    Stranded hot line?

    I was working on another ranch today and found that all the hot line wire was stranded 16g heavy galvy and very flexable. The wire is over 20yrs and shows no rust of any sort and is very strong. The rancher can't remember anything about it. Do you know what it may be and where it can be bought...

    Why not corn silage?

    If you have the irrigation it grows very well. My fields are planted already and just popped this week.

    Why not corn silage?

    Thank You folks. I do have the ground to grow it and area to store it, so I think I am going to go for it.

    Why not corn silage?

    I am looking at trying it for bred cows over winter. Cow/calf setup. What is too much in a days ration, or is this something to try and watch? trial and error

    Why not corn silage?

    Why do dairies use corn silage on a grand scale but the meat industry does not? Does it do something to the meat as the animal grows what is the reason behind it?

    Is this your right?

    What I hate is that is just about impossible to get a carry permit here in California if you are a guy. I guess I have the right to get shot but not defend myself, or carry illegally and get put up for manslaughter. As I heard once, on average 911 is 23 minutes away. In Cal the criminals have...

    Bermuda grass

    All I find for Midland 99 is sprigs. Does it come in seed form? I looked up spriggers for the Cal area and found none. How far can sprigs be shipped if a machine was to be found? I still think seeds is the way I need to go.

    Bermuda grass

    Why do all the seed sites I find say that Bermuda type grasses don't grow in N. Cal? Many of the grasses are suitable for Arizona but not Cal. This is all that grows in my pasture now. I think it is the common type. I was thinking of trying Sahara. Sprigging is something that I don't think is...

    07 Duramax

    07 Duramax Silverado 2500HD 4x4, is the fuel pump in the tank? Truck is stock so I know that it does not have an aftermarket lift pump. Did they come stock with one and where would it be? Long story short, truck shut off and it is not pumping fuel. Relays are good and when i hand prime fuel flows.

    feeder Jerseys

    The cost of Holsteins in my area is $250 each and the Jerseys are $15. Guess i know why.

    feeder Jerseys

    I have raised them before, I currently have 8. But from what it sounds like is if I am only going to sell say 5 at a time the auction route is a loss and that approuch may be better suited for craigs list sales. I will have to run the cost numbers and see what others may get for calfs on C.L. of...

    feeder Jerseys

    I have a source from a few dairies in my area that i can get day old Jersey bull calves for $15 a head. i am thinking about starting to do feeders then send them off at 6-9 months. I know that at this young of an age they are alot of work because of bottle feeding. With the cost of milk...

    Thank you folks, sounds like the steel tank comes off.

    Metal spray tank

    I just bought an old metal spray tank rig. Price was good ($300). The tank is in very good shape, trailer, tires (tires alone worth more than $300, new with stickers still on them when i picked it up.) and pump in good working order. All that is bad is the rubber hoses and the sight tube. Old...
