Here in central OK, hay is about to burn up. I started cutting yesterday. Due to fertilizer cost and no rain last fall and this spring, less than one 4x5 bale /acre where last year 3 bales per acre. I found some spots with downy brome and weeds, so baled them within 3 hours of cutting to let...

I see no one has mentioned my favorite, the Longhorn. I have a longhorn bull and my longhorn/angus cross cattle are out much earlier in the afternoon grazing. I have left a lot of trees so they would have access to shade. Atthe sale barn I get screwed because of the color and the horns. I...

My thoughts are the wind farms. They change the lower atmosphere and mix the ground level air with the air at least 600 ft up. The wind farms changed the direction our storms would come from..

It sounds like a good deal. my Vermeer 504R premium last year was $36,500 it is $41K this year. Tractors are not cheap either. I use an old sickle type swather and never rake.. I can cut all day long on 40 gallons of fuel..

I had one born a few years ago that weighed about 20#. It was too short to suck. I bottle fed and helped it with mama. When it got to about 650lbs it bloated and died. I think the heart was not developed. If they do not get enough milk fat when nursing the heart does nt develop right.,

What is the recipie for the permethrin/corn oil concoction?? I would like to try it.

Here in central OK, we have a sticky red clay that will swallow up a setting vehicle in 2 years. I have not used fabric, but have used crushed concrete, chips, crusher run, and clean stone. The last crushed concrete I got has so many fines in it that after some of thise gully washers we had...

My preference is a 2 yr old longhorn/angus cross. It makes a very flavorful yet lean meat. after 24months the bones are developed and they make a lot of meat with a great flavor. Just enough fat after feeding ground alfalfa with corn for 90 days. We grind alfalfa hay, corn, and add mineral...

I got this little guy 2 months ago. 4 days after I lost my blue heeler/lab I had for 12 years. My old dog was a great cow dog for me. He could find a hidden baby calf upwind 1/4 mile. His old heart gave out. My fault, he was overweight by 20 lbs at least. This one was a rescue that was...

In Oklahoma, the lesee is protected fairly well. A lease cannot be broken without a years notice.. I found that out when we were dealing with the eviction I mentioned. I wish things had not gone the way they did on that, but my old friend is still my oldest and best friend as we mended the...

Teach your kids to love cows and they will never have money for drugs!!!

If I could get the labor to help, pour on would be much cheaper. Equipment problems has me screwed on getting rid of some cows. Ipicked up a bumper pull trailer last month to use behind my pickup and thin out the herd. Trailer had a nice rubber floor, and I though it was a good price. It...

It took 4 days but they finally ate it. I think I wormed a few coons and some coyotes too....

No further work has been done, no fences etc. Her Dad is in ICU with some type of tick borne illness. So I guess everything is on hold. Like I said I wish he would have at least said we should have called you, instead of just mowing. I ws ther yesterday and where she mowed probably caused...

good idea, but not the same places..

Sorry I have not posted any replies, I have been busy with farm work and cleaning up a place my best friend lived at. He took the shot and died 2 weeks later with a heart attack on the road 1/2 mile away. This idiot women's Dad, who I have the lease with came out, he is a nice guy, we...

I am not a beginner, but My landowners around my area seen to not have any common courtesy toward the land I lease to cut hay on. I lease about 200 acres in 2 plots from 2 diffeent landowners. Due to the land here selling for over $7k per acre I cannot afford to buy more land. I am getting...

Since I have too many catttle and too little help, I try to get mine wormed with Safeguard cubes. Last time I used them I poured waffle syrup over the cubes in the feeders to get them to eat them all. It worked. Within a day they were gone. With the drought, my beardless triticale is not...
