    Ford Super Major tractor

    I am going to look at this tractor in a few days and was wondering if anyone had any experience with them. He said it was like a ford 5000 series from the early 60s. It has a front end loader. Any input would be helpful.

    feeding round bales

    Here goes another "beginer" question. When feeding round bales in a hay ring, should the bale be laid over flat or left on the round side where it could roll if it was not in the ring? I lay mine over, but someone I work with told me he thought you were supposed to leave them up. I guess...

    Will a Ford Jubilee tractor move a round bale?

    Question about feed

    I hear a lot of you say that you dont raise cattle out of a feed sack and I am trying to get an idea of what that means. I am extremly new to this but I have my cattle on some land and every day after work I feed them a few scoops of 20% cubes. To me that seems like the thing to do because...

    Has anyone tried this?

    http://cgi.ebay.com/CATTLE-COW-MANAGEME ... dZViewItem It seems like this might be a good product for the money. I only have a few head so I need an inexpensive way to keep records and i think this might be just the ticket. Any opinions?
