I sold this guy as a calf, the folks who had him kept a bunch of his heifers so they needed a new bull, I bought him back since he is not related to mine. I guess I will try him for a year. Registered Galloway what do you think? The photo stretches him some he is stocky in real life.

I have some I think it is silver sage, but it might be big sage that grows in my pasture along the drive into the homestead. It is getting thicker. There is a lot of it on the rest of the ranch as well. What herbicide would kill the sage and not the grass under it. I have cut it down with...

Ok so I am half way through the synchronization protocol for cows and heifers when I notice that I had left the unused portion of the Factrel, (Gonadorelin Hydrochloride) on my counter for a day and a half read room temperature and it says on the box keep at refrigerator temperature 36 to 46...

Has anyone had luck with renovating an old pasture using a no till drill (the food plot kind) and seeding right into the old sod. I have a friend that says it will not work and the soil needs to be completely worked to get any thing to grow.. spray out till, till again and then seed etc. that...

It seems to me that with a small herd of cattle and a small ranch that you could just run the bull with the cows year arround. When the cow comes back into heat after calving she could be covered on the first cycle, in the end over enough years it seems the cow could possibly produce one extra...

I have a chance to purchase hay from last year put up in big square bales, it is 60% grass 40% or less alfalfa. The hay put up same year in these parts runs $100-110/ton I can get this for $60 it is very close to me so no significant cost to transport it. Is it likely to still be ok as a...

Saw a pen full of bred heifers sell yesterday and thought they were going for a good price but being a new guy I thought some thing just ain't right. They looked like Char/Cross except one that had some highlander look to her, any way all light color off white. The avg weight was 970 and they...

Has any one up North tried Sainfoin on dry lot pastures, I only get about 12 inches of rain in a year and have heard that it does good as dry land pasture. I have heard about other advantages that it has also. :cboy:

A Montanan, a Texan and a North Dakotan are sitting in the air-port coffee shop. The North Dakotan talking about his farm in the Red River Valley says my farm is so big I can drive my 4X4 tractor all day long and when the sun sets I am still in the same sugar beet field. The Texan sys ye'a my...

I try to background a few steers and I think the 2012 market is going to make it hard on me. 1) feed is high this year corn is way above normal. Even Hay is over 100/T 2) Steers are going to be 1.7 or more a hundred this fall acording to my crystal ball does not leave much for my little slice...

I have seen cables used over the top of a feed bunker to keep cattle from crawling through the bunker, but have you ever seen cables used in the outer areas of a corral or feed lot? How would the cables be kept tight enough to serve as corral rails?. I want to use some free cables and some...
