    Working pen materials

    If you were going to build a set of working pens what materials would you use? Already have 2 3/8 tubing for posts...what would you recommend for rails? Panels? Have about 40 head of angus cattle nothing too hot. Old pens are pipe with pipe railing, but calves can squeeze through. Looked at...

    bump fire stocks

    I agree, my biggest fear is the snowball effect, if they get the bans started its hard to stop them and even harder to go back on them once in place.

    bump fire stocks

    Maybe I'm comparing apples to oranges, who knows??? In my opinion this whole gun thing is going to be a lot like the push for banning immigrants. The majority will lose rights due to the fault of a few. I hear a lot of the same people (in general not on this board) that want a ban on Muslims...

    Fencer size

    What brand is the 100 mile? What is the output in Joules? How many ground rods do you have? I run a permanent Taylor with three ground rods and it maintains 10-11k volts, on mine if you clean the fence line out at first, it will keep the weeds burned back. Also have a solar Parmak 12 that...

    Need a utv opinion

    This has been several years ago and do not know if this still the case, but we were buying some utvs for work and tried all of them out. What we found as far as pulling and work, the kubota out did them all, main difference was that kubota was not belt driven and we would slip belts pulling...

    Tagging new calves

    We put our phone#, our name, then a number that correlates back to the damn, ex cow 1 calf would be 101 and so forth if they are replacements after back grounding they get a cow tag from 1-99 next number up kind of deal. Besides what others have said if you have numerous pastures and don't keep...

    Pinkeye

    I'm still trying to wrap my head around the pink eye also, bought 25 bred heifers last year went and picked them out not a single eye problem. Got them home and within three weeks half of them had pink eye, none of my other cows had it, neighbor runs 100+ head in identical pastures, with...

    New to cattle. Vaccine ?

    The calves will need blackleg/7-way, if they are bull calves and you are going to band or cut you will want something with tetanus in it like covexin 8, also need to give them IBR, if you don't know what shot the cows have had might want to go with something like cattlemaster gold fp5. Most give...

    Lexington Moving Statues

    I agree 100%, what I was referring to was the people who said just get over it, it's really hard for me to tell someone to get over something if I have never experienced what they are going through.

    Lexington Moving Statues

    The purpose of the "agenda" comment was do a majority of the people complaining even care one way or the other? Not claiming they do or not, but are they acting out just because someone else is. And everybody does have an "agenda", what I meant was are they truly upset or are they using these...

    Lexington Moving Statues

    I didn't want to post on this topic because I consider myself short in the tooth and am by no means a history professor, but the purpose of this forum is to interact and share opinions. So here is my opinion. I was never a slave, nor was anyone in my family a slave or slave owner, so I find it...

    Mrker for spot sprayer.

    Same one it's a blueish/green more designed for spraying yards with pre-emergent, they make it look close to green. Guess nobody wants a red or orange yard.

    Mrker for spot sprayer.

    They make a dye, pretty inexpensive it comes in a shade of green, but a different tone thn the color of the grass. You can see what you sprayed.

    The Myth of Rural Culture

    As far as the safety and people stopping to check on you I think the bad people, have ruined it for the good. I always try to stop and help people, but these days I would not do it with my wife or kids in the truck. Just too many people out there that their bad habits are more value able than...

    The Myth of Rural Culture

    Just my 2 cents, but I was born in the mid 80's, I think my generation was the beginning of the end of what is used to be. In my opinion entitlement is the main killer, not everybody can be a manager or a business owner, but if you are willing to put in a hard days work and listen and not talk...
