What's the deal with a cow that is more worried about what the herd is doing vs her newborn calf. Calf was weak when I found it today.. She comes to it but pays it very little attention.. Bawls at it and then goes back to the herd and to eat. Could care less. She let her last one die before we...

I had a set of B&B load cell bars and a monitor and with some programming in the box you could make it weigh in 1# 5# and 10# increments so it wasn't jumping around as much when you get nervous cattle on them... My load cells bit the dust.. I bought a A&A alley scale and the box can also be...

Have a 6 volt solar box... my fence runs in a horse shoe shape i would say with the fence off center of the middle of the U. Have gate handles down every side and 2 at the box for checking it. . The box itself per the stafix fault finder puts out 11.5 kv. When hooked to the right side of the...

My part of the field that i seeded in crabgrass has now all gone to seed about calf high tall. If i run the cows back in there will they eat the seed and it decrease the crabgrass for next year, or do i wait till fall frost and bush hog to spread the seed? Best option?

I don't understand why when I cut it at a 10" height, it was over the JD tractor in height (too tall prob), 20 acres, dried a week In 90 degree sun, and when I went to rake and bale 90 percent of it was gone. It was like the grass underneath ate it.. It made 20 rolls on 20 acre... I don't...

I have 15 cows and 10 calves and about 15 acres. 3 paddocks 5 acre each. Now, is it better to run them 2 days and move through every paddock or leave about 3 to 4 days and move? They will eat it closer to ground in 4 Daud versus 2.

For mowing machine, baler, tether? Heard diff opinions. Our mower threw a seal and burnt up the gear box before we caught it and the guy at the shop said only run it about 1800 2000 and upshift if you wanna go faster but the baler guys said keep around the 2400 (540) mark. .confused

I have black commercial cows and currently use a calving ease char bull. His calves are a perfect size for what i like. Bull calves 90 110 #s, and heifers 70 to 90#. They come out growing like weeds. Now, he will need to be replaced in a few years so I'm looking ahead of time for a...

We are thinking about doing 2 40x60s on different farms, or a 40x80 on 1 and 40x60 on other, or a 60x60 on one and 40x60 on other. Any suggestions? We roll about 600 to 800 rooms a year. Have one barn that currently holds 96 and another that holds about 200. Jay didn't know if anyone had...

Got a set last night. THe monitor has a charging port with a on/off toggle switch next to it. Does it have to be flipped to on before it will charge? The display does not come on with this. When plugged in without it flipped no lights or anything say charging ect. Now I flipped the toggle and...

Are these 2 companies ran or owned by the same company? I have a set of the weigh bar setup that I would take $500 for if anyone is interested. Had about a year. They are spot on as far as weight wise, just not ideal with my setup and having to move the chute from farm to farm more often than we...

Built or put slats across hay rings to keep the hay out of the mud? How did it work and how many slats should be sufficient? Would 2x6 or 2x8 hold or should weld metal rods across? Or use a few 4x4? Thanks. Those funnel rings here are 600. I can do 4 rings for less than that worth pressure...

Well, Up until now, I run a year round bull in operation. I only run 15-16 cows at any one time. I am thinking about switching to a closer calving spring and fall, or attempting to get to a spring or fall only. I would rather run a 60 day calving window and was curious to if you guys think...
