Dun what type panels did you use?

That's what I had in mind. But starting out I'll have to go 4 months due to how my cows are spread out right now. I'll try what I have for now and see what happens. Then get corral panels if it takes it. My biggest reason for a set season? Northeast Ms summer's banding and vaccinating calves in...

Then last Sunday.

This is her last night.

And I'm just not going to worry with it at this point. She has a larger bag than normal for a Char. Maybe next time I attempt to sell her I should point that out. Then again never assume. Put a glove to her.

My bull is pretty gentle. Never went through a fence yet. He'd be on the loading list instead! I have 2 neighbors. Only one with permanent cattle at the moment. But his have never come over...yet. His new Brangus was looking at me with his head stuck through the barded wire last weekend. I've...

I don't know who the vet is at the sale. And I haven't had time to go back. However as of 3 days ago she's made a bag. Last night mucous started. So she'll drop a calf anytime. He never put a glove to her for sure.

I'm looking at moving to a set breeding season. I've done year round my 4 years of doing this like dad did. However moving to a sep-October calving season would be better for me even though I only have 23 momma's. And work full time. I have one Angus bull, a weaning pen that's half acre barbed...

Me too. I do rotational grazing. Last night I let them in the paddock with the pen. Noticed nothing then. Im still on the back porch listening. Nothing.

I'm moving to a set calving season. So today I take 3 cows to the sale who don't meet the mark. As the last one entered the ring they told me the vet said she had a calf in the last day. I wanted to contest it. She had her last calf January of 2015. Hate it took me this long to get her to the...

Not to hijack the tread but I have a question. I took over dads cattle 4 years ago. He always sold by 750 lbs. I have 7 steers ranging from 5-7 weights. Thought about holding them myself. I'm small and only sell at the local auction. What is the highest weight you would hold them to before selling?

Forgot 1 important note. Here in the south clover can be replanted in as little as 6 months. Up north in cooler climates it can take as long as 18 months. So using it could be more problematic for you. It basically has a post emergent in it. When it sprouts it dies for a few months afterwards...

To be honest never is the best time to spray it. When I took over I sprayed 2/4d 3 years ago. Dad was 85 when he had to give it up. Weeds had got a bit out of hand. The rate I used only stunted the clover. Like you I hated to kill it. Thanks to the seed bank in the soil, the next years weed crop...

I agree on cow/calf. I'll go on vacation during calving season unless I have a first calf heifer. I like to watch them closer.since I took Over dads farm I've pulled one calf in 4 calving seasons. And it was a first timer.

Bought the Gallagher set a couple years ago. Work great. Mine are alleyway scales. They are pricey though. Caught mine on sale for $1600.

I hate it when I have a "duh" moment. That charger is supposed to blink red. Green light is for power. But burned out. My dc charger blinks green.

The charger will only blink red like its overloaded even when it has no wires attached. Any ideas what it could be.its two years old and has a lighting diverted inline. Noticed this about a week ago. A voltmeter show its putting out about 6k. Usually puts out 7k.

After running out of hay I purchased some Balage to give it a try. After opening it one bale is dry as hay. The ends are compost black and white mold as far as I could dig into the bale. The 2nd bale was wetter but smelled bad. Same white mold throughout. Would you feed it?

I started in the spring working the place over with Grazenext. Excellent results on summer weeds so far. Now I'm going for thistle and Buttercup. I am stockpiling fescue. My question is this. With 8-10 fescue will this herbicide still get to the thistle and Buttercup to kill it. Summer grass is...
