A lot of my pastures are primarily Old World Bluestem, about mid-thigh tall and pretty thick. It is sure hard to find new calves laying down in the stuff. Walking any distance is sure enough a chore, plus you almost have to step on one to see it, and you sure don't want to be trying to drive...

Anyone have any experience using the rotary calf table by Filson?

Can't believe this info isn't already here, but I'm not able to find it on any of the searches I've run. I've seen some terminology regarding cattle sales that I don't understand, and I'm sure lot's of people here know the answers. (1) running age cows (2) 100 pairs - short solid and aged...

I don't usually say anything much on the board, but it's raining outside here (just south of Amarillo) and this is the first rain on this place since back in July. Not much of it then, or before then, either. Most of our winter wheat has evaporated, EVERYBODY is feeding cake, and I've got a...

Having trouble with the Search Engine. I want some info on a test well (water). Every way I try to run it, I get results on "test" and "well", but nothing on "test well". Help?? Or, if there truly is nothing in the archives - hard to believe - can someone explain exactly what information you...

Read an article in a BEEF* newsletter about finding TB in a Minnesota herd: "Minnesota Board of Animal Health (BAH) officials said this week that bovine tuberculosis (TB) was detected in a Roseau County beef cattle herd when a USDA veterinarian detected suspicious lesions in a five-year-old...

Hypothetical situation, if you all don’t mind. Say a feller with a small outfit - 20 head on a half section, mostly improved - already had a good pickup and stock trailer, but was contemplating the next purchase. What would make the most sense: a Kawasaki MULE, or the equivalent; or a small...

I don't THINK this question has been asked exactly like this before, at least I didn't find it with a 'search'. If it has, I apologize, but... If you can only have one, what is the "Ideal Farm & Ranch Truck". It'll have to travel from town to the place almost daily (40 miles r/t) and...

I just read that Japan is contemplating allowing us to resume exporting beef to them. That's good news, I guess. One of the conditions that must first be met is for us to allow them to resume exporting Kobe beef to the U.S. It also seems that I recently read that the Japanese had discovered a...

I ran a "Search" on this topic and found the below post someone had offered last year. I am a little slow and don't understand much, but I am very confused by what I think I'm reading here. It almost sounds as if the post is offering instruction on how NOT to tube a calf - at least to me. I...

In a post (somewhere) on this site someone alluded to the distinction the IRS may make between someone with small acreage / few cattle (hobby) versus a larger enterprise which presumeably qualifies as a for-profit business. And, the implication was that tax issues were involved and that a...
