    Sometimes you just do stupid stuff!

    Measure twice, cut once.

    Press??

    Does a 5 gallon pale fit in the middle? Might be a home made apple or wine press? The tread is big for the thickness of the plate, unless there's a nut welded on the bottom.

    lets talk second cut hay

    I'd be suspicious of hay that was on the ground for 1-1/2 weeks, especially if it got rained on a few times. Probably poor quality, but may be okay for filler/roughage if you got good hay to mix it with.

    solar eclipse April 8. This town is going nuts over it.

    Kids got glasses for the eclipse from the school. My daughter is concerned that the cows will be looking at the eclipse with no eye protection.

    This is Crazy over $10/pound!

    It might be worth selling them once they can stand this year. I've seen the beef type bottle calves going $600-$700 at the local feeder sales lately, but $10/lb is a head scratcher. Maybe baby calves is the new gift to replace baby bunnies for Easter in the suburbs this year.

    Average Daily Gain

    Mostly corn feed is great for energy and fattening, but it's only about 9% protein. You might want to use a 14-16% protein grower feed to start and use the corn for final finishing.

    Navel dip

    The kids were wondering why I was pushing Nutella toast for breakfast every morning. Got to empty that jar.

    Navel dip

    I've found that this is the best container for navel dipping umbilical cords with iodine on newborn calves. Wide mouth, ergonomic to hold on to and strong heavy plastic.

    Mostly Heifer calves

    I had a coworker that had this theory about having girls or boys. He said the female sperm (x) are more vigorous and better able to penetrate the egg wall. But, the male sperm (Y) are faster swimmers. So if you want to have a baby boy you have to make for a longer race. He said it's all about...

    Tetanus

    I was looking in the cooler at the feedstore this weekend and there was a box of Tetanus Antitoxin behind something else, but the Tet was covered up. Thought it was a cure for a rough night at Taco Bell.

    Headed to the sale barn

    We had a 550# weaned heifer that a neighbor was boarding for us with 5 others and they broke out. We assumed a bear spooked them at night since people had been see it in the neighborhood. Got all back in but that one. She spent a week on the lamb in the woods and swamp until she showed up at a...

    Lightweights bust thru 4 bucks!

    350 lb calves around us will bring top dollar amount at most feeder sales. I think there are enough small hobby farms and Amish that will buy them.

    Daily Chuckle

    I put it in my front pocket and make sure both arms are full walking out. If they ask to see it, I tell them it's in my pocket if they're feeling lucky they can go get it.

    Rotary cutter suggestions

    We use a JD MX10 for swampy grass and light brush with a 105 HP tractor. Cuts good for us, but were not looking for appearances or fine mowing. We have had issue with the gearboxes too. Dealer replaced the whole gearbox on one side a few months after we got it (used). Neighbor borrowed it last...

    Hello

    Welcome. We have mostly Sim-Angus cross cattle because that's what our local market likes, but we also have a couple British White crosses too. We love the looks of them and there is no cuter baby than a BW.
