Anybody tried them? I just need a set for only a job or two. Do they stay on, last, pros and cons? Thanks

It is not a need but I was wondering about getting a buckle with some sort of Angus on it. A long time buckle finally wore out. Some I have seen look OK but not true to breed type and honestly are not attractive. I saw a commemorative one that was nice but was out of my price range. Thoughts or...

new study This makes sense and always has if we think about the inputs required to grow corn and convert it to ethanol.

Considering a multiple reel spinning jenny for 4000' rolls of HT smooth wire, either bought or made. Any suggestions? I have the standard single reel. It has been welded probably 3 or 4 times. I'd prefer a bit more durable. So I guess I'd have to consider the ones with bearings. My preference...

Yearling heifers. I breed them on fungus fescue. It lets them cull immediately if they cannot handle it. They are all doing pretty good.

Anybody ever used a Stolzfus spreader? A fellow told me about them last night. Looks like they are heavy built. I know there are other brands: Warren, BBI, Chandler. Is there a lot of difference on quality, needed maintenance, resale value, function, ...between the brands? What options would...

Some years back we were in the Edwards Plateau area on a group cattle trip. Many of the places we ate had a serving or a dish of pinto beans with no obvious other food mixed in the beans but a good flavor from some spices. I asked several times and all they called them were pinto beans or Texas...

Anybody have a recommendation on a type of paint to use to deal with spots that are beginning to rust on galvanized gates, panels and such? I'd rather not go with spray cans but would consider if it was just touching up small problems. Thanks.

Since the breed has begun scoring and apparently wants better cattle in terms of more proper hooves and correct udders, why not remove any animal from the breed which scores or produces cattle that score on the worst ends of hooves (1,2, 8 & 9) or score on the extreme worst side of udder...

Had someone recommend it. Just looked at the website. Any comments? Thanks.

On new ground with some pieces of wood, roots and rock, which would work best. Would prefer a bucket on the front end loader to look ahead instead of watching behind and wonder if landscape rakes will hold up. Or other ideas are welcomed.

Lambs in NE GA sale yesterday averaged about $2/pound without a wide range.

Anybody ever limit feed alfalfa hay, cubes or pellets. With the drought in the SE USA we were looking at options other than short distance hay and wondered how limited alfalfa would stack up against commodities like CGP or SHP. Thanks.
