Yes it’s been very slow today on my end too. Nothing else seems to that way.

Our understanding is that it was an additional 5 years. We felt like we got took on that warranty deal after we thought about it and it sank in.

We thought it was steep too.

Not that it matters for mutton bustin, but I didn’t like the Columbia sheep at all. Just had a few Columbias, they just seemed weaker and so much wool that grows down over their eyes. Had a few Rambouillets which were similar to Columbias but didn’t have as much issue with the wool over the eyes...

We bought a 2018 3/4 ton Chevrolet pickup and was talked into a 5 year extended warranty for $5000 at the time. No problems with the truck at all till now, Hopefully it's not much something to do with the steering or maybe a suspension bushing. Wife called and asked if it was still under...

Only thing I see is some rams can be pretty aggressive and dangerous, I don’t know if steering them would cure it once it’s learned behavior. Maybe find a sheep sale and get some younger Suffolk type lambs. Use the wethers when they get big enough, if you find sone ewes maybe run a few and raise...

Sold the steer calf off of our belted cow a a few weeks ago. He was solid black, no idea what he was out of, but was small and real long curly wooly looking hair. Figured at first he was probably out of an Angus or commercial black bull, but as it got older and woolier I wondered if it was by a...

Our insurance keeps going up, and a few years ago we decided to take a gamble and lower our insurance coverage. Had an old tenant house built back in the 1800’s had periodically had improvements done. Within a few months of lowering the insurance, the tenant was throwing cigarettes down in a...

I believe at this point the best thing to do would be to have a bse on the bull. If the cows are showing signs of coming in heat regularly and repeatedly that would be a cause for concern. It might be a bit soon to have them preg checked at this point, but could before long depending on when...

Praying that everything heals well and brings relief.

Here it used to be mainly Hereford cows then got to be some Angus, then the continentals came in. I had never heard about endophyte until probably the 90’s from the UK folks talking at farm meetings. I reckon maybe the cattle were more local in those days and more tolerant of it and they had...

@Mark Reynolds I don’t have any first hand experience with any types of fescue except for KY31. I do know that endophyte free varieties are often promoted and have no doubt been used by some here. From what I understand is that the endophyte free varieties are not as prolific as KY31 and without...

Welcome from eastern KY. My wife is from southeast Oklahoma.

Not an alcoholic beverage drinker, from what I have had of it, my preference was wine. Been close to 20 years since I've even had a sip of it. My favorite soft drink is the local Ale8, kind of like a sweeter with hint of citrus ginger ale. Because of an inner ear condition and blood pressure...

From what I can see, the only way to get top prices from small framed cattle is to market direct to consumers and bypass the stockyards and order buyers all together. I’d also say that cows would need to be bigger than 1200 maybe 1300-1400 or bigger and bred to no less than a 5.5 frame bull and...

Here in KY, the buyers want black or BWF calves with some frame. In other words they want growth potential in the calves. For the number 1’s market toppers, it’s always a large number group of good framey and right conditioned calves that sell the best. They can’t be too fat or too thin. They...

Fried pork chops, cabbage and carrots and store brand tater tots.

In the first picture the one laying up next to the building looks like a Brahman Hereford cross, and the one by it, a Hereford Charolais cross, with maybe a little Brahman influence, although Charolais can have big somewhat long ears too. The black white faced calves are likely some version of...

Speaking of Highlands, when we first ran our longhorn x Brahman heifer through the chute while our vet was there, he said just don’t get any highland cattle. Said he worked at a stockyards and said the longhorns were smart and could figure out how to come through the chute, but that the...

Was talking with somebody and the subject of renting out pasture came about. I've never really thought about doing that but am giving it some thought at this point as it seems like everything is so expensive and so much upkeep. I've never talked with anybody about what it's worth before that so...
