    Valhalla Ranch in Colorado

    We used their bulls for years until they sold out. Great people and good cattle, their bulls were mostly red and if they were still in buisness we would still be doing buisness with them today.

    Hey Windmillers

    All you have to do is match the size of the windmill to the depth you need to pump from and if you are pushing water in a pipleline and storage system. On our place we have two 14' mills, one that pulls from about 350' foot using 2" pipe and barrell that goes into a pretty flat pipeline and...

    Redneck Logic

    No need to use the mines just take turns electricying the fences with high voltage, you could use the solar panels every so far on the sunny days and just hook the fence up to the grid at night and on the cloudy days.

    Anyone located in New Mexico?

    Yeah, I remember reading that book, but cant recall the title. NM just seems to catch crap all the time for being neighbors with Texas, as for the Colo remark I just couldnt resist the temptation to stir the pot a bit.

    Old fashioned windmill

    We have six of them ranging in size from a small 6footer to a couple of big 14 footers. Most of them we use year round others just for the summer, and on most of them we have submerible pumps as well, just in case it gets hot and still we can keep the storage tanks full. They get serviced once...

    calf in the bathroom

    putting the calf in the bath tub with warm water should be a last resort. From our experiences when you do this it wipes out all the scent that the calf had that mom would use to recognize the calf. Just about everytime we have done this and saved a calf it has turned into a bottle baby or had...

    New Dodge Diesel

    Hey Allenfarms, My cousin has one of those mega cabs and really likes it for most every thing. The only gripe he has is that some gooseneck trailers dont work real well behind it. The bed is short enough that anything with anykind of enclosure on the neck wont turn as sharp. He has to be...

    Remote spring w/solar pump

    looks like a neat setup preston, I should have told you that both of our setups are submersible pumps. The new one is a Gould setup which we have had really good luck with that brand of pumps on other wells running off of generators. The shallow one is old enough that I dont remember the...

    Remote spring w/solar pump

    that system has been in use for a long time and I dont remember what the wattage is. I know its pretty low, you can stick your hand over the panel and shut down the pump. That pump puts out 1 gpm at the drinking tank that is a couple hundred yards away with a slight incline from the pump to...

    Remote spring w/solar pump

    Depends on how deep you are pumping from and how much water you are trying to move. We have a well that is pulling from 400' and uses 4 solar panels that are 4' wide and 10 or 12' long from that depth it puts out 3 or 4 gallons per minute. Which does pretty good and will keep up as long as we...

    If you can do it with out injury to her or yourself push her back across to her own pasture. If that does not work call and remind your neighbor that she is there and set up a time to meet and both of you either get her to a set of pens or back into the right pasture. My family has always...

    Dry lightning

    Here in NM we call it dry lightning as well and it is one of the most dreaded things around. This year alone dry lightning storms have caused most of the fires that have burned here or are still burning.
