We have had so much rain around Memphis it ain't funny...ain't complaining though. Pastures are still pretty lush. I took cows off of the pastures a couple of months ago and the grass is jumping I guess from the fertilizer from the cow manure. It's been hard to cut and get it baled between...

This will be my last cutting on some pastures I have used for the cows but intend to make hay fields out of next year. They are about 6 to 8 inches in mixed grass and kinda thin in places. Would I be better to bale it and get it off before limeing or cut it and let it lay there to put some...

I came home yesterday to discover that my 3 little piglets had gotten out and were dead. At first I thought it was the dogs and was bout ready to pass around a dose of lead poisioning until picking them up to dispose of them it looked like major cuts in them instead of teeth gashes like from a...

I just bought enough fertilizer to do about 10 acres and ran out before finishing the field. It is very noticeable where I ran out too! It's like you can't afford to fertilize but you can't afford not to.

Exactly as I thought. Thanks!

I built or am building a shed off my barn. I aquired some metal roof trusses and set them on 6x6 posts and off of the existing post in the barn. I picked up some metal zee purlins and though I have never put any up I suppose you stand them on end and either bolt or weld them to the trusses?

dinner plate then...unless someone comes along and buys him first.

Sale barn i guess.

I took a load to the sale a couple of weeks ago and the man running the sale said he suspected he'd bring around $800 so I brought him home. I paid $1400 for him last year. Maybe private treaty sale would bring more out of him. He threw some good calves last year I just hate to give him away at...

I know it's been on here a lot but my search didn't go well....I have a 3 year old angus bull that probably won't bring much at the sale and I'm thinking how would he taste???

Caustic I had wondered about doing just that. I have a small trailer already and access at work to tanks. What kind of pto pump should I look at? TSC?

I will be using a 65 hp tractor, 3 poing hitch and spraying hayfields averaging 10 15 acres in size each. The barn is accessible from all fields for refilling. I don't have much experience with spraying.

does tsc sell a good pasture sprayer? To spray 20 acres what size tank should I get and are they pto driven? Thanks.

I have on hand one new tractor, one decent Ford 5000 tractor for raking and back up, new Case IH square baler, good rake and cutter, JD round baler and a 80/64 foot barn for storage. I plan to buy an accumulator and grapple from Haymaster for loading squares. As has been said here before you got...

Thanks, that looks easy enough to build. I wonder how it would do on butter beans?

Earl, that sounds good. I remember that my grand dad had made one. It was a big wooden box type thing with a screen under it. It seems like it would take a whole bunch at one time. That was long ago.

Does anyone know how to build a pea sheller?

Does anyone know how to build a pea sheller?

"Most" of my ground is in bermuda with some clover and such mixed in. The ground I am cutting for hay is far poorer than my pastures and really need reworking. I have trained horses for the past 17 years and know a lot of horse people in the area that I think I can make hay customers out of but...

For the last 4 years I have been working on building a small herd of mixed angus cows. So far I have 20 momma cows and one registared black angus bull, and 14 calves 350 to 500 ready to go to the sale. I have 2 good tractors, a john deere round baler and new case ih square baler along with a...
