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...

I read tonight that a bill passed saying all beef labled Product of USA had to be born and raised in the USA. Did I read this right? The article said Mexico was very upset and worried about this.

We calve for 90 days starting February 7th. This year 60% of the cattle have calved in the first 3 weeks. Best we've done before is maybe 40% in the first month. Wondering how fast you guys are calving out and what number represents good herd health. I'm really happy this year considering how...

Looking at a 1999 Deere 120 excavator with 12,000 hours on it. Haven't seen it in person but seller sent a video of the main issue it has. The hoe won't swing left or right unless you push the right travel lever forward with your foot just a little. Once you push the travel lever a touch the hoe...

A little while back someone posted a video of a freeze proof cattle waterer. It looked like a plastic culvert coming out of the ground and had a little roof with a sensor in it. I can't find it again. Any help?

We got our hay analysis back yesterday and while it didn’t have all the info we wanted the test came back about like I expected. I'm going to try and attach a pic of the report and a link to the sheet I used to calculate things out. What I came up with was that the hay meets a lactating cows...

After reading about Vitaferm in the Ferappease thread we've decided to look into it again. We looked years ago but the closet dealer was a good ways off so we scrapped the idea. After looking we now have a dealer only 25 miles away. I'd like some real world info from those feeding vtiferm. Are...

For anyone wondering gas vs diesel heres a little report. We've got a 2018 powerstroke dually and a 2019 F350 6.2 L gas single wheel with a Deweze bed and feeder on it. The dually was in the shop this week and we had to go get 20 bred heifers in Lorena, Tx which is 220 miles one way from us. It...

Has anyone on here had or have gastroparesis? Been having heck of a time last few years and this is the docs best guess. I passed the test were I ate the sandwich but of course I was well and on meds once I took it. Just wondering.

For the last 10-12 yrs we've ran Angus based cows with Hereford bulls and had really good luck with getting good calf prices. This year we are moving from a primarily Angus based herd to more Brangus based. I've bought 2 Brangus bulls and am needing 2 more. My question is will Brangus x Brangus...

We had a rodeo of sorts 5-6 years ago and ended up with 6-7 13-14 month old heavy bred weaned heifer calves. 1 died trying to calve, 1 I pulled the calf but ruined the heifer for future breeding, 1 calved at the salebarn with the other breds a few days later. Since then we always give 10cc of...

I've noticed a ton of folks online lately are down on GMOs. It seems to be mostly the eat healthy, farm to table, or natural only crowd that are the most vocal, but if you drill down in the comments section they aren't alone. From my research I can't find any real info or studies proving GMOs...

The dang thread about Rodeo Cowboys being tough got shut down. Guess someone's not very tough. Talk about "You Ain't No Cowboy".

I've noticed several Social Media post lately with people saying buy beef from here or there and not to support factory farms. They say to buy grass fed or look for this organizations stamp. I wonder what the public considers factory farming? I'm shipping a load Saturday that will probably avg...

I've struggled for years to grease the CV joint on our bushhog because of how the CV guard is made. Even with the greasing holes it's still hard to do. I stumbled on a video that sure made me feel dumb yesterday. The guy in the video turned the plastic guard until he found the red tab and then...
