15 acres of stockpiled fescue in two pastures, 5 and 10 ac split. I understand the reccomended practice is to strip graze it. My question, for those of you who stockpile- is strip grazing worth the extra effort? The pastures are relatively remote and I'll have to use a battery based charger...

Any thoughts on whether there might be higher than normal levels of endophyte in the fescue this fall? Maybe related to coming back so quickly from the drought stress? Several herds in the area are showing late calves, thick placentas, etc, and just about every cow I see (black, red, or white)...

Anybody have any experience with "Excede" from Pfizer? As far as I can tell, it's a broad spectrum Cephalosporin with a seven day activity from a single injection, given SQ in the ear. Dosage is about like Micotil. Lee

We had an interesting day Tuesday. Monday night I went to feed cows down on the river, no cows to be seen. After about an hour of calling and searching, finally found them standing on a gravel bank by the river (wrong side of course). No way they were going to come back across but, no big...

In San Joaquin Valley, Cows Pass Cars as Polluters Air district says bovines on the region's booming dairy farms are the biggest single source of smog-forming gases. The industry takes issue. By Miguel Bustillo, Times Staff Writer Got smog? California's San Joaquin Valley for some time has...

Looking at some lease ground. It's river bottom with pretty good fences except no fence on the river side. River floods every couple of years so it's probably not practical to have a fence there. It's a good sized river (Merremac), not a creek. Any experiences or watch outs running pairs in...

Anybody seen a source for aftermarket parts for JD Gator? Googled it, didn't find squatola. I may need a radiator for my 6x4 diesel if I can't fix this one. Thanks, Lee

I apologize for using the term jerk. I stand by the pompous ;-) Lee

This is not an ad, just a little neighborly information for spring workups. American Livestock has Ivomec + injectable 2X500 ml for $369.95. That's more than $50 less per 500 ml than I can get it for locally. Shipping is free. Lee

Saw it mentioned in another thread that you were planning on gettng some ultrasound data on replacements. About what do you expect to pay? Sorry, I'm lazy and haven't checked into for myself yet. Lee

I've been seeing a lot of those fabric covered hoop buildings going up. Anybody using them? I was thinking in terms of Hay and equipment storage. Any recommendations as to manufacturers? Watch outs?

Just wondering if anybody has had any experience with Strategy or his sire, Focus. Good confirmation on the calves? What about hind legs, feet? Daughters? I know ABS is really pushing him, but wanted some real world data. I was thinking about using Strategy on a couple of CH Base Line cows...

One sunny day in 2005, an old man approached the White House from across Pennsylvania Avenue, where he'd been sitting on a park bench. He spoke to the Marine standing guard and said, "I would like to go in and meet with President Kerry." The Marine replied, "Sir, Mr. Kerry is not President and...

While riding one day, a cowboy met an Indian riding along with a dog and a sheep and began a conversation. Cowboy: "Hey, cool dog you got there. Mind if I speak to him?" Indian: "Dog no talk." Cowboy: "Hey dog, how's it going?" Dog: "Doin' all right." Indian: Look of shock. Cowboy: "Is...

During a campaign tour of the Apache Nation Wednesday, Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry said he had a plan to increase every Native American's income by $40,000 a year. Senator Kerry refused repeated requests for details of his plan, however. He also told the Apaches that during...

A man walks into a drug store with his 8-year-old on. They happen to walk by the condom display, and the boy asks, "What are these, Dad?" The man matter-of-factly replies, "Those are called condoms, son. Men use them to have safe sex." "Oh, I see," replied the boys pensively. "Yes, I've heard...

A little girl: was talking to her teacher about whales. The teacher: said it was physically impossible for a whale to swallow a human because even though it was a very large mammal its throat was very small. The little girl: stated that Jonah was swallowed by a whale. Irritated, the teacher...

Trying to AI a 16 mo angus heifer this morning. This is the first heifer we've done. No problem finding the cervix and everything went smooth getting the gun past the first ring, but couldn't get past the second. I didn't want to use too much force with the gun, with the result being I just...

THE OIL SHORTAGE A LOT OF FOLKS CAN NOT UNDERSTAND HOW WE CAME TO HAVE AN OIL SHORTAGE HERE IN AMERICA. WELL, THERE IS A VERY SIMPLE ANSWER: NOBODY BOTHERED TO CHECK THE OIL. WE JUST DID NOT KNOW WE WERE GETTING LOW. THE REASON FOR THAT IS PURELY GEOGRAPHICAL. OUR OIL IS IN ALASKA, TEXAS...
