Ok, So my 99 HD, 100k miles, is delaying (5-10seconds or so) shifting into overdrive on the highway and sometimes even shifting into 4th. I thought I might get a flush done and put in some synthetic tranny oil. Any of you guys had anything good come from flushing? One guy told me to just drain...

This is more of what I had in mind. Initially I am getting in to the cattle business for just that, a business. All the things that can be wrote off during the year that can be tied to the business will be done as that. I plan on turning a profit once my herd starts to grow. Thats the bottom line.

I also own a 6.0 4x4, though I do love the power and throttle response, I too long to own a diesel. The costs are much higher but the next truck I buy will be a powerstroke. Even though it wont pay off until beyond 100k miles, I truly believe I'll drive it for well beyond 10 -15yrs or so...

I understand the code of writing something off does not become free. I've got a finance degree and know a little bit of how money works. When the only thing I have to write off against at the end of the year is mortgage interest, the expenses from a cattle operation will be a much greater...

Oklahoma winters, can be harsh, can be mild. Of course I would never ask them to do that, I was raised out there so I have a little bit of knowledge of what to expect. I will probably invest in a tank and a heater beforehand.

I will actually have a similar situation to some of you here after reading this thread. The land is occupied by my mom and her husband, both healthy adults that have some experience with dealing with cattle. They used to have 12 head out there and after they(the cows) got too old they sold...

So I am thinking of putting cattle on my family's land that is right now a 45 minute drive from my house. Please post how far some of you commute to your cattle. Any comments are appreciated, thanks.

Just have a couple quick questions concerning taxes. I've got a little bit of land that I can run about 20 head on comfortably. My question is, if I get started this year with say 5-10 head, is it still possible to get a tax break? Is there an over under on head count that must be met before...

I've got a 99HD ext cab 4x4, cant get 14mpg to save my life. It does pull like a bat outahe// though. Love the sound and response of the gas engine. It has been a great truck, 13mpg rain or shine is what i've come to accept.

So how much do you all devote each month to your rig? I am at 450.00

i like the cannon analogy, thats darn funny. i will buy all the moth balls and pepper i can find and put it everywhere. i'll try to get some pictures on here. im in oklahoma and yes i do have a "dillo" problem but im pretty sure they aren't near the barn, they just leave holes everywhere and...

almost positive its not racoons. thanks though

tin damage yes, curled up and looks like teeth marks. what the heck is a diller?

the damage is very low and on sides that are not exposed to the horses. will the mothballs do the trick? i can drop them in the walls, that seems to be where they are going.

our tin at the bottom of the barn is being destroyed by something, cats, rabbits, skunk etc. gun out of question as i haven't caught anything in the act. what do you guys suggest to deter these. i will try anything. isnt there something that i spray around the barn that wont hurt horses but run...

just curious, but what kind of gas mileage do any of you get in your diesels. im interested in a crew 4x4 ford, so any replies on that particular truck and its perf, ride, mpg are appreciated. thanks.

I am selling 150 small squares out of my barn this wknd and the customer wants it delivered (20mi) . I am charging 2.5 to 3 out of the barn, how much would you guys add per bale to deliver? thanks

thanks everyone, thats kind of what i was hoping to hear. I am very new to this and this kind of help is greatly appreciated. Some of you all like Dun might remember me under a past name that i used but couldnt pull back up, then it was "Okmike". i havent been on the boards in a while because i...

I have some family that want to invest in our heard (5) by adding some of there own. How do you guys handle this situation and is it worth it? What stipulations should I follow to protect myself? I really dont have a problem with it if i am going to be the main beneficiary. Other than that i...

i was hoping that you all would suggest in the 20 range. right now i am very new to watching prices, are these the ones listed in the futures market in the paper. if i am looking to buy a bread heifer, do i look at the per pound hundred weight for beef ? kinda of confused in that area. thanks
