    After weaning

    I guess my main question is for the buyers, how long should I or others wean before selling.

    After weaning

    How long after weaning should I sell? I’ve recently been told 30 days and no longer. Calves have 2 rounds shots wormed and bunk broke, this Sunday will make 30 days.

    Hay feeder mess?

    We move them once a week whether the round feeder or square bale feeder. Trick is to make them clean it up, then piles equal wasted dollars

    Corn vs pellets

    I ended up taking the dump truck to the ag store, bulk loaded 2 ton whole corn and 860 pounds pellets. Loaded the Pellets into the bin first the started mixing in the corn, they are starting to get some corn in their diets now.

    Corn vs pellets

    So SBMF, are the protein pellets satisfactory in finishing? As for the corn, I’ll have to haul it myself which is no problem, but the question becomes, can I feed the corn as I was the pellets, 5 gallons every other day, or drop the amount and slowly build up. Keep in mind, they have been on...

    I currently have 2 locked up, 1 steer and 1 heifer for fall butcher. I just ran out of 12% pellets. For the final say 3 months, I want to corn feed, corn is hard to come by right now but I found some. Pellets though can be delivered today. Will there be much difference in meat quality corn vs...

    Baler recommendations wanted

    Painting siding

    Depending on how old the hardy is, several years ago they had a lime leaching issue, paint didn’t want to stick to it

    Painting siding

    If it’s been painted in the past and the previous paint is in good condition, spraying will work. Still will need backrolled though. If the siding has never been painted the brush and roll.
