    The ones in my area are adapting. They are going after older calves. The one we lost this week was a week old. They circle the mom and calf with about 20 birds, and they will either work her over till she can't keep them off, or get her so turned around she starts stepping on the calf, and...

WRFarms, Hypothetically speaking, someone may have tried it, and did not see any results M-5, in the past, the market around here does not like the calves...

    black buzzards, any other ideas

    I practice SSS, but they are getting wise to when i'm at the farm, and stay out of shot gun range. Any one had any luck hanging an Effigy or dead one upside down from a tree or pole? If so, about how many would i need to cover, say a 10 acre pasture? Any luck with a Donkey? If so, is there any...

    Starting over, Fencing recommendations

    Standing in mud

    NCRS programs (if you can get it) and/or Kentucky cost share (CAIP), will provide assistance on building a heavy use feeding area. I use one to feed on. I use a box scraper about one a month to clean it up and push the manure in a pile to spread later. I put a layer of lime on it ever other...

    Drum Mower questions

    You might be better off to save your $ till February and take a trip to the National Farm Machinery Show, and try to pick one up there. They usually have a couple of vendors there with mowers that are willing to work a deal so they don't have to ship it back. Just bring your trailer with you...
