    Clover Galore

    If i wasn’t going to brush hog it then I would leave it. I certainly wouldn’t be going through the expense and work of bailing ‘black goo’. Lol. Mowing it is sort of a middle ground. You break up the thatch and plants and it will break down faster. You will get some regrowth of something...

    Hay cutting time !

    Hay guy cut ours on Monday and finished in the evening. Yesterday was low 70’s and today it was in the 60’s and he was baling? No way it’s dry…he couldn’t finish what he raked because it started raining and of course the rest if the field he had laying and tedded is rained on.

    Sinkhole

    That is some scary stuff and would probably have me on edge, especially running equipment. We have two wells here. One is a shallow hand dug well around 16’ deep and 3’ or so in diameter. There is a piece of metal over it but my plan is to get rid of the thing someday. I need to check more...

    My scenario,goes back to my Bulls thread

    Wow a lot going on here. I would of said I wanted my money back from the get go. I also would of told that guy that said he was on his way that he better just turn around because he will NOT be unloading the other bull at my place. I usually would say I don’t pay for anything upfront but I did...

    First time haying

    A couple years ago I was experimenting with bale grazing. I flipped the bales ends up because I wanted to be able to cut and take the strings off when it came time. Those bales were out for a good while like that soaking up quite a bit of rain. I didn't have to feed all of them so the last 7 or...

    First time haying

    Is it common in your area to use a tedder? I say that because some places don’t but here you won’t see anyone making hay without one.

    What have you done lately that made you question your intelligence?

    I have a 1500 square foot deck that I decided I would strip and re-stain…..I got a third of it stripped yesterday and I started questioning my intelligence.

    A big shout out to my Amish neighbors

    We have a lot of Amish as neighbors and I have yet to see a skinny horse or any in poor condition. I have lived in a couple other areas of the state and can’t say I seen it there either. I have family in PA and their Amish neighbors don’t starve their horses. I wouldn’t say that is something...

    Clover Galore

    I have red clover that does well every year in my hayfield. I know people say it needs reseeded but that has not been my experience. I have had this place 7 years and it is still going strong and I would bet just about anything the previous owners haven’t seeded it either.

    Electric Fence Problem - Arching at Ground Rod

    I keep my ground rods and wire going to them closer to the charger and away from the fence. I would start there actually. Move it so it isn’t arching with the fence. Test it again. If you still have low voltage I would check for cracked insulators. Having a fault finder would make things easy...

    The End of EPDs?

    I know how percentiles work. My question is, what do animals in 50th percentile weigh? Actual hard number. What do calves weigh at birth in the 50th percentile? I know how to use percentiles in relation to each other but where am I starting? Is breed average mature weight 1800 pounds or 1200...

    The End of EPDs?

    Is there somewhere that keeps data that these epds go by? If an animal is in the 95th percentile for mature weight, what does that even mean? What does an animal in the 50th percentile weigh? Breed average weight? I would just like a standard to go by with some of this stuff. Maybe there is, I’m...

    Fiberglass Rods

    I suspect with more and more people using them (i think?) that people are raising the prices. Did you paint yours and if so, what did you use?

    Fiberglass Rods

    Kencove got back with me and shipping is not nearly as bad as I thought it would be for 7.5’ rods. So they should be coming before too long.
