A friend of mine emailed me this. I found it so profound that when I do finally retire from Naval Service I have asked him to read it at my retirement party. I hope it moves all of you Patriots like it did me. Thanks to those of you who have or do serve, and thanks to those of you who support...

What is meant when dealers of used dozers say the undercarriage is 80%? I presume they are talking wear on the tracks, rollers etc? Am considering buying a used dozer to clean up my farm and dig a pond but not a lot of knowledge in that area. I may just rent one for a month or two instead...

I am putting 3 tons to the acre of lime on in the next few weeks. I was wondering if $12 per ton per acre was a decent price? I pulled soil tests and it appears that is all the farm needs after two years of rotational grazing. The tests called for 1.5 tons low end to 2 tons on the high end...

I was wondering ... it seems in my area the cattle buyers are getting good bull feeders at a 20-25 cwt discount over the same type steers for the 300-400 and 400-500 weights. This is fairly consistent. Are they cutting these calves weaning them and then reselling them in 2-3 months as 600-700...

My JD 2750 is very hard to start. You have to turn the steering wheel back and forth to relieve the pressure in the hydraulic system. I changed the postive wires and terminal out and replaced them with 2.o wire. Batteries check good and have been fully charged. Then the solenoid started...

My son being even more progressive than I am found this website: www.agnation.com and they are promoting this stuff. You spray it on at the rate of 8 ounces an acre and it is allegedly designed to make the soil more permeable to rain and nutrients which allows roots to go deeper and give you a...

Had a calf born Monday that has a wound on its head. The calf was born with it. The wound is open and the vet tech thinks that it may be open to the brain. Calf gives no indication of pain or infection and the momma is keeping the wound clean. Calf nurses normally and ambulates fine. Any...

Just found out this morning when I got to work that 2 Naval officers flying the F/A-18F fighter aircraft lost power and flew the aircraft into a field to their deaths. Neither Officer ejected. News reports indicate the aircraft lost power and the pilot put the aircraft nose up and banked left...

Appreciate your comments on this Yearling Bull. I just recieved a photo of him from the breeder and haven't looked him over yet.

If any of you guys and gals are WW II veterans or Pearl Harbor surviors I just wanted to say thanks for your service. Your service paid the price for our Freedom and I for one do know of the cost! Thanks again and have a great day!!

My brother in law lost his second calf this tear. They were both around six months old fine one day dead the next with no signals of being sick. Neither calf had a mark on them. These are the first two calves he has lost in years. I asked if he was gonna have this second one autopsied but he...

A fourth grade teacher was sharing a biology lesson with her class. She told them that humans are the only animals that stutter. A little girl a few rows back threw her hand up rather urgently... The teacher called on her and she promptly told the teacher that isn't true that her kitty cat...

I am considering the Mahindra brand of tractor in the 65-75 horsepower range. Does any of you more experienced folks have any ideas on them? The research I have done so far indicates excellent service and 5 year warranty which appears to be pretty solid as to what it covers. The financing...

My pastures are full of black berry briars. My preacher loves picking them as the cows keep it moved down around them. My question is will regular moving get rid of them or do I need to spray the fields and start over?

I will be traveling to Austrailia, Amberley area with work. I was wondering if there are any cattle ranchers in that area that would allow me and a friend to visit? Both of us are US Navy Officers and would just like to see some of the country side. You can reach me here or at my work email...

Had a B/BW heifer that I bought at 500 lbs off the market. Raised her with some really tame Angus heifers and it seemed the older she got the worse her temperment became. She went to the market today but I was wondering if anyone had seen this before. She was never mistreated and was always...

I am considering frost seeding clover early in March. My ammonia is going on end of March. The pasture is currently KY-31 fescue. Some fields the fescue is super thick(bottom land) and the hills the fescue is of course thinner. The question is will the clover have enough timne to get...
