    Fiberglass Rods

    Any happen to have a source for 1-1/4” fiberglass rods? I feel like I have searched the entire world wide web to no avail. I found a couple places that have them but nothing over 6 foot.

    Cattle Hauling

    I don't really have any experience with having cattle hauled here outside of locally but I have a bull coming from Florida, so around 12-13 hours. I guess in my mind I at first thought it would be a straight trip but then depending on time and if facilities were available they might 'lay over'...

    Mostly Heifer calves

    I still have some to calve but the first 5 have been heifer calves this year. Last year I only had 2 bull calves. Same bull was used for last years batch and this year. This would be these cows 2nd calves. I think between last year and this year so far we are at 86-87% heifers? You think a...

    24’ Calves

    That time of the year again. These are the second calves from this group. Three have been born so far. These are the second round from that bull some of you may remember that would steal milk from the cows. His calves did good but he got a trailer ride. I have a bull coming soon from Gizmo...

    2 year old bull nursing..

    I never could tell for sure but I had some suspicion that my bull was nursing my cows but this morning it was definitely confirmed. I went down to check on things and I saw him chasing one around with his head under her. When she would stop he would nurse and he had the milk pouring and wouldn’t...

    Old Fence Charger

    I was helping my brother in law clean up the farm he bought next to me today and I came across an old fence charger. Anyone ever see one of these or know much about it? I’m not going to use it but it had me curious.

    First one for 23’

    I figured I would share how my group of red angus heifers do with calving this year and give me something to reference as well. First to calve was 221. It was either last night or this morning. I noticed her udder swelling the past couple days but sometimes heifers will take forever it seems...

    Doubled

    Our gun season started Monday so that’s how some of my family and I will be spending it. My brother in law and I sat together last night and shot a couple of nice does that came in. Both shot with .350 legends. He’s tagged out, I am still after a buck.

    Kicking myself…

    I bought a bull back in April to use on my herd of heifers. He was 13 months then. I guess I hoped he would grow into something decent being that young but in the back of my mind I knew better. The group of heifers I got seem to be really decent and then I go and buy a steer with nuts to put...

    Composite Decking

    We are probably going to do redo our porch next year and so I am doing my research now. Do any of you have any experience with composite deck boards? The porch is 1500 square foot so I was looking at something to cut down the maintenance.…

    Hitching a Ride

    I was driving my utv today when I caught something out of the corner of my eye. I turned my head and this snake was by my head for a ride. Harmless but a little startling. I passed the ups guy on the driveway and I thought he was waving at me but he may of been pointing at the snake.

    Plumbing Experts?

    So I am having an issue at my house that I can’t seem to figure out. When we take a shower in the master bath upstairs it will smell quite frankly like a septic tank for a little bit. The weird part is this smell is not really in the bathroom. You smell it outside of the bathroom, also going...

    Do you live on the farm?

    We currently live on our farm and we were planning on rebuilding a home in the next year to two. I got to thinking after doing some reasearch and whatnot, my wife and I can barely decide what we are going to eat for dinner most of the time so building a house might be a nightmare…There are also...

    Coyotes

    Caught these two pups out today around noon. There was a third one but I didn’t see it quick enough.

    Grader ID?

    We got a bad rain last night and a neighbor came over today and notice the driveway was bad and said he was bringing me over this thing to use. He just dropped it off and I have to admit I haven’t seen one. He got it from someone he knows that works county roads. Anyone know what these are...

    Hauling cattle, Own Trailer vs Hired

    Anyone not own a trailer? I am going to pick up a bull today and I have to keep reminding myself that I need to put the sticker on the license plate before I leave. It‘s been in the envelope since last year, that’s how much I use a trailer. So, I have thought if I shouldn’t just find someone...

    Tractor coolant leak?

    I have a 2018 JD 5075e. Yesterday I was going down the driveway and got out for something and noticed something was leaking a little bit on the side of the tractor. It ended up being coolant. I could see multiple spots under the hood and in various locations. I’m assuming the fan blade was...

    Crossing County Road with Cattle

    I have been kicking around the idea for awhile about grazing my hayfield and one of the challenges is that a county road splits my pastures and field. I was wondering if there was anyone that does this and if so, what do you do? I’m not talking about a cattle drive down the road with horses and...

    Yearling Bull Size (Angus)

    I am starting to look for a bull and was wondering what you would expect a yearling angus bull to weigh in general? Not something that has a feed truck pulled up beside it. I was looking through one breeders selection that is near here and besides looking like most of them should of been cut, it...

    Let the unrolling begin..

    Well actually I won’t be feeding hay for a little bit. I haven’t had cattle here the entire growing season so the group of heifers I bought at the end of October are working away at quite a bit of fescue. The past couple years I have experimented with unrolling and bale grazing and for here I...
