I'm wondering how well this will work, but I think in the long term $5+ gas is really going to pinch and things are going to go sideways. Honestly, I thought this was coming along a lot soon first with Covid and then with the Russian invansion. All I can say is that my retirement has taking a...

I'm going to finish a steer in the fall, but I had him in with a heifer this spring to wean her. I figured I'd train them to grain and did 2 weeks. Will that help in the overall finishing of the steer, or will I basically start from 0 when I bring him back in in the later summer to finish him...

I woke up this morning to snow. It's May 9th. This is the latest I've ever seen snow on the ground, and I have lived in Maine. It's pretty wild.

It is with a heavy heart that I have decided to change direction. I have run a very small cow/calf type operation for the past 8 years, and the "if I didn't have bad luck, I'd have no luck at all" saying applies. It has been an uphill battle, but since we had access to our own hay field and...

How many of you are turning to that sector to invest in since a lot of other sectors are falling apart?

I had mentioned that I was headed to the cardiologist on here a bit ago. It was not all sunshine and roses. I was born with Tetrology of Fallot which is a big deal. Basically I had a hole in my heart (ventral septal defect) and some issues with the pulmonary artery and valve. It's always...

Who's ready for another one? Stock market is correcting, bonds are going up, inflation is up and I did not realize that oil was so dang high. Good times are on the horizons it seems.

Got a heifer by a bull AND his dam. Didn’t get her separated in time to AI. Oops. She looks alright. No angus inbreeding issues that are external. She’s on 3 mos, so I have not had her palpated for breeding soundness. Would you keep her and breed to Hereford for a complete outcross or can her?

I'm not sure if this thread died or what, but is this a red angus? Asking for a friend.

I don't know what everyone's situation for hay is this year, but it's pretty tight here. I'm in the Treasure Valley portion of Idaho. We're losing hay ground to housing developments. With some of these developments, people are moving onto 5 acre homestead type places, so they're buying up...

If you're going to AI this cow, who would you use? These are the options my AI rep has, and I'm not paying money to ship other straws. I have read the threads on both bulls. I'm not sure which one I'm leaning toward right now honestly...

Looks like the Russians and Saudis are killing it. Couple that with every industry's foe, Lack of Demand, and we've got $3 oil. I'm not sure I'm celebrating just yet, that's pretty low, and it will be interesting to see the ramifications...

We just got extended today until April 30th. Also, visitors will have to self quarantine for 14 days. I'm not sure what the penalty will be for those that don't follow through, but I hope it stems the flow of this deal. The county that includes Sun Valley has the highest number of cases, and...

Who's fixing to buy right now? I had some mutual funds for my son's college fund that have done well, but tanked as of late (as everything else did). I took those out to stop the bleeding, but I'm leaving the money in the account so I can rebuy them when things stop bleeding out to some...

I'm not sure where to put this. I'm having an issue with the hot wire. I have a small area that's hot, but when I jump to the big field it shuts off. We've walked it, trimmed all the brush along there and it still does it. Any thoughts? The box is a 30 miler, reads 14.9 at the box. It...

Anyone ever seen this stuff? My wife went to a gem show yesterday while I was at work and picked up some. It was pretty small (about a 1/2 dollar sized piece) for quite a bit of money (for me at least). It's from the 50-70's and is now available in limited quantities. Pretty cool stuff, but...

Well, this was a first for me. I've had a couple of run-ins driving, you know someone stupid do something and you honk, then they get all mad, but nothing like this. I was coming to work this morning, and there was no one out b/c it was so early (about 7:35). In Idaho, folks do this thing...

Going through a lot of Angus pedigrees, I'm seeing a lot of really low $EN numbers. -58, -42, etc. Is this something folks are breeding for anymore? Is a product of breeding for something else? I have one cow that's a +12, but all my others are -__.

Here's an interesting video about the naming of the next aircraft carrier in the US Navy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NPIHx_fik-0

The wife was feeding tonight and bumped the gate with the ATV. The carabineer that attaches the chain to the gate broke. Any ideas on how to fix it? Seems pretty shoddy to break that easily. I'm thinking about using a bolt to attach it on there, but wondered if anyone knew of anything better.
