    Anybody tried to buy Levasole (of any kind) lately?

    ...with any success? We raise goats (yeah, I know, I know :lol2: ) and the '-ectin' wormers are losing their effect in my area.. Everybody's been using Cydectin for the last few years after Ivomec stopped working, and I know of some folks who have actually lost goats this year to worms even...

    Need opinions on possible truck purchase

    Been looking for a farm truck for a while now.. I don't want anything I'd be afraid to get scratched (or dented) up, which means most of what people consider "farm trucks" nowadays ($40K+) are out the window. Basically, I want a reliable 3/4-ton beater. Called about an old Ford I saw the...

    Reckon this is a good deal?

    2003 Dodge Ram 3500 1-Ton Dual rears (of course) "Quad Cab" four door Cummins 24V Turbo Diesel Automatic transmission Power everthing (windows, locks, etc) New-looking, but plain-jane flatbed made by "CM Trailers" 144K Miles The only thing I could see wrong was that it had a little bit of paint...

    Kentucky Deer Hunting

    Saw a Texas thread and a Minnesota thread, knew there were a lot of Kentuckians here, so I thought I'd open a thread to see how my fellow Kentuckians were faring this season.. I almost got run over by a doe while splitting firewood in the woodlot last weekend, but I haven't actually made it out...

    Freakin' headgate...

    So, I buried a crosstie in the barn the other day, spaced headgate-wide from one of the barn's structural posts. Got'er about three feet deep and dropped in two 80lb sacks of concrete. Good and solid. So, I drag the automatic headgate over to the posts to position it in place only to...

    Criticize my facility ideas, please.

    Hey gang. Long time, no see. :oops: Lots done, still a lot -- but not nearly as much -- left to do.. Went back and forth over where to locate my chute/alley/headgate about million times, and finally came up with what I think is a pretty good idea. I'm counting on you guys to tell me...

    Would you buy it?

    I'm looking to buy a decent old work truck, but I'm not looking for payments. That's code for "cheap." :lol: I put about 22-25K mi/yr on vehicles, so it needs to have some life left in it. I found one that might fit the bill, but I'd like some input. 1991 Dodge Ram 250, Cummins Diesel...

    Question -- Hi-Tensile wire on T-Posts?

    I have a T-Post concreted into a dip in the terrain, with wood posts uphill on either side. I need a post in that specific spot in order to bring the wire down into the dip, and I used a t-post because I couldn't get a 6" hole there more than a foot without dynamite. It's concreted in for...

    Trailer brake questions

    I picked up a 16' bumper pull stock trailer at auction a few weeks back. I didn't think it had brakes when I bought it because, like a dummy, all I did was look behind one of the front tires and didn't see a drum. When I got it home and pulled the wheels to replace the tires, I saw that it...

    How hot is too hot?

    Just wondering when you guys say "enough is enough" when it comes to working in the heat? Do you guys work early and late to avoid working in the hottest part of the day, or do you just stick it out to get done what needs getting done? For me, personally, I won't work outside if it's over...

    Where do you weigh your cattle?

    How many of you folks have scales on your farms? I've been to quite a number of auctions on farms around here, and I've never seen a livestock scale... I'd really like to buy some weaned steers this spring from a local producer (don't know who yet) instead of buying from the sale barn, but I'm...

    Tips for a seized PTO drive shaft?

    Bought an older post hole auger at auction the other day, knowing full well that the PTO shaft that came with it wouldn't 'telescope'.. :roll: The couplings/ujoints at the ends were a little rusty, but the shaft itself looked pretty clean.. I thought it was probably just a little light...

    Newbie with a plan needs input...

    Hey everybody.. Semi-longtime lurker, first time poster.. :D I bought a fallow central Kentucky farm of about 25 acres almost a year ago, and I've spent that time getting equipment together, cleaning up, and trying to figure the best way for me to run cattle... The farm is basically...
