By keeping heifers out of bulls with low CEM, wouldn’t you be breeding the natural calving ease out of the Angus breed.

I’ve been lurking here for several years. I grew up helping my grandpa on a small dairy farm, and was just getting back into cattle when I joined. I actually registered so I could vote on the photo contest. Back then I spent a lot of time on a computer for work,and would read almost every...

I’ve worked in the poultry industry in some form or fashion for the past 12yrs. I deal with chicken farmers daily. I’ll be the first to tell you chicken houses are not for everyone.

One thing we use is an infrared ear thermometer to take embryo temperatures. Embryo temps should be about 100 degrees. Use your average embryo temps to adjust the temperature of your incubator. I've only hatched chicks in a commercial hatchery, so I don't know anything about the incubator your...

Wal Mart put me through college. I started working there part time when I was a junior in high school and worked there almost 6 years. Wal Mart is not a bad place to work. They offer a lot of opportunity for advancement. I trained the current manager of our small town store when he was hired as...

Boneless chicken wings are actually trim meat from the breast. The boneless chicken breast are cut into portion sizes, and the trim for along time was a by product. There wasn't much of a market for it. Chicken wings are one of the most expensive parts of a chicken, so the restaurant industry...

My plan is to cull her. There was plenty of room vertical just the horizontal was tight. My hand fit just not much room side to side, but 13 cm isn't very big. I was just thinking after reading about pelvic measurements that she would probably be fine to breed. I'm new to AI, so she is only...

I just started doing AI on my small herd. I had a heifer ready to breed this morning. When I got in her, her pelvic opening felt small to me, and the pelvic shelf wasn't smooth it had two knots on it. I ended up not inseminating her. If I understand it right, you measure the vertical opening...

I would look at the accuracy. A bull with +8 CED and .90 accuracy would be a safer bet than +10 CED and a .3 accuracy. JMHO

I've worked on a few gas furnaces mostly Aaons. One of the common problems we had was related to sensors. There should be a sensor near the fan. Its designed to shut the heat off if the fan quits working and heat builds up in the unit. You can check this by crossing the two wires. The other one...

I was under the impression that what big foot said could be said about all the economy model tractors out there no matter what brand.

There is several Mahindra Tractors in my area. The local dealer is pretty good and getting parts doesn't seem to be an issue. I've had a 6530 for a little over 2 years. The only thing I've had happen to my tractor was the switch that tells the tractor the pto was disengaged went out. I was able...

There is dealerships for both McCormick and Mahindra withing 20 miles of my place though. There are several of both brands in my area. The people I know with them are satisfied. My dad has a CX95 McCormick I think it is a 2008. He has had pretty good luck out of it so far. It's his only tractor...

An easy way to break a bead on a tractor tire is with a high lift jack and a log chain. Wrap the chain around the tire and rim and make a loop place the foot of the jack on the bead place the loop of the chain on the step thing and jack it up until the bead breaks loose. Most of the time i...

It was pushed down my throat in high school that if you wanted to get ahead in the world you needed a college degree, so most of the motivated and hard workers in my class went to college. I probably would have been better off not going to college and going to work for a carpenter, or machine...

Be careful what you wish for hook. You just might end up with Obama Care.

In my part of the world I don't know anybody that makes a living on just raising cattle. The people making a living on the farm around here either have chicken houses, turkey houses, or row crop to go along with thier cattle. Which makes sense to me because I think its smart to have diversity in...

#11 is Magnum he is a bloodhound and just over a year old. My wife gave him to me for my birthday last year. I grew up with hounds mostly red bones and black and tans, but he is the first bloodhound I've ever owned. He doesn't come from a hunting bloodline and you can definately tell because he...

I really like my ruger SR9. They're not as heavy and bulky as other rugers semi-autos I've shot.
