A SxS is definitely better than an ATV but if going with an ATV I'd look at the Honda Rancher with the auto transmission, independent rear suspension, and power steering. We've had one for 12 yrs and although it doesn't get allot of use now it's been a good rig. We priced a new one last year...

I got sick with a bad stomach issue last year and didn’t eat anything for around 14 days. Once I started eating again I ate 2 eggs for breakfast and homemade chicken noodle soup for supper for a week. My first real meal was a ribeye and I couldn't believe how it made me feel. Felt like my body...

Yes, it seems like people love it. Not sure I could do it long term but think I'd hang in there a month or two to see if I felt better. I'm not a heavy drinker but do like to have a few a couple times a week so that wouldn't be a killer. Vegan on the other hand can't be good for you. I don’t see...

I've been thinking about trying the carnivore diet out for 30 days so been doing some reading up on it. One of the deals that's debated is alcohol consumption. I read several takes on this but the best one was that alcohol lowers your inhibitions which in turn impares judgment and makes it...

If they get caught they lose their job if they take the test they lose their job. Why not risk being caught. It's all a big mess.

If Marijuana is legal can employers still say No Marijuana use? I'd hate to have a coworker even slightly high in my line of work. I've never used Marijuana so don't know anything about the after effects. I do drink but rarely if ever go into work fuzzy headed from the night before. Making...

@Brute 23 We weaned first week in December this year. Calves avg weight I'd guess at 475#. We fed 8# a day until March 15th then tapered off to a few days a week. Our feed cost was $310 a ton so around $1.25 a day per hd. So I'd guess $125-130 per hd in feed and another $6 in shots at weaning...

Friend of mine was doing this when they ran about 1,000 head. Local guys would bring him orphan calves also. He said it really took 4 calves sucking her to break even. Of course calves weren't worth much back then though. It would definitely pay now.

Market has been good this year. We sold a few weeks ago instead of waiting until July like we normally do. Steers averaged 656# and brought $1,815 a head. Heifers averaged 609# and brought $1,545 a head. Not bad for this raggedy group of calves This group just wasn't as good quality wise as...

After allot of thought I think I'm going to go with one like this. I'll probably build it myself since I won't need it for a good while. I like the idea of being able to load out a semi or ground load easily and that we can drag it on a trailer and move it to a different location.

I've been looking at the Arrowquip load out chutes and like their design. The ramp pivots up or down at about the 4' mark so you can load a ground load trailer or a Semi from the same spot. The thing I don’t like about them is the truck driver has to walk up the ramp to sort the cattle once they...

I've looked at the one in the link and it seems like the best overall deal. I'm debating on buying that one or building one. The cost to build one is about half of that asking price. The plans I ordered are nearly identical but use square tubing instead of pipe. The square tubing is a little...

We've been carrying our calves to a friends place to ship them for allot of years now. This seems to put allot of extra stress on them so planning on buying or building a Semi load out. I'd like one that can load a semi and a ground load. Has anyone built one? I ordered some plans and they seem...

Thanks for the info. I've always wondered why 2-7/8 and 2-3/8 is called used drill stem or pipe but on rigs you generally see bigger pipe. What is the 2-7/8 or 3/8 production tubing used for? Drawing the oil out?

We've got a M9960 with regen. The regen kicks in about every 8 hrs. You have to keep the tractor above 2,000 rpm for 15-20 minutes but can continue using it. I'll admit the regen is a pain when it kicks in on the way to the barn after doing something or when it kicks in and you need to have the...

https://cccattleequipment.com/ I started with a set of these. Added on a few times and then built a permanent set out of them. The tub is nice but can be a pain if not used correctly.

There's nothing wrong with having nice new or newer equipment. There's also nothing wrong with having older equipment that functions well enough to suit you, everyones situation is different. People seem to go nuts arguing about it though. As far as working facilities go if I didn't have the...

We don’t have a vet that will come out anymore either. The two local vets are a fairly good drive and you need an appointment. Fortunately I can get meds delivered to the house and we still have several good cowboys that are knowledgeable enough to do just about anything the vet would do. Some...

When they handed me the new glasses for the first time I put them on and kinda felt drunk. I told the lady I wasn't sure I could wear them so she took them to the back to make an adjustment. After several times back and forth they got better. She said they were sitting wrong so I was looking...

I just went back to reread this thread and saw the part about bifocals, they very well could have caused the fall. I finally got glasses about a year and a half ago and got progressive lenses. Most people say they make them dizzy at first and they have trouble walking if they look down. I...
