    Wagyu bulls for sale

    Hey all, my father in law is looking for 3 Wagyu bulls to breed his heifers to but is striking out in his usual go-to places. Does anybody know of any bulls on the market in the Pacific Northwest? I don't know what my chances are but I figured I'd throw it on here for him. Thanks. Farmer

    New Addition

    She's finally out of FFL jail. Gotta love what King County gets passed. Rock Island Armory 1911 FDE in 10mm. Excuse was someday something big is going to be reintroduced to the Blues and I'll be ready for it, wife was less than impressed with that reasoning. Plus I really thought somebody would...

    Butchering Corrientes

    Hey all, thought I'd try to get some information about corriente carcass quality. I know it's about what you feed them but I'm curious as to how much a steer fed out to around 24-30 months old would weigh. Cracked peas and grain hay to finish them, the cracked peas have made our Jerseys taste...

    Bleeding Out/Home Slaughter

    Merry Christmas Eve to everybody here tonight. We just finished up our 3rd home slaughter today and while other parts are becoming easier the one part that has eluded me has been the process of exsanguination/bleeding out. I've been going in right in front of the breast plate, opening up about a...

    Baler Knot

    Hello again, I've got an interesting knot my baler makes and I'm hoping that somebody here has seen it happen before and where they started at for remedying the problem. The baler is a NH 277, early 70's vintage that I picked up on a whim from an online auction for $1075, I've put a couple...

    Which Direction To Go

    I'm going to guess that there's no right or wrong answer on this one but I thought I'd pick the forum's brain. I came across a fire sale situation on some animals that I think I could cover the cost of half or more of our hay for next winter. I've got a couple scenarios with them which are...

    Older baler comparison

    Thanks in advance for any help. I grew up on a JD 224W baler with a Wisconsin motor, I could make a bale with it most of the time but ultimately the tie system got the best of me as the bill hooks would hold the wire too long and pull the tie in 2 quite often. We rebuilt the knotters, new bill...

    New Calf

    The plan of 2 blue roan Shorthorns and a Hereford didn't work out as planned. My wife did the pickin' and we came home with a black baldy/Charolais cross, a blue roan/black Angus, and a red roan/Hereford. This bull calf came out of the Charolais cross. He's 3/4 Charolais/1/4 Baldy. First calf...

    Shorthorn Knowledge

    For being a farmer that dislikes cows (sarcasm, I can't let my wife know she converted me) I sure seem to have a hard time getting away from this site. Lol. I thought we were done buying any breeding stock until we got some calves sold next winter but my wife came across what I think is a pretty...

    Snorty Heifer

    Hello all, been lurking and learning what I can for awhile now. First off, I'm a farmer that can toss hay, that's about the extent of my ranching knowledge. My wife comes from ranching on both sides of her family but they're on a commercial scale, we're gathering a few pasture pets to put...
