    How to ship a piece of machinery 1000 miles

    Anyone know of a good cheap way to get a pickup truck or small trailer size load shipped without having to go to the site? I'm looking at buying a aerator that's 1000 miles away and don't want to go out there myself.

    Please give evaluation of this heifer

    When I say they're behind my grainfed neighbors, I mean I think they're just slower to get full size... is this right? I guess there's no way to determine if a cow achieves the size of her genetic potential is there? To my eye she looks good so I don't think she's undernourished... it just...

    Please give evaluation of this heifer

    She's bred to a registered Angus. She's been with bull every breeding season so delayed breeding was not intentional. My calves seem far behind my neighbors grainfed calves so I'm thinking she was just immature.

    Please give evaluation of this heifer

    Newbie to this board and raising cattle. I bought a small herd of pregnant cows in Fall 2014 and this will be the first heifer born on this farm to calve. Please give me your opinion of her... she's 31 months and about 1300#, 100% grass fed. Appreciate all/any input especially comments on her...
