I have heard good things about CattleMax, i plan of trying the free trial. Thanks!

I am currently using excel to track my herd's records (roughly 40 cows & 30 calves). I was curious if anyone has had any luck with an app or software that makes record keeping more efficient. Thanks in advance!

This is all great information and I lot to digest. I know I will use guardrails as I have a lot of extra ones on the farm currently. RDFF- for the alley's being 29" is that the number you feel like is a good common width when working both calf's and cows? Ones that want to turn around can be a...

Does anyone have any advice when building a new coral system/ catch pen? I have a Priefert 135 degree tub and sweep w/ alley that i'll use with my squeeze chute. I have gone back and forth on ideas for catch pen set up, etc... Just can't decide on one yet. I believe I will do a 40X60 heavy use...

I recently purchased a farm truck that came with a 50 Gal fuel tank. Pump on it works, but once I drained the old deisel out, I noticed some rust in the bottom of the tank. Has anyone else cleaned a tank like this, if so what product did you use? I have looked on the internet and vinegar seems...

I drained and removed and cleaned/washed/ out a tank on a Kubota this past hay season after having trash get into my tank. It is a bugger to do but needed it. I can't imagine doing it once a season as a preventative measure.

Very helpful, thanks again for the insight... I have bulk feed being delivered next week and will be putting these steers on it at 9 months rather than 14! Thanks again, much appreciated.

Thank you for the explanation and I really appreciate the advice & guidance. To be honest my only reason to "background" them has been to lower my feed cost and let them graze for, 8-14 mo rather than feed them for the entire time. I have not really considered feeding them the entire time while...

That’s great info and I really appreciate the in depth response. Just want to make sure I am understanding your post. Your saying after I finish weaning them and placing them on grass for roughly 6-8 month before introducing grain that it is harming their marbling? If so what would you suggest...

So right now I have 8 steers that are grazing a field. My plan was to let them get to 14-16 months before graduating them to grazing plus feeding grain once a day. When feeding grain I would step them up to about 25# of 14% feed daily. This would be over 120 days with the idea to send them to...

Good to hear that we have another member from SC. I got involved with my family farm in 2020 which was primarily registered black angus. After selecting 20 Heifers to start my own herd, I decided to focus on beef finishing and selling to local customers. I really am interested to learn more...

Hello, new to this forum and excited to learn from the other members and discuss cattle topics. Currently I am cattle farming in SC, raising black angus. I Look forward to learning more from everyone.
