year however due to conditions last year the crop was lacking in quality. Just my opinion though. No telling what it will do at this point.

    corn prices

    Corn is going to go up. Iowa had a really bad year for corn production due to too mcuh rain so a lot of nitrogen leached away. Southeast Iowa had to replant corn 3 times this spring and then couldn't get back in to spray or side dress nitrogen. Iv'e heard they are getting 140 bushels all the way...

    How you heat your home?

    Geothermal, liquid in lines barried in the ground about 8 feet down where it is a constant temp at about 50F. Then it pulls the heat from the water in the lines in the winter and reverses in the summer. Runs off from electricity, along with the water heater runs off from the geothermal lines...

    How 'bout them hawkeyes?

    I'll cheer for the Hawks, but really they haven't had to play anyone really hard yet. They are good but I don't know how they will do once they run into somebody else that is good. I don't think they should be placed as 4th though they should probably be closer to 8. I go to ISU yes i know i...
