    Dipping Vats? Run the cattle through them or swim them through while moving them to a different pasture maybe.

    SE Texas market

    Haven't heard much on prices down here, but sold a 270 pound charlois colored bull calf and got $2.95 per pound, on Monday. Almost fainted. I've been hearing that this is the year to sell around 300 lbs. Looks like I'll be selling all calves around August instead of the end of September.

    feeding hay

    That's crazy CB. I'm just south of you and my cattle can't keep up with the grass. I have been trying to bale a 40 acre patch for 3 weeks but keep getting rain. Just got 1.5 inches last Tuesday and have water in the low spots in pastures.

    trying to grow some grass and i need some help!!!

    If the trees are too big to pull over with a tractor, drill a hole in it at a 45 degree angle and fill the hole with Grazon. Might have to do a couple of holes on opposite sides of the tree. It will be dead in a year or less and will either fall over or be easy to push over.

    Down here we battle the Chinese Tallow. I think they will grow on concrete.

    Grazon P+D versus Grazon Next

    Grazon Next H\L will kill dewberries. I have tried a lot of sprays to kill dewberries and the H\L does it. 3 quarts to 100 gal. of water and the berry vines are dead. Looks like it might kill McCartney Rose also. I use P&D for the rose though but it looks like the H\L will kill it also.

    smutgrass

    Once it gets tall and seeds out my cows wont touch it. I start putting hay out in the winter when the cattle start eating the tops off the smutgrass. I know the grass is about gone. I've never tested it but I hear it has no nutritional value.

    Goat Weed Spraying Question

    I use 1 qt. to 20 gallons of water and either spot spray it or boom spray it, at 5-7 mph. Don't know how many gallons per acre it is, it's just what has worked for me.

    Goat Weed Spraying Question

    I sprayed goat weed on Monday the 7th and it is shriveled up and dying right now. Some of it looked ready to drop its seed, so I wanted to kill it before it dropped. Goat weed is easy to kill and 2-4-d will kill it now easily. You don't want to mow it and spread the seed everywhere.
