    Pregnancy Testing

    What is the best test, other than palpation, for determing if a cow/heifer is pregnant? I'm looking for some alternatives to getting a vet out to palpate, as I am not qualified myself. In the past we have pretty much kept bulls out year round, but now we're trying to go to more defined calving...

    Outrageous hay prices

    I have a question for those that sell hay, and the question is - How much profit is too much to make when selling hay? In other words, is 25% profit too much, or 50% profit, or 75%, or maybe even 100% or more? The reason I ask is because, as you all know, we're in short supply of hay down here...

    Speaking of Remedy, does anyone know where it can be bought in a 55 gal drum? I know it can be purchased by the gal at TSC, etc. but would like to buy it in a bigger volume to save a little.

    Case IH 585 hard to start

    We recently took a Case IH 585 tractor in to have a leaking injection pump fixed. We took the whole tractor to a shop that specializes in diesel injection repair. They removed the injection pump, repaired , and reinstalled, so they do all the timing work. Now that we have the tractor back it...

    Annual Cost per head

    After reading Caustic's post on cost I was wondering what everyone's annual cost per cow is just figuring feed, hay, minerals, vaccine and anything else you put directly into the cow. I figured our cost around $285.00 per cow this year. That cost includes the following: - Cubes - 2 round...

    Hughesnet

    Do any of you use Hughesnet satellite internet service? If so, do you like the service, and would you recommend it? I am currently on dial up, connection speed normally 19.2, and satellite service seems to be my only option in the rural area where I am located.

    How much do you estimate this load to weigh? It is 14, 6x6 coastal round bales on a 30' gooseneck trailer. I didn't run it over scales, just wondering if I was close in my estimate.

    Diesel prices - Campground

    Since Camp is our resident expert on fuel and its refining I thought I would ask his opinion on this subject, but anyone else feel free to chime in on the matter. A few months ago I traded in my gas guzzling 318 Dodge 1500 for a Dodge Cummins 2500. The gasser got about 14-15 mpg and I am...

    Washington legislation

    I heard something about this on the radio today. It has to do with annulling marriages of couples who do not have children within the first 3 years of marriage. Just plain crazy! ------------------------------------- If passed by Washington voters, the Defense of Marriage Initiative would...

    Ordering tobacco online

    Does anyone know of a place where I can order tobacco/snuff online, such as in Tennessee, Kentucky, etc? They're raising the taxes on tobacco here in Texas again, so I thought I would look into online ordering.
