    eliminating wild blackberries

    I wanted to circle back and take a minute to thank those that responded. Waited on the white flowers was an awesome plan in that you could easily find the hidden patches. I hand sprayed remedy (non restricted) and appears to have done a great job. I did not spray all of it but so far has...

    2-4D, Amine or Ester?

    How do you differentiate? I know there is a chemical difference, where do you use one over the other? Thanks

    eliminating wild blackberries

    Well the white flowers are starting to pop up now, so I am getting ready to roll. Going to use Remedy. Should I remedy and water or Remedy and diesel. Should I wait for ALL the plants to flower as maybe 20% are flowering. What is the timeframe the flowers are around and the best timing...

    eliminating wild blackberries

    Thanks for all the educational replies. In preparation of the spring spraying, I think it might be best to mow the area to get rid of the old growth so when I do spray I hit nothing but new growth. Is blackberry one of those plants that will start another plant with the cuttings left in the...

    eliminating wild blackberries

    North Texas pasture. I have 1-2 acres of random wild blackberries in a pasture. I am strongly considering to spray diesel and remedy or maybe water and remedy. I feel the remedy and diesel will more easily reach the root system in this dormant season. I know it will be a multi year project...

    2-4D amine or ester

    I have a lot of oak trees and pasture includes them. If I want to get rid of poison oak or ivy, is amine or ester better? Hand spraying. how about pasture spraying with Grazon?

    Desert Termites

    As a result of the ongoing drought and the above termites I have lost 25% (bare spot) in the middle of my best pasture. Do I have to address these little boogers or will they simply have less influence when I start getting normal rainfall amounts. The termites typically go after dry/dead...

    Pretty ticked off

    "And they perpetuate the problem through ignorance." In Frankie's catalog case though, I suspect greed. Why would anyone knowingly expose themselves, or their operation, to such negative scrutiny? I think a little negative press /buzz (or a lot) will take the "ease" of selling carriers...

    Sexed Semen

    I bought 5 heifer straws of Mytty in Focus. Those straws bred 4 cows, 3 being heifers. Appears 1 for 3 with Predestined so far.

    Louisianna Angus Association Bull sale, 1/23/2010

    There are too many uninformed buyers regarding genetic defects, so I feel we have an obligation to not sell carriers. I am sure at any sale with carriers, (they do the right thing, haha) they announce "this bull has tested positive for a lethal genetic defect. If you turn him out with...

    Louisianna Angus Association Bull sale, 1/23/2010

    Kingfisher, I am not "trying" to say anything. I felt I was pretty direct and to the point. I was "saddened" to see that a State breed association would sell untested, or worse yet, sell carrier bulls. Why not sell the bull(s) for hamburger and not pass this genetic crap on to a less informed...

    Louisianna Angus Association Bull sale, 1/23/2010

    Looked over the offering and it would appear that there is a number of AM and NH untested and carrier bulls being offered. Just does not seem right. Someone or a lot of someones, down the line, will certainly see a few dead calves after waiting anxiously 9 months.

    FCS Frustration

    036, I have not heard anything about 036 and FCS. I do not see Freestate Barbara 871 of Kaf in 036's pedigree, who I get the impression is public enemy #1 regarding FCS. Someone put my mind at ease. Please! I have ONE All Around calf who I felt was going to be the only animal of concern with...

    Dreamcatcher Ranch

    Yes, Cowboy43. I know the website says nothing. But...was told by a reliable sounce. Just curious as I consider them a fairly big player in TX.

    Dreamcatcher Ranch

    I heard a rumor that Dreamcatcher is done. Donors sold to Gardiner, everything else sold. Any truth to this?

    KMK Angus Bull Sale

    Maybe selling those 2 carrier bulls is their "parting" gift to the cattle industry. How thoughtful!
