Hot dogs?

Which type of pen do you like the best?

Yeah, it doesn't appear to be the best. When I looked at them last weekend I didn't think the feet looked horrible. Maybe more like 4 or 6 pic that was in the link that Stickney94 sent.

Those are just the algo numbers and I can view it prior but to be honest I am not sure I would know what I am looking for. The sire is GAR Sure Fire.

Would you buy a bull that had EPD of 80%+ in both or one of these two categories?

Pavlov's dog or cow in this scenario.

Maybe I need to start doing this. Would it be frowned upon to buy a few from a relative and sell a few to that relative for the same price? If the farms are connected does one really even need to separate the bought or sold cows or can they stay where they currently reside?

How many head can you run on the 240 acres? How much is the initial cost of facility improvements going to cost? Is there enough land to produce hay and if so what will it cost to bale it if you don't have the equipment. Conservatively, you should be able to get 30 head on it. Can calves net...

Mowed the yard on Saturday then shoveled the driveway on Sunday. Grandpa always said you need to be able to feed hay until April 1st.

Thanks for the information. We are looking to dig a new well and will need it to run via solar power.

Just wanted to post this for reference. http://www.cattlerange.com/cattle-graph ... mbers.html

Well, I started with heifers and bred heifers and still have no trailer. All my calves will be sold at the sale barn and when they go I think someone will be getting some decent ones. To each their own and good luck.

So, is it a given that prices in the spring are ALWAYS higher than in the fall? If one has the hay where is the extra expense as it doesn't last forever?

If you have a fall and spring calving season would that help in diversification? Meaning maybe the prices are better in the spring vs fall or vice-a-versa. We produce enough hay to feed our cattle over the winter and don't supplement much so the input costs should be relatively the same. But I...

I've heard Avon Skin so Soft works on chiggers and ticks.

Congrats, cute little joker.

I've heard of a 60/40 split. Whoever owns the land and cattle gets 60%. Have also heard of a price per head where you supply the cattle and they take care of everything else. I have not done either but just showing a few different options. Good luck.

I would not borrow from the 401K. If the company lets you go you must repay that or get hit with a 10% withdrawal fee. Not sure how much you are putting in a year but hopefully you are doing up to what the company matches, if any. That is 100% return on that money. If you are putting more...

I am planning on it taking slightly over 3 years. If the market goes lower and have more than a few not make it it will obviously be longer.

Dang, I am sorry to hear that.
