Mark I know whatcha mean about good hay is hard to find. That's when you buy the best you can get. That still puts your supplement in position to work for you. I watch guys every year go out and buy the cheapest hay and feed roughage tubs, feed, and grain and still lose weight. Its so heart...

Mark as you noticed culls do in fact sell at the sale. To understand why this is you simply answer the question what is a cull? Simplest answer is a cull is a animal cut from a producers herd that didn't meet "their" standards not "the standard". What producer may not want in his herd doesn't...

I'm hoping to be cutting and bailing hay this year. I'm planning on using a JD 348 w/ a bail ejector. I'm thinking about using an old cotton wagon and putting sides on it to catch the bails. The more I look over this system it sure starting to look alittle more like work. I'm kinda starting to...

I'm not using it cause the chicken growers wasting doing what they where suppose to. You could find dead chickens in the litter. This has been out lawed. Now days in north Alabama EPA is keeping up with where the litter is going so I'm told. I bought a house and 25 acres last year. A chicken...

I'm buying 2 parcels side by side [15 acres][6 acres] owner finance. It does'nt matter if its your best friend you get a title search. your friend could have been left the land or even bought it and something could have been over looked. Its not going to matter whoes mistake it is your going to...

Amen. No matter what they comeout with there will never be anyone thing that'll make the inpact that lime does. Just about every additive and the growing cycle of forage lowers the ph in the soil.

I use a Buck 110 folding knife I carry on my side for twine and nippers for wire.

Where do you get your potential weight from? That sorta leaves alot of room. I dont know of any F350 rated over 20,000lbs GCW. F450s and up are rated 26,000lbs and under. I reckon I can see someone putting two 10k axels under a 16ft bumberpull, um but, why? You got to have some kind of way of...

The way I understand you, your clearing an extra $1200 in november??? All your doing is driving. You'll have to decide this one for yourself. I'll tell you this though, I'd do it in a heart beat.

I will not pay more than $200 a ton for hay. I'm feeding glutin, cotton seeds, and wheat mids with my hay. So it goes alot further. Glutin is running $26 ton delivered around here. I hauled it myself for $19/ton.

Jogeephus, Thank you for your post and your insight of VZCR's operation. I dont know much about producing, grading, or harvesting hay. However I am licensed With the state of Alabama and federally licensed to grade grain. The thing is with last years rain shortage and this years drought I...

You are looking in the right direction. If I may I'm going to suggest to you my operation whichs works good for me. I think the way you are talking about doing it is least productive. Dont run the goats with your cattle. If I understand you right you already have cross fences. Run your goats...

I have buttercups and dog fennel also. I just 'em with a 3% solution of gly4. As soon as I see the pig daisy I spray. I cant stand how that stuff smells.

I would worry about the green acorns this time of year. I dont let my cows near my oaks untell november. You think spring grass is bad get a load of acorn tannin. Cows can also get tannin poisioning from early oak leaves on small trees. Hardwood stands are'nt good summer grazing. I know there...

Tell me about it. My cows just leave the roks in the bottom of the feeders. I'll be cutting fescue and pasture grass. I dont what it is to be honest. I'm hopeing by spring 09 I'll have moody grass sprigged. The guy around here is booked pretty solid and this drought has him behind. Some has...

Yea I was making a guess from the person in the picture and the space above their head. I guessed it around 11'. My ponds are only 9'. That was as deep as we could go. I understand what your doing. I dont understand the physics of it though. Our hydrants are just like the diagram in this...

I like this idea. I would use a 1% solution though. That would be more like 1 1/3 oz to a gallon. Then coming back next spring with a burn. If you can get it get grazon sprayed on your field. It'll help stop seed from growing.

Chris thats a nice looking pond. What is that about 11' deep? I'm not questioning weither you know what your talking about.I questiion how to do it. I have a dry hydrant on one of my ponds. Its in use for the fire department for field fires. Where this hydrant is theres is literally 976...

I dont know how it effects the quality. The quality is based on the food value; i.e protein, fat etc,etc. I'm not sure how to explain this. Its matter of speaking starting to rot, or ferment. You might have put it up with to much moisture. Is this hay or straw? Just wondering.
