AI’ed a group of home grown heifers due to start calving April 12th and “stole” some other partially AI’ed heifers due to start calving March 1st. Pretty happy how they are performing so far. Mothering up well which is good to see. 15 down another 18 to go.

Don’t know if guys were gearing up for July 4th weekend already or there was something in the water but cull sale today brought best prices I’ve seen in a good while. Heavy girls over 1400lbs sold up to $1.12 per pound and lighter girls still in the $.85-$.90 per pound. Bulls went up to $1.29...

I've become a fan of planting summer pastures for our Fall born calves to background on. I'm still trying to figure out how to make it pencil but I'm getting close!😁 Tried Ray's Crazy Mix for the first spot. Nice that it was mixed already and the price wasn't too bad. 50lbs per acre in the Esch...

Went to get bulls up to have them ready for their bull soundness exams next week. They walked right into the catch and put their heads down eating and behaving better than I expected. Will turn out next week after BSE is completed.

Weaned calves finished their first graze through annual mix of Pearl Millet/Cow Peas. Now onto Sudangrass/LabLab/Cow Peas paddock. Fat and happy! Started knocking down Sudangrass at another spot to bale in a day or two.

I’m doing an experiment this year. I’ve drug half of a couple of fields and after about 30 days and some rain I’m going to go back and see if there is any noticeable difference in the grasses. No cows will be put in these fieldI personally like to drag my fields but I’ve read the articles that...

Looking at a 24 Joule Kencove fence chargers for a new section of high tensile fence we put up. Have Gallagher solar chargers on other parts of the farm without power so this is the first time I can use an AC powered chargers. Based on price, output and warranty these Kencove’s look better than...

We are moving right along with our Spring calving season. This herd is rocking it and had this pretty heifer born this morning poise with Momma for a second.

Started calving at the end of January. So far so good with our first calf heifers. Hopefully this pleasant weather keeps up. Couple of newbies from an older Spring herd. Some open heifers i hope aren't open much longer if not bred already.

Besides having three sets of twins out of the first 5 to calve things have been going well thus far. Have a ton of heifers on the ground compared to bulls. We will see if things start to even out. 61 have calved out of 130 so almost half way done.

First 5 were heifers the last 25 were steers. Big sale with over 3500 head sold. Wean/vaccinated sale.

Well when it rains it literally pours around here lately. Wish I could send it elsewhere where needed. This is a 35 acre river bottom pasture I was just about to run some weaned calves in since it dried out finally from our last flood 2 weeks ago. Lost some new Sudan grass plantings behind...

Any opinions (pros or cons) on these two mower conditioners? Priced almost exactly the same locally, good dealer support for both brands. 12' center pivot style. Vermeer has better finance options but JD might be able to match. Thoughts?

A weee early but healthy and thriving none the less. Hopefully the first of many healthy ones this "spring".

1 down 119 to go. First calf baldie heifer AI bred to Knoll Crest Farm Absolute.

I can get on Goggle and find tons of suppliers for the continuous metal fencing further west but looking for someone closer to Virginia. Anyone have some insight to a supplier in VA, PA or NC maybe? I'm not doing anymore wood boards in my corrals or holding pens, want to start using metal.

With a new baby in the household (6 weeks old) we were WAAAY behind preg checking our Fall herds. First herd in the books and this new herd of open heifers went 35 for 35 bred with an apparent (nothing is concrete obviously) 45 day calving length. I'm happy to say the least. May the summer be...

Kind of looking at Land Pride (which makes a much better mower than they did 10 years ago), Bush hog and Woods since they are all locally sold. I'm partial to Bush Hog I guess but don't have much experience with any of the above. Have a John Deere right now but I'm not going back to Deere...
