    Springing, but no bagging?

    Not so much the calf but the momma. Fat cows calf harder.

    Springing, but no bagging?

    I have had Angus heifers like that. No bag until after calf was born.

    magnetic block heater

    I would say there is a 'huge' difference between a rebuilt factory starter and a new gear reduction starter.

    Hay Equipment question

    Agree. I have had three Krone’s over the years (one 8’ & two 9’) and they were great machines. They definitely take more horsepower than the 10’ Kuhn I run now but they were super reliable.

    Hay Equipment question

    Was it the exact same failure the 2nd time?

    six week old calf cannot get up?

    I would definitely be on my list. Along with the not getting up on its own. If the vet could diagnose at all, it think I would make certain I was using an experienced large animal vet. Is the calf frothing all the time?

    F-1 Wagyu

    Agree. It is another of many bizarrely successful marketing campaigns.

    Hay Equipment question

    ++++1 I have cut all three ways. 3-point disc mower, trailing mower/conditioner, and docs mower on a caddy. If you do not meds a conditioner, a disc mower on a caddy is by far the most flexible, mobile way to go. If you have to travel from field they are quicker. I would say as long as you are...

    Weed Wiper

    Best of luck. We just learned to accept Johnson grass around here. It has good nutritional value if cut at the right time. The best thing that seems to work is to keep a good plan for reseeding your good grasses.

    Tips Clearing a Plugged Round Baler?

    I do something similar. I have cut across the pickup between a row of teeth to break up the hay with decent success. If that doesn’t work I open the gate.

    Weed Wiper

    What weed are you going after? We use one for Johnson Grass. 10’ rear mount on 4-wheeler. Tried it on front but you could see the tire track overspray.

    Strong Yearling Market

    Sounds great. I haven’t seen $2 in a long time.

    Foam filled post holes

    There are many, many different formulations for expandable foam. Some set very light, airy, and soft and some set much firmer. It is hard to imagine foam ever being as dense as concrete but I could see it working. But cost of material and equipment, and the learning curve may be a big factor.

    Wish I had 50 more just like them

    I fully agree color matters, at least in my area. We had a non-horned bull that threw some horned calves once. I remember hating working them with the horns. Do you have much trouble and do you have a different setup for holding the head? How do get them down the alley?

    Giant hornets in tree

    There is a commercial version that is much oilier and tacky. The last I purchased was in a somewhat plain white can that said Spectracide commercial.

    California bans calf roping

    Then there would be no one left in California!

    Age? Maybe she is older than you think.

    Round balers-twine or netting?

    What type of string are you using? Sisal will rot pretty fast. Plastic/poly string lasts a very long time outside. If the string is truly falling off at the end of the bales, change your tying pattern to move the last wrap back toward the center of the bale and make sure the string overlaps to...

    Open loop /closed loop question.

    This. The flow RANGE on the rock drill is only 7-9gpm. Assuming the skid steer is high flow, it is mostly deadheading. This is really hard on the pump. I would think you could hear some of this when operating the drill (but not actually drilling). It would take some additional plumbing and...
