I use the dodge so much that i sometimes put 1500 miles a year on it. Cattle trailer doesn't get unhooked for months usually.

More and more i think i need a gas. Or just keep my old dodge with Cummings

What is a disaster prevention kit?

I drive a lot but sure aint much of a mechanic. I need to look at a lot of things i think. Good fuel mileage is part of it but i hear about lots of diesels that only get 10-12mpg. A gas will do that.

Yes loose mineral, not block and it needs to be a good mineral.

So if the recall has been done is it ok now?

I know several producers in your area. Hope it was one of them but usually their calves are bigger. Being cold weather it will just take longer for them to look better. You stated they were vaccinated that day also. Most vaccines require a booster in 14-21 days. Sounds like you have done...

How do i know if it has it?

I had planned on looking today or tomorrow at a 2022 Ford F350 with the 6.7 diesel with 60,000 highway miles You guys have me wondering if I should buy a gas truck instead.

With winter weather it seems it takes longer for small calves to really get started. If you have only had them a couple weeks they haven't had time to respond and look better yet. You said they had been dewormed, with what? I dont feel that a pour on does much good no matter which brand. The...

My opinion after seeing some posts that were pounded in very hard ground several years ago, if the ground is extremely hard the post driver will actually do some damage to the interior of the post allowing water to get into it easier. I take used oil filters and put them on top of the wood...

In a year like this one how far from the shore will it freeze? I see pictures of people ice fishing, is any of that in your area?

Does the lake effect snow last all winter or do the lakes freeze over? I know its a dumb question but i don't know the answer

The salt makes the melting point much lower is why its used here, small #9 gravel is added for traction. Sand would be better but not as available here as the gravel. But only used on the main roads. Yes it needs to be washed off often.

I totally agree on the chains wearing out. I haven't seen chains on anything here except the plow trucks in years. I can get 2 days of 24 hour shifts on a set. Some drivers wear out a set much sooner. Problem is that traveling back and forth on cleared roads to load with salt or small gravel for...

I do find it odd that chains aren't allowed there. My snow plow truck has chains.

So different here. We had a little snow Sunday January 5th, enough on the main highway to use salt on the bridges but not enough to.plow. The next snow was 3" or so on Friday, January 10th. I have worked 8 nights, 12 hours a night since the 5th and a few back roads are still slick. The whole...

I carried a small plastic bottle of corn starch in my fire pack for years. I have dropped my pants and used it a lot while on the fireline. Corn starch and moleskin patches were always in my supplies.

I thought everyone on this forum were billionaires. Am i hanging out with poor folks? I have owned a few cattle with Hudson Pines in the lineage but wasn't lucky enough to own any of their cattle. I do remember the dispersal. A sad time.

@RotAcres, one member here lives fairly close to you if you are in the Johnson, SC as you state in your profile. Maybe he will message you and you can ask some questions. Him being in your area makes his answers even better.
