The water in fuel alarm came in so I shut it down and drained the fuel filter. I accidentally dropped the plug and all the fuel leaked out before I could get it back in. I also loosened the bleed screw and tried manually pumping but couldn't get any fuel out of bleed screw. It won't start, any...

So how many trips to the dealer should a new tractor take before you demand a different tractor? I have a tractor with 70 hours on the meter and is about to make its second trip to the dealer for not starting. 1st time the forward/reverse shifter locked up, the gauges wouldn't turn on, and it...

I've come up on a deal for 14 gauge 2 3/8" pipe. That seems kind of light duty to me. Do y'all think this would work on with posts spaced 10' apart, 4 or 5 pipes high?

I have what I'm assuming to be a Charlois x Angus cow have a calf from a Hereford bull and got this good looking baby. Too bad these ash baldies probably won't sell with the black because they sure are nice to look at.

Got a heifer calf with a lump on her neck/jaw. It seems like it's movable like it's not attached to bone. Otherwise she is acting perfectly normal. Eating good and running around playing. I forget to check her temp while in the chute but I doubt she has one since she's acting normal. What do...

What's your thoughts on this feed for taking 400# calves to 650# by May? I have cheap but lower quality hay fed free choice with it. In comparison to their other feeds its moderate in energy. $228/ton with the rumensin and I think $195/ton without. I've fed them about 4# per head the last couple...

I'm going to start selling off the farm and wanted to see how everyone else is doing it as far as making a premium over the sale barn before I start marketing. In my instance they'll be vaccinated, dewormed, bunk broke, and weaned at least 45 days. I have a scale setup to weigh with also. So...

It seems like we've skipped fall and went straight to winter. I'm averaging just under 1.5 4x5 bales per day with 1 bull, 15 dry cows, and 16 pairs. I'm sure it'll go up some as it gets colder. If this coming spring goes similar to last then I'll stop feeding hay mid april. I haven't planted any...

So I tried a search and didn't come up with much. Last winter my bull had free choice hay and he got way too fat. He was with the cow herd all winter but this year I seperated him into his own pen. One of the college studies recommended about 33 pounds of hay/day for his size which is 1750. Does...

I've got a few yearling heifers that I'll need to get bred in the next couple months. I know they're too small right now for my herd bull at 1750 pounds. In the reading I've done I've seen recommendations from 50% to 80% of his weight. Well that's a pretty wide range at 875 to 1400 pounds. What...

Anyone know what size 3pt disc mower I should look for to fit a New Holland T4.75? Someone told me a 9ft would be a good fit, does that sound about right? Rear tires are loaded and has a front loader.

I need help figuring out what type of grass this is. Its the majority of my grass in 1 of my hayfields. I've been thinking about adding more fescue to this field but wanted to learn more about this grass and its nutrition first because it seems to do really well in this creek bottom field. It...

I'm running a new stretch of barb wire where my property joins the road front due to being woken up by the sheriff's office at 1 a.m. with a 7 mo old calf sleeping by the road. On one section there is a slight curve in between my 2 H-braces (orange). I put in 2 6" posts (yellow) to help take the...

Vet can't come out today so I thought I'd post here. I've got a 4 month old heifer calf that's been limping for about 3 days. We put her in the chute yesterday and looked her foot over and found a little hole in the bottom of her front left hoof. We gave her some la-300 and sent her on her way...

Hi guys, I'm looking at making my first bull purchase and want to make sure its not a mistake. Right now we have a commercial herd, mostly black. We bought them as bred heifers and they started calving in April. The bull I'm looking at is a polled Hereford (not homozygous) with the following...

I need some ideas from calf experts here. We have a ~45-50 pound 1-2 week old black angus calf we got last Thursday. She seemed a bit malnourished when we got her but she took the bottle good the first time we tried that night. The previous owner said she had received colostrum but selling her...

My family and I just bought an 85 acre farm in north Georgia and have since added 15 bred heifers. I added a picture of the property with 2 fields in question (red and blue). The red is about 7 acres, in a flood plain (decently drained back into creek), and has a lot of creeping charlie (ground...
