This has been my thoughts and why im trying to head towards a mostly red angus/simmi herd. Likely use homo black bull to still get top dollar calves.

Ive never been questioned on brands here in NE OK. Ive got a brand but never registered it. Branded everything few years ago but havent since.

I choose bulls to be moderate frames as mature animals. I dont feel that a 2000lb bull has a place in my herd. I sometimes buy or retain heifers, sometimes cows. So my bulls have to do it all. I feel that huge mature bulls cause to many issues in cows as well as structurally on themselves. No...

Looking to buy a few come Feb, pairs or real heavy breds. Still waiting on tax stuff to be figured out. Your 1370 avg, do you calve them and sell in fall? Or run them until they cant go anymore? Debating if i want to go short term SS temporary type cows or invest in front pasture heifers/cows

So I’ve opted for new Ritchies. Local company said they can install 2 new Ritchies abd replace old ones and think they can fix my freezing issues. Says main thing is to feed hay close to the waterers so they use them more. Also im changing all my 4holes to 2holes to up the usage. 35-40hd max...

The Ritchies are same. Im told the Mirafounts are more of a pain to work on. Very little room to work on them.

Talked to the guy with local company that sells/installs tire tanks, Ritchies, and Mirafounts. Said tire tanks are great in pasture, only way to go. Ritchies are best in corrals. Mirafounts are good units but a big pain to work on vs the Ritchie. Also he thinks we can still get black/orange...

Mine are all energy free. We dont get cold enough to justify heaters IMO.

Here we are a 2-3ft bury for water lines. NE OK we typically get a total of 10-50 days below 30deg so we dont really get as cold as alot of you im sure. Last year i think we had 10-12 days i had to break ice on pond.

Earth tube i dont know about. We buried a 5gal bucket over the water line, then poured a 15x15 concrete pad over it. Ritchie sits on top of that concrete pad. I was considering using a concrete saw to cut a square out of the concrete, set tire tank in side the cut concrete, repour concrete...

Nothing close dealer wise. I see Corbetts generally seem popular in cold areas. I have concrete pads already from Ritchies

So bit confused, i assume theres a line from valve into tank? Underground? Gravity flow?

Our county has a drought assistance program to clean out ponds or put in water sources. I got approved to add a water source, planned to do tire tank. Keep in mind i currently have Ritchie auto waterers. Their the red/yellow ones with balls in them. Durability wise i have few issues but every...

Thats the style if i buy one, thats the pivot ones. Only parallel ive seen is 19xx.

I have a cylinder i used as top link when needed. Bale spear and roller usually need it. Never can get it to work otherwise

Alot of Deweze beds here but few 3pt unrollers. My truck is pivot Butler bed. But dont feed with it much. Thought maybe someone had designs or specs on one before i go off guessing at it

Bull turn out for me is May15ish depending what going on. Usually jump gun few days, typically try to run first heifers in with bulls 15-30days early to make sure bred first/calve first. Run bulls until Aug5-15 again depending when can catch them. Tried lutylse one year but only gave one shot...

Ive always planned to put up a camera for calving season. I usually pen them into a large corral area with hay etc to calve. Really wet years i use a 15acre pasture. Anyone use cameras to watch cows while at work? See the Barn Owl ads. Im not that far from the house, 300ft maybe. But wifi wont...

Any designs of a 3pt design one? I can buy one for 725-825. Those are pivot design, i pefer the parallel squeeze. I can weld most anything, build a good amount, actually enjoy that part but time is not my friend

I guess i made that seem like i buy sacked feed. I just bought a 2nd portable bin so not really a problem. Using the sack feed as example, similarly im buying wood pellets in bulk vs few bags at a time
