I bought a couple of 500ml bottles of LA-200 last year. Only needed one. The unopened bottle expires in September 2023. Not much chance I'll need it before it expires. Will it still be good past the expiration date if stored correctly? I hate to throw a $100 bottle away.

I've got about 1500' of perimeter fence to build along a county road. 4" Sq tubing posts 2 3/8" pipe for horizontal. I was wondering if anyone has used the Fast 2k foam filler or something similar for livestock fencing. I broke my back about a year ago and it's hard lugging 80 lb sacks of...

I changed up my procedure for vaccinating cows due to time constraints and 104 Temps. Had 3 head to work so I thought I'd speed up the process and draw up a syringe with enough for all 3. Never again. About the time I stuck her my son hit her with a new eartag...she jumped and I injected her...

My grandson asked me a question I've never been asked & I can't say if I've ever thought about it. When cows drink chlorinated water does it kill bacteria and enzymes in the rumen?

My son wants to use this bull to AI some beefmaster heifers to retain replacements. He should knock off some ear and tighten the leather. The picture makes me think he's lacking in length but it may be the angle. I don't have a problem with him really just wanted to hear everyone's thoughts.

I have JD 5105 tractor and am looking to buy a grain drill. My question is how big of a drill can my tractor pull. I was thinking a 10' to 12'. I've been looking at a BD1110 but wasn't sure if the tractor would work.

I was just wondering if someone has any links to research on the optimum ribeye size for today's consumer? I like a thick steak 1 1/4" to 1 1/2", if we produce animals with larger REA's then we are increasing the serving size of our steaks. I have read posts on this board of animals with 16"...

Are there different strains of the Blackleg virus? Can migrating egrets carry blackleg around? The reason I ask is my neighbor has lost 4 heavy weight calves 600 - 800 lbs. in the last 2 weeks didn't find them until after a couple of days, bloated from the heat, and he talked to the vet and...

Beefmaster calves. Opinions please. I'm not as happy with this years calves as in the past, cows had a really dry winter and low quality hay. Bad management; my bad. I'm hoping they will catch up as soon as the grass comes on.
