    Opinions on JD 1600 chisel plow

    Bought one yesterday at farm auction. $1000 ($737 US). Any good? It's about as mint shape as you can get for 40 year old implement, just needs tires and hoses due to age. 8 shanks. Enough for my needs. Just want it to pull out rock up to 8" deep. Already took tires off before I snapped pic.

    Last chess move in the 20 year plan.

    My final plan once I reached 100 cows and had a small F1 cowherd component was to introduce either Angus or Charolais for the terminal cross. Being that Char cross cattle are an easy 10-20 cents over blacks here, it's a simple decision. Picked this guy up yesterday and will be covering my...

    What is the job worth?

    Local community pasture manager quit this week. Again, I got offered his job yesterday for about 3rd time in 4 years and again I turned it down. Board of directors seem to think the pay is phenomenal, I think it's just poverty wage. Again, this is all done by one man. Job criteria: 1500...

    Which one?

    Trying to narrow down colors on the next purchase. Thought the rapid red with stone grey tone for the longest time and have seen in person, but the blue jeans with magnetic tone is pretty nice too. The stock images are the actual configuration, just added the others to give an idea on real...

    Bet you never seen a bull do this.

    Have hoped for the last number of years to catch my old fella in his performance. I was to slow to switch over to video, but I did get a quick pic back in September. I've told lots of people, but I don't think they believe me. He flips himself upside down to scratch his back on the dirt and...

    Fence - want your opinion

    This is how I have been doing my gate braces. Just wondering if I should add a 2nd opposing brace wire (in pink) to help support the gate or am I going against myself with too many directional forces. I haven't had any issues up until now with shifting, even with frost/thaw over 4' down. Just...

    What's it worth?

    Coming up at auction in 4 weeks. Neighbor bought one new in 1995 for about 5K (3750 US) and it doesn't have the tandem wheels. Very heavy built. Be about 30'. Just so happens that I was needing a decent bale wagon this year to replace the old one.

    Endovac

    Anyone using it in their cowherd? I am trying to eliminate the few Salmonella infections/deaths I have had in 2 week old/month old calves in the last couple of years. That was vet's recommendation and from the vaccine manufacturer literature it seems like a pretty good option. I have my Rota...

    2019 spring bull shopping done.

    I think they will work. Fleckvieh is for the bottom end of the commercial cows to give their steers a little more pop in the ring, and the Hereford is for my heifers. Video of 96F, there is another bull mixed in as well. https://youtu.be/CcGre1S20oY The 3/4 sister that sold for $34,000...
