    cost to carry a cow for a year

    I'm just a rookie, but I have been keeping track of my expenses very closely. So far I'm at $72 per head for the year. $72/63 days=$1.14 per day. That does include half my lease payment for the year so it is a little off. Also gas was not figured in yet, but I live very close to my lease land.

    when to mow and how much to mow at one time?

    It was not mowed last year due to the lack of rain. This year there is too much rain. Go figure. So, there is already some tall dead weeds in the field.

    raising commercial versus show cow/calf

    thanks for the responses. :D To be a little more clear. From the start I really didn't feel it would make a difference putting a show bull on my herd or a bigger commercial bull. Here is the story of what got my mind thinking... I bought the herd from an older man in his late 70's. He had a...

    raising commercial versus show cow/calf

    There are probably a lot of variables here and I lot of different ways to look at it... but... If you took a herd of good cows that have been on good commercial bulls and put then on show type breeding bulls (lets just say you already had the bulls avaiable and there was no addiontal cost here)...

    need advice- selling a 1 month old calve

    I sold the bull calve for $100 to a nice guy earlier today. The calf is really a brangus w a very small mix of jersey but I wanted to make clear that the calve had some jersey just to not be acussed of misleading someone. I think I could have done the powder mix trick but it worked out with the...

    tractor value guess for the tractor gurus

    What do you think it's worth? I thinking about offering to buy it. 1994 Case International Great Bend 440. It stays outside because the owner keeps it close to the house these days because he has trouble getting around very far on foot. Everything runs pretty well.
