Hey y'all, I have some pastures and hay fields (located in middle TN) that are not performing well and need to be replanted this fall in a permanent cool season stand. I've been thinking about mowing those fields down very short and immediately no-till drilling Pearl Millet into those fields...

Hey y'all, For the past few years we have been fortunate to get our hay from field to barn without any issues. But this year some of my hay suppliers are cutting hay much earlier, in turn it's taking longer to cure, and there is a chance the baled hay will get rained on before we can get it...

All, I have cattle running on two farms and plan to pull the cattle off one farm before August so I can over seed and fertilize the pastures in an attempt to supplement the amount of hay I have to feed. All cattle will be brought back once the forage runs out at the other farm. The farm where...

Anyone used one of these? I'm thinking about purchasing one and seeing how it works. Any info is appreciated. http://www.callicratebanders.com/pro-bander/

I wanted to get everyone's opinion on how much space you should provide to a calf on a dry lot to avoid having a mess of a place. I know the feed yards recommend 200-800 square foot per head however I don't want to turn my farm into a feed yard. I do want to maximize my capacity without having...

If money wasn't a factor and you were going to buy one donor cow to start a registered black angus herd which bloodline and farm/ranch would you be trying to purchase from? Would you purchase a proven donor or buy progeny out of a proven donor that might be the "next great thing"? Any bloodlines...

I have 5 cows with calves on their side that I plan on asking to the AI breeder in a week or two. The breeder only breeds on natural heat. Would it benefit me to give eac cow a shot of Lute before I take them to him to make them cycle? I normally leave them at the breeder through two cycles and...

What does everyone think about this bull? Wanted to buy semen on Waylon but it's unavailable. http://genex.crinet.com/beef/index.php? ... 18&lang=EN KW

I have been stockpiling fescue and ryegrass on one of the farms I have rented in an effort to reduce the amount of hay I need to feed this winter. My questions is how many acres does it take to support a cow for a certain period of time? In other words if I have 10 acres fields parsed out for 20...

I've ran cow/calf operation for a few years now and have been constantly asked when I'm going to start selling freezer beef. My response has always been that with cattle prices so high there wasn't much incentive to keep calves past the 500 lb mark. Well as we all know prices will vary and the...

I plan on fertilizing 20 acres here in the next week or two before a rain. I want to mix in some seed with the fertilizer and broadcast spread it in hopes of getting some winter grazing. I can keep the cattle off this pasture as long as I want. I'm thinking about ryegrass but am open to...

I just bought a herd of Gert cows and there are about 12 heifers that need to be sold after weaning. They are all purebred and many of the cows had papers on them. I can easily send them to the market in November but wanted to reach out to everyone here and see if anyone knew of someone looking...

Anyone know where I can get some sexed (heifer) semen on Hereford bulls? Seems liked sexed semen on any breed of bull is becoming very hard to find. KW

I'm going to AI some of my registered Angus cows to a Hereford bull in hopes of getting some good F1 cross cows. What Hereford bull in your opinion is the best on the market today? Looking for a bull that will sire females with good udders, feet, and phenotype. I don't want to give up alot on...

I've recently bought a herd of pure bred Santa Gertrudis cows and am looking for suggestions on what breed of bull to turn in with them. Being located in middle TN the less ear you have the better and of course black is king. DMF has recommended a Charolais bull and I'm sure that cross would...

I'm thinking about buying a new 1 Ton truck in the next year or two. I'm either gonna buy a Dodge or a Chevrolet. It will be 4 door, 4wd, diesel, with a flat bed on it. I'd be curious to know if anyone on here has a new one and what your thoughts. I love the Cummins engine but every Dodge I've...

All, The local CO-OP sells a herbicide called Slay that is used to control broadleaf weeds in clover food plots. It's expensive but if I'm correct you could spray your pastures with this to control broadleaf weeds without killing your clover or grass. Have any of you ever tried this product in...

Has anyone ever gotten a vehicle painted by Maaco? I have a farm truck that could use one. I would go back the exact same color. Don't wanna spend a ton of money on it but don't want a really junk job either. KW

Anyone used this bull? His numbers are through the roof and he certainly passes the eye test. His accuracy is low on most however at only 50%. He is a 2011 model. KW
