    ethanol leftovers

    Good source of protein and cheap, do it. One guy in Missouri bought a semi just to haul the feed off by the ton. I dont know if I would go to that extream, but more and more I hear about what a good deal it is for the Ranchers.

    Bull starting to challenge me.

    Any time you move the bulls in from my experience since I am the chore man, they are always pissed at me, pissed at the world. You try living with 30 women of your own, being able to go anywhere you want then be put in solitary confinement with no women. I know Id be mad as hell. Just be nice...

    Castrating Question

    We let em' bleed out, Im not kidding. We have not had a problem since we did it a few months ago to about 8 bulls, we just let them go from the chute and walk around and they bleed a little. My boss said that they want to get some of the liquids out of there to prevent infection.
