O K, first of all, I know all about a cows stomach being like 10 times as big as their brain, so maybe that explains somethings. But, yesterday morning, I went outside, saw the cows, they all came up to me expecting to be fed, (that is all but one), but I was busy with yardwork so didnt even...

Have any of you guys used the round bale sleeves for covering the bales. They appear to be a fairly thick plastic sleeve which just slides over the bale. They are about $55 for 25 sleeves, so around $2 a sleeve. Do these work as well as covering with tarps? I realize the ends of the roll will be...

If any of you folks get to the Ft. Worth area any time soon, then be sure and check out the new Cabelas store on 35W and Hwy. 170. The grand opening is next weekend, but they had a preview weekend this past weekend, and we went and checked it out. They have a huge walk through aquarium, with...

Has anyone heard anything about this place? I've been there a few times and was planning on selling some calves there in a few months. They had a very nice website, and I used them to get local prices, since they are only about an hour away from me. When I tried to pull them up this morning, I...

This is so funny it will boggle your mind. And you will keep on trying to outsmart your foot but you just can't. 1. While sitting at your desk, lift your right foot off the floor and begin making clockwise circles in the air with your right foot. 2. Whilst doing this, begin drawing...

LIVESTOCK Injunction will keep Canadian border closed to live cattle for now Federal District Court Judge Richard Cebull Wednesday granted a preliminary injunction that will bar imports of live Canadian cattle into the US. Resumption of live cattle trade was expected to begin as soon as...

Has anyone in here been to an A*L*O*T sale? They are having a bull sale later this month. I am not having any luck finding anyone around here with black angus for sale, so I thought I might make a weekend of it and head up there to the sale. It is a bull only sale, but since it is only angus, I...

I recently picked up a used tractor that runs great but leaks oil from around the rear splined shaft seal. I started taking out the 4 bolts holding on the seal housing and notice that the 6 spline pto shaft was sliding out with the seal housing. The shaft spins freely from the seal, so its not...

I stopped down last night after the Maverick game and caught a few minutes of the Country Music Awards. Man, was I ever disappointed! While I admit country music isn't my preferred listening (most radio dials in my truck are set for sports talk / old R&R), I didn't know it had gotten that bad...

the Bambino may finally be lifted and replaced by the "Curse of A-Rod!!!" What a series this was and it is so great to see A-Rod foiled again.

Was at salebarn last weekend, and had my wife with me. We were watching the guys preg check and vaccinate the cows in the squeeze chute. Didnt think much about it until she asked me if the guy ever changes gloves while he preg checks the cows. We watched him check probably a hundred cows, never...

I noticed in another thread that most of you guys use yur own numbering system for ear tags. I really like Certherds idea about the yr of birth and a number for a small heard like mine.....such as 2004 calves will be 401,402,etc. 2005 calves will be 501,502 etc. I also like the idea of giving...

How bout them Cowboys!!! I just got an e-mail from a buddy of mine who works for the ticket (Dallas area sports station), and he told me that the Cowboys just released Quincey Carter. Not sure what happened, but he said Quincey got his stuff and left camp this morning.

Let me preface this by stating that I try and support the local businessman whenever it's practical. I try and use the local hardware store instead of the big box stores, mainly because he was here before the depots and he treats me well and has most everything I need. Plus, he is closer and I...

Has anyone ever used the chemical AMBER for pasture weed control? I was told that GRAZON could only be sold to liscensed chemical applicators but that AMBER is pretty much the same stuff. It only requires 1/2 ounce per acre and supposedly kills the same broadleaf weeds that GRAZON does. Any...

From what I gather, most folks wean calves at about 7 mos. Is this to allow the already rebred cow a couple months to get her act together and prepare to nurse the coming newborn calf? If so, then what if the cow wasn't rebred right after giving birth, is it still necessary to wean the calf or...

I am getting ready to wean a couple of calves and was wondering if there is any advantage to using city water vs. pond water. The pasture I am going to wean them in has a large pond, and they go in there to cool off and have been drinking from it when there are in this pasture, but they also...

Can some of you folks tell me which salebarns in N texas have Saturday sales? I know of the Mineral Wells and the Van Zandt auctions, but are there any others?
