    Cow With Calf Aggression

    There is a need to handle a calf at birth if you plan on doing good record keeping and are raising seedstock that you want to backup with info. We send some calves direct to slaughter and it really helps knowing what day they were born and who the momma and daddy are. Sizmic

    Grazon over Ryegrass?

    I have used forefront hl, with success. It's about the same thing, but not quite. Worked great. Sizmic

    Timothy grass?

    Yes, Timothy is comparetively cheap when you look at the whole picture. Less nutrient uptake, less pounds per acre, dang fine hay, but not good for grazing. Sizmic

    No Tail?

    Had a butcher here tell me that the tails are there, they are just inside the animal. They aren't worth as much at the local markets so everyone keeps them and feeds them out themselves. He gets a few like that, but not that many. Totally ruins the central cuts. Sizmic

    Anyone use Ten X? Thoughts?

    He went to $40 because he hadn't been producing for a while, in my opinion. Calves are decent here but nothing to really brag about yet, all went to Iowa for feedout. I really do not see how his $B can hold up that much because there hasn't been any actual carcass data entered yet. The mature...

    propane tractor, good or bad?

    I have been around some propane equipment but not alot. Never had any problems but most of them were generators that were kept at the ready (warm). One thing to remember is the btu equivalent: if gas = 100, diesel =110, propane roughly = 76, natural gas roughly = 52. Meaning, propane is...

    kabota tractors

    I'll preface this by saying we own 5 Kubotas. We have used a few of the others. I bought the last one simply because I didn't want the emission crap on the new ones. It was an M126X. I work for the local fire dept. and we have a truck with the new emissions on it. It is nothing but trouble. The...

    what weed killer do i need?

    The only thing you might get away with is using Prowl very late winter or very early spring. That will control annual weed seeds but I would want everything that has been planted, up and growing. Sizmic

    Gestation records

    I would say that is very close to ours, but I have not run the numbers. I have had some run 15 days early on Angus genetics. Some have been 10 days late too. Sizmic

    Question for Kubota guys

    Buy the 7040 or 8540 now and buy a new kubota baler that will be out possibly next year. Either should pull a 4x5 baler fine if you are not in a hurry. Sizmic

    3 Premature dead calves

    Lucky, since you diagnosed mine back some time ago, I haven't noticed any obvious abortions. We treated the cow and she has since gone on to be our most prolific donor. Some people might take exception to that last statement but she is one dang fine momma cow and so are her 14+ daughters in our...
