We live in an old farmhouse that was built in 1890. I have a cellar that has about a 6’ ceiling directly under the kitchen which is essentially in the center of the house. Under the living room and dining room I have a crawlspace that is only about 12”-16” high. Somehow they managed the fish the...

Recently my Massey 65 3 point quit lifting bales. It happened all of the sudden. The 3 pt would lift the bale spear but wouldn’t pick up a bale or any implements. I figured it was the hydraulic pump. So I ordered a new one ($206 not too hateful). Installed the new pump, which was very easy and...

Hi everyone, I am renting an excavator in a few weeks to get some projects done and one of those is getting my corral squared away. It’s a muddy mess. It’s close to our creek but has plenty of fall to shed water. It just needs the manure cleaned out and drains and gravel put it. My question is...

I wanted to get some advice from you expert cattlemen. I have a barn with a standard water hydrant and I am replacing with a Mirafount lil spring automatic waterer. I dug down a foot below the water line and now the hole is filled with water right up to, but not over, the incoming water line. I...

I have 4 angus heifers I’m finishing out and I have 1 that just runs the rest out of the feedbunk. She is much larger than the other 3 (and was when I bought her) and is getting the majority of the feed. Just wondering if headgates would help out with this.

I have the opportunity to pick up 7 acres of pure alfalfa hay. It’s my neighbors property and he currently rents it out to a local farmer that sprayed glyphosate, worked the ground, and drilled in the seed 2 years ago. The neighbor is 1/2 mile from my place. Currently the farmer gives the land...

Hi everyone, You may remember a few months back I mentioned getting a couple nice registered red angus cows. Well that went through and I have them on my farm. The problem is this: They are bat sh!t crazy. :shock: They are so scared of people it's not funny. Not aggressive just flighty. The...

Ok guys and gals it appears I'm getting back into the cow/calf game again. My wife has found 2 stellar Red Angus cows that should be bred to drop calves in late July/August. The cows and the bull are registered and so they would come with all paperwork to get the calves registered as well...

Hi folks. I have roughly a 900 lb steer that would not eat this evening. He has the squirts pretty bad. He has had loose stool for a while but now he's not eating. Looks pretty lethargic and will come to the feed bunk but just stands there. Any idea what could be causing this? He's getting free...

Just heard about the terrible wildfires in Texas, Oklahoma, and Kansas. 2 ranchers died driving cattle to safety in Oklahoma. May God bless and watch over all of you out there affected by the fires! We are flooded here in OH. Crazy.

Hi everybody. First time poster, long time reader. I grew up on a dairy farm and have been around cattle my whole life. The dairy cows got sold about 20 years ago but I couldn't stay away from the cattle. I've been feeding out Jersey calves I get from my aunt and uncle for free the last few...
