Funny thing drum brakes don’t require calipers . And the required space between brake drum and wheel is smaller then the area of required space between rotor and wheel because a caliper has to be Inbetween the rotor and the wheel. Federal regulations such as reduced stoping distance , four...

Maybe if you used one of them there measurement doohickey thingamobobs you would understand that calipers extend above the rotors more than 2 inches. Much more in some applications. If you use the googley thingomobber you will find that rotor thickness has decreased not increased. You will also...

Actually the opposite is true thicker rotors hold temperature longer then thinner rotors . That's why high performance and some after marker rotors have groves cut in them. To reduce overall metal mass and increase air flow around and in the rotor to reduce heat build up since air dissipates...

Take a tape measure and measure your rotors. 16 inch wheels would fit over them without a caliper or if the exact same diameter brake drum. The issue is a direct result of the caliper.

In the us tire size changed from 16 to 17 and 18 oem when the rear brakes changed from drum brakes to disc brakes. There are absolutely no vehicles in the us that are rated 1/2 ton equivalents and higher with 16 inch oem wheels and rear disc brakes. Rear disc on 1/2 ton equivalent rated...

It’s very simple hot h2o = steam Cool h2o =liquid. As I talked about previously when they started lowering exhaust temps rust became even more of a issue that is why they started using aluminized pipe and then stainless as well as adding weep holes in the exhaust system because the h20...

Never claimed disc or drum was better,only pointed out the facts that rims increased in size do to calipers not brake pads. If you believe the exhaust temps from the muffler back are higher today then in the older vehicles I encourage you to get a temp gun. Guaranteed you have never leaned up...

The reason there was a muffler shop on every corner was because they were simple systems that you could fix. Didn’t have to have thousands of dollars of equipment to ensure your repair was up to epa emission regulations. You bought a stick of pipe bent it to fit picked a standard muffler of the...

It’s not just vehicles. In 1972 he bought 80 acres with 40 water shares. Couldn’t buy it today for 20 times the money. 4 years ago I bought 3 shares of the same water shares for 5k each . Wich would mean the water shares alone (without the property) are worth at least 200k ! Look at the...

In 1974 my dad sold calves at $1lb Took his calf check and bought. A brand new chev heavy 3/4 ton 4x4 truck for less then $7400 out the door. Same truck would be more than 10 times that price today. We aren’t anywhere near $10 lb for calves right now. Not even getting 1/3 of that today. So...

All those bred cows are big money if the big packers take advantage of it. Can make as much of fetus products as they paid for the entire cow if everything is done correctly. Bovine fetus serum is big money . Makes offal prices look like peanuts.

depends on the butcher . Talk with h your butcher about it to find out what he does. And if you have options of letting them hang longer. Some will only let them hang for seven days . Some let them hang same regardless of all burger vs choice of cuts.

Best way we have found to fatten them up is to put the milk in a drum with oats . gain is amazing if you wait until the grain starts to sprout before feeding,if you can.

A carrier can’t be passed on to 100 percent of the offspring. Only way a gene can be passed on to offspring 100 percent of the time is if they are homozygous for that gene. Not supported by science for a carrier to pass on a specific carried gen to all offspring even in cases of prepotentcy .

Have you ever heard of a guy named Charles Darwin? Or the very basics understanding of variation within a species. Know the difference between eastern elk, Rocky Mountain elk,Tule elk, Manitoban elk, marrium elk and Roosevelt elk? How about the difference between the Florida panther and the...

WOW . Mammals don’t have dna . Inbreeding doesn’t create non desirable mutations. It only allows recessive genes already present to be expressed . Allows you to know what is already present doesn’t create genetic mutations

Sexed semen and embryos are a big factor! No need to have 50 percent of your calf crop as a loss of profit. That and the ever decreasing number of dairy’s are effecting the price. Dairy calf prices always spike in the spring as demand increases.

Spaying them is the safest bet

I personally think that the increase of twining is due to changes in how many ranch and how cull priorities have changed. In the past if a cow didn’t have and raise ( without much intervention)a calf every year they took a one way ride to town. In my opinion many are more willing to overlook...

BLM says there average allotment size is about 7,400 acres. A far cry from cows being ably to graze 10s of thousands of acres at a time across a single allotment as claimed! http://archive.gao.gov/d32t10/146906.pdf
