Anyone on here able to provide a link or explain to me how to calculate what size solar panel I would need to charge the battery on our fencer? How big a panel can you use without a charge controller? I've searched, but am getting myself more confused. Thanks for any help.

Thought some of you might be interested to see the three MG bulls we will be using this year. The first is 024, a 3 year old. The other 2 are 2 year olds. They are all half brothers. I haven't posted any pics in a while. I think we're making some progress. 024 024 109 109 131 131

Anyone have any opinions on JD 5420? We've always had old worn out tractors that you usually have to spend more time working on than you do using them. We are thinking of upgrading and there is a 5420 for sale here. Anyone have suggestions about this tractor or others in the 65 hp class? I'm...

MG Heifer MG Bull Calf Crossbred Heifer Calves

What would you estimate the BCS of these two cows? Sorry about the picture quality.

If you turned out your cows with one bull per 30 head, what percentage would you expect to be pregnant during the first 21 days? And what percent in the first 2 heats?

We have recently leased some property that should allow us to double the number of females that we have over the next couple of years. We currently have a herd of Murray Grey and MG cross cows as well as a few angus. With the increase in herd size, I know I will have difficulty finding enough...

Anyone know why the search function is unavailable about 95% of the time? What a pain.

We are getting ready to AI. This year we had a few stragglers that barely made it in our breeding window. They calved about 3 weeks ago and I haven't seen them in heat, yet. We plan to start synchronizing the cows this weekend. I am wondering if anyone here has suggestions for synchronizing...

We have a 130 gallon 3 point hitch sprayer that I would like some advice on the pressure gauge. We have difficulty calibrating the spray volume and I believe it is because the gauge is not accurate. When the sprayer is running the needle will bounce at least 10 psi with the vibration of the...

Anyone familiar with Memo loaders? We have the opportunity to purchase one, but I can't find any information about them. Anyone know who manufactures them?

We are looking to get a new drill. We will be using it to overseed ryegrass and clover into bahia and bermuda sod and to establish new bahia pasture. I am looking for opinions about different brands of drill. We are looking for a drill that can plant seed as small as white clover at an...

Anyone on these boards use wormer as their main fly control? We don't usually worm our mature cows, but last summer, we had a few that looked to need worming. I treated about 20% of the cows with generic ivermectin pour on and within 2 days, the flies were gone and stayed gone for about 6...

I'm looking for some info on hard surfacing plow points. My uncle has a road construction business that does quite a bit of welding. Their welding supply dealer recommended 12018 rods for hard surfacing plow points, but it seems to be wearing down as fast as the unsurfaced points. Does anyone...

How does this bull's phenotype suit you? Do you think he would sire easy keeping daughters?

We have AI'd our herd for the last 2 seasons and are getting ready again. The first year, we used Lutalyse and CIDRs with ok results, but didn't like the expense. Last year we bred on natural heats, but I can't invest that amount of time spread out over a month this year. I have read some on...

We've had three heifers now that won't milk. One last year and 2 this year. All three calved and mothered up. Calves would nurse, but after about 48 hours seemed to be really going downhill. Brought cows into the chute and couldn't get milk from any of them. Actually the cow last year could...

Anyone (Aussies) on here ever heard of or practiced Keyline cultivation of pasture as described by PA Yeomans? I recently stumbled across this surfing the web and it is pretty interesting. If anyone has hands on experience, I have a few questions. I'll wait to see if anyone responds before...

I'm looking for a video that was posted as a link on either this board or ranchers.net some time back (maybe 2 years ago). I have searched, but been unable to find it. The video was of an automated handling system at a feedlot. The system took a photo for hip height, weighed the calves and...

Anyone have any opinion on aluminum vs plastic sprayer tanks?
