Has anyone ever come up with a simple way to move a semi trailer around with a tractor? I was looking around for a way to go 3 point to king pin, but of course the pin is 2 feet behind the front of the box. I used my 3 point gooseneck, into a hole in the trailers hitch plate. She moves it but...

So how many out there have had trouble with bloat on clover and when do you start to worry about it? Some fields we're drowning in it white clover, crimson clover, hop clover, red clover as far as the eye can see. Tiss the legume season, but most will easily stick around all summer. Some...

3yo Red angus, I want to go have a look but he's a solid hour away. PB, sire registered dam not. Looks solid to me, maybe a little thin in the hip section? I'm torn between him and a beautiful registered simangus I looked at a few days ago, the Red is half the price.

So many things wrong here...

Anyone used red angus bulls on BA and black baldys (Angus/Hereford)? What sort of calves would you expect? Ultimately I'm looking for some red baldy heifers, perhaps a minority but some. Of the RA/BA/HF likely 75% turn out red?

I'm curious how many folks utilize or have used section 179 (4562 form) to expense 100% of equipment costs in that year vs. the depreciation method? Has anybody had issues doing this for Tractors, trucks, implements ECT. I bought another tractor, a batwing and a drill to name a few in 2021 so...

My first set of twins in years, guess my streak ran out. Two big heifers. Any merit to the theory that nutrition level during conception will cause/influence twins? I know some folks that are always dealing with them. It'll be a decent deal if I can keep em both going.

What's everyones strategy on coyotes? I've got fall calves on the ground. I've got some mama's that will chase down and try to trample anything especially dogs. But a friend told me he spotted a coyote in one of my fields the other day (around 5pm) I had a 7 weight steer killed by them years...

I've got an opportunity to pick up some bred South poll 3 yr old cows. I raise all black and some baldies about half registered half commercial. The way I market, I sell most my steers in fall after weaning. Hold my nice heifers to yearlings and sell as replacements. You'll never have trouble...

USDA processors are booked up months and months in advance. And have been for a while. So I am contemplating opening a meat processing facility, something I've considered for a while. I work in industrial refrigeration by trade so I have extensive knowledge of that side of a facility like...

I have a 9 month old heifer calf with reoccurring issues. She's around 300lbs. She has bloated three times, all due to the way she lays and sleeps. She doesn't sleep on her chest with her legs curled, as they should. But rather on her side, sprawled out. This has caused rumen gas build-up, I've...

Hello all, I run an Angus cow/calve operation. I rarely finish out cattle. Generally, I sell my calf crop in the spring just prior to calving season. And the cycle goes on... But recently in the last few years, I've held back a steer, usually the smallest one of the spring group. To finish out...
