Howdy, They are problems with calving season. The problem is not just 1-2 around, its when there is 20 of them going after a newborn covered in afterbirth still. 2-4 hours after the calf is born and is cleaned up. It's not a problem. The game warden here has stated you can get in trouble if a...

Howdy, The above comments are right on. This is one of the things you can't cheap out on. I too recommend the Woodford Iowa brand frost free hydrant. Follow the directions about depth, and a good gravel base area for the water piss out area when its shut off. It's one of the things you will...

Howdy, With your question, it sounds like your new to this. Talk with your local butcher. They might have someone wanting to buy a 1/2 beef. Whether the butcher is USDA certified or not. The 1/2 purchase is a live on the hoof purchase. The other people tell the butcher how they want it...

Howdy, You keep talking about the sale barn and feedlot??? So you sell junk at the feed lot. OK I understand this. You slaughter junk, ok I understand this. Most here are very interested in improving the quality of the beef they raise. I for one finish my beef. If I finish it, I put $$$$$ into...

Springfield Armory XD .45ACP 4" service Real good grip, and feel. 13 in the mag and 1 in the chamber

Howdy, 75 brood cows with calves 17 replacement bred heifers 3 service bulls 8 finished yearling bulls for sale 2 border collies 7 cats 6 kittens

Howdy, You also need to take in account for the earth thermal temp of the water. Water line buried 28" connected to a freeze proof hydrant, 3' hose, auto fill float, stock tank. Sitting water in the stock tank will freeze first, cows drink, more thermal warmed water enters hydrant and hose...

Howdy, Freeze proof hydrant with a 3' length of hose, quick disconnect brass coupler. Turn off hydrant, disconnect coupler, short section of hose drains. Earth thermal = ball waterers, many brands out there, they use the earth's warmth to keep from freezing. Cows like them in the summer too ...

Howdy, 400# electronic freight shipping scale Holds calf and me easily. The readout is attached via a telephone like pigtail cord, which I have attached to the gator, scale sits on floor. Before I go into the field, I turn on the scale, stand on it, and tare my weight, just the calf's weight...

John Deere retaining value and dealer's all over

Howdy, German Foxtail Millet grows mighty well with little water too. It's also known as emergency forage because of the growth rate etc...

Howdy, That could be one way, but the only other suggestion would be "have a buddy with him" He just will not gain as much as having competition at the feed bunk.

Howdy, JD 920 impeller here. Works great through any crop. (orchard grass, fescue, orchard grass/alfalfa, alfalfa, brome,) Impeller style conditioning just takes more tractor HP than roller.

Howdy, I do not think there is anything left with regards to a latch, since you stated not beyond the end of the gate. A over the top wire loop maybe. I use the co-line ones here, pass-thru and one way bump.

Howdy, ummm, organic... ummm, well, I would hold off on the organic stuff, and do what you gotta do to the field to put it into shape, and then go organic. :) Field = 50 acres ok, if you have walked all over it and its smooth, not a lot of major holes, gopher holes, volcano's etc... then you...

Howdy, I use cattle rubs here too. I have them around the water troughs. Actually, when I put them out, a lot of cows get stuck under them :) in a good way, because you come back 15 mintues later and they are just gently rubbing back and forth on the rub, and not walking off. Make sure you...

Howdy, White clover in your field is a good thing. Most folks try to get white clover growing in thier fields. The seed itself can stay dormant in the ground for a long time(they say up to 12 years) Anytime you have a spring pasture which you have cows in, and then move them out, before the...

Howdy, Tru-Test 700 scale with HD1010 load bars under a seperate weigh box (slider doors on each end) after the alley, and before the preg-check and chute. I stop them here before entering the chute, I record them on paper, and with the scale. I then of course have my proper weights for...

Howdy, In areas with freezing conditions, I would suggest you go with the higher end hdpe black high pressure (240psi) and heat on your brass connector's. Usually purchase a 500' roll or more. Sch 40 can't even compare to the longevity to the black in a trench in the ground.

Howdy, The organic folks have held up the roundup ready alfalfa plantings. California injunction March 12, 2007 halts sales. http://monsanto.mediaroom.com/index.php?s=43&item=469
