Lol, very true. I’ve had dexter, longhorn and black angus, and at the end of the day, all calves are just cute.

Had four calves born this year already, one was stillborn premature, bummer for sure. But other three have been healthy. Had one born this morning and I think it’s possibly the most unique cutest one yet. Our herd is all white face heifers and bull. What do you think? The blackberry one you have...

Yeah the ones my son hauls start out as the big 1200+ pound square bales, they have a massive press on-site that they re-compress the bales into smaller ones . I know they have had bales break open inside the container and it literally will blow the wall out. There’s several companies in our...

I know the place my son works for gets it’s hay products from dozens of different farmers over a very large part of Oregon. They spend the summers sending drivers all over to haul the stuff to storage until it gets sent overseas. Now I can tell you that I would not feed the stuff to my own...

I can verify that there are always stacks of them in the Seattle and Tacoma area. Lol, my son drives from a hay yard in Oregon to the ports of Seattle and Tacoma daily to deliver shipping containers of hay that are sent to Korea, Japan and other parts of that world. I guess they pay a premium...

I’m in Oregon in Salem and I’m paying the same type of convenience fee as well. I haven’t filled the tank recently but the last time I did it was only an additional .55 per gallon. Though the company has changed ownership recently so they may have raised the cost since then.

Bale spear(used every few days) loader bucket, pallet forks.

In all human affairs there are efforts and there are results, and the strength of the effort is the measure of the result. You will become as small as your controlling desire; as great as your dominant aspiration. (Both quotes from James Allen) A nickel holding up a dollar If you’re going to...

Go to Hagerty valuation tool webpage, they offer the ability to look up the value by the vin number. This gives you a solid starting point. All they do is classic car insurance and evaluation.

We have an F250 with 7.3 it’s got 350k miles on it, pulls everything we put behind it with power to spare. We have an F350 with the 6.0 in it pulls everything as well with copious amount of power to spare. Both are SRW and when we put our 30’ gooseneck on them, they power wise pull fine but beg...

I can agree they are the only game in town, they used to do wild game processing during hunting season but had to drop those customers to keep up with the farm demand. I’ve used the same mobile slaughter guy and butcher for 15 years at least, so I know that the butcher subs out two different...

Just had two of my cattle slaughtered, last year the mobile butcher was charging $120 per head and the butcher was .70 a pound cut/wrapped. Which was up from the year before at $100 a head and .58 a pound cut/wrapped. Yesterday the mobile slaughter was $150 a head and the butcher is $1.00 a...

Yeah we saw this coming, so both my sons went down and got their dmv CDL permits to get grandfathered in. My one son is taking his final test this Saturday. They both got their doubles, triples, hazmat, and a couple others.

Yeah, you read that right. It’s sad that that’s what is/was considered to be a decent price for a roll of hay. Even for seasonal prices when hay was getting limited to what people had put up in the barn and where selling for must have must get prices it’s never gone over $60 a roll. Usually...

I’m in the northern part of Oregon, about fifty miles from the coastline. There’s a company down the road from me that trucks in tens of thousands of tons of the large ton square bales, they then compress them even more and send them to shipping containers to send overseas. Their volume has...

I was checking out the local listings today on Craigslist for farmers selling hay in my area, even though I have a couple guys I go to regularly when I need to get hay for the herd. I buy the round bales of course, as I am sure most if not everyone here that’s not growing their own hay does, and...

Lol. My wife wanted a pony back in the day because she grew up with one as a kid she and her sisters rode around. So because our boys were young we got a ping, that turned into getting a second one. They loved to ride them around, but the promise of helping to train, maintain, etc quickly became...

Like I mentioned in a different post we just ordered a 2022 Jeep Wrangler as it was a better deal than buying a used overpriced one. When we went to stealerships they had next to nothing new on the lots, used ones were asking 5k over kbb, we looked at a bare bones Jeep gladiator before New...

Ours is a 14 day hang time as well. One time we had to use a different slaughter guy, it took him two shots to drop the steer, at 20 feet away. When we went to pick the meat up on a steer that was huge, he comes out with two boxes of meat for an entire steer. That he hand carried out, he knew...

We test drove two weeks ago that looked exactly like yours, had a bit more mileage on it. Same color, 3.5” lift kit 35” tires. I think it was the Rubicon edition. They were asking the same $42k for it as well. Her and my son went down and had one ordered and built from the factory, she got a...
