havent been here in a while and had a question about my tifton I had sprigged in this year. It is growing like a weed and spreading pretty quick, the only thing I see is that most plants are throwing a lot of seed heads. my question is once it reaches a certain maturity does it stop growing and...

I have read every ounce of literature, I have spoken to many friends and neighbors and still can't decide between tifton 85, coastal or jiggs. I have seen separate fields with all three planted years apart. Some established some just getting there. Heard great benefits of all three. And still...

Last year I got a real uneven stand of hay grazer due to tractor tire soil compaction. Not only was it uneven but the weeds choked out a lot of the grass. I wasn't having it this year so I bolted on some c tines on the grain drill where the tractor tires track. I planted two weeks ago and so far...

I have a wheat field my cows have brought down to about 4 inches. I planted haygrazer In one of my hay fields and have a lot of seed left over. We are suppose to have some rain tomorrow and Monday and wondered if I can just over seed some sudan. I don't want to disc the wheat and I also don't...

Had a lot of rain this winter and haven't been able to let cows in oats/wheat field as much as i needed to. It's really exciting for me to see this volume of grass and my cows this happy! Just thought I'd share.

I have a Deere 457 standard and it has both square and round pickup teeth. I noticed that I am missing a few and before I buy any I wanted to know if one was better than the other?

I was wondering if I have to or if any of you train your cattle to close gunfire. I have shot snakes on far corners of my place or while baling(I assume the baler drowned out the sound). But haven't shot real close to them. Obviously if I see a coyote/dog chasing or stalking my cattle I'd shoot...

Been very wet muddy the past few months, noticed a few cows bagging up an thier back end all mucusy. So I seperated them and took em to the clean pasture 2 days ago. Sure am glad I did because one had calved this morning. Bull calf out of my hereford bull. Dame is 3/4 hereford 1/4 brahma. First...

I know some have freckles and some with different eye markings, but I didn't think they could have any black markings. I was looking through a catalogue and looked up a bull the had and saw this. Can they have black markings?

Pops got me a belt lacer, for baler belts. Finished last years baling with some horrible belts. I was scared to think of the mess that would happen if they gave. I went to my Deere dealer and was in shock after they told me how much a baler belt was. They and any and all my neighbors didn't...

I don't know what it is about baldys/motley face calves, but I love seeing em. Sure glad I went back with a herford bull. Thought I'd share a few pics. 2 week old calf with momma. 2 bull calves roughly a week apart The last of my limousin cross calve pics were taken last year they are in my...

My neighbor asked me if I wanted to buy some, I am interested but had a few questions. I would be buying by 250 gallon tote and wanted to know how to store it and how long before it goes bad? Also any real health issues with feeding it? Is 4.60 a cwt a good price? Any comments or experiences are...

I had the opportunity to purchase a few cows from a local farm. I am to the point where I am at capacity and need to cull 2 of my existing cows. I wanted to know if y'all would replace hard doing cows that raise above average calves or easy fleshing cows that raise average calves, but won't...

I own all mineral rights to all my lands, but I am currently looking at a couple hundred acres that the owner wants to hold 50% mineral rights. My question is why? And what could be the downside to it?

My favorite heifer calved last night, I rarely stay out til 12:00 to keep an eye on a cow but since it was a heifer I did. She successfully had a 45 pound bull calf. Since I was there I stayed to make sure it had its first meal. I have never seen a heifer or cow fight the calf as much as she...

How many people actually test their hay? I have baled some sudan hay and got it tested. It's crude protein percent seemed way to low at 5%. What I don't get is I have a group of cows in a lot that have been eating this hay and honestly they look great. How could they be keeping condition with...
