Hadn't looked at this thread in a while , didn't know I got somebodies huggies in a bunch . Don't take it personel Floyd , Those highland cattle are good for folks that got brush pastures and don't want goats , or somebody who doesn't want or need 1300# cattle . We've got neighbors all around us...

I think were our handleing styles differ is because of the terrain . We'll trail across some open country then go into deep coulees , if you let your cattle drift out on you or trained them to stay in the herd , the independent ones will bale out in a side coulee and take some with her . It's...

I don't know about trading up , you should be using your bull genetics to improve your herd each year . If you aren't getting the results you want it doesn't hurt to buy some new cows that have what you need.

Trailing cattle isn't that tough , he looks like he's got 125 head or so with big calves should be fairly easy . The big thing is to remember you have all day . If it's going to be hot ,get going early so you don't stress the calves to bad . Put your cattle in a pile and start them going ...

No Arkansas I'am not here to start any wars , so just kind of hold your pants on . I was a union cement mason ,it provided me a good living with good benifits and I have a small retirement if I live to 63 . I worked with and around the other trades and have a pretty good idea of how most of the...

The difference in bale weight for us is what we are baleing . CRP and alfa alfa will be in the 1100-1200# range . Barley hay will weigh up closer to 1800# . Straw is right around 1000# . We move all our round bales with semi's , 28 bales to the load.

Winter is here and I've turned over the stock of socks from light wool to heavy weights . I wear merino wool year round . The lite weight ones aren't to bad of price , but 70% plus wool heavy weight tall socks , you about got to go to the bank to afford a couple of pair .
