    Financing Cattle?? &*^^&&%$#$%)**@

    Be glad you had a signed contract. I also agree contact local law enforcement that you are going to repossess the cattle. Let us know how it turns out.

    What would you do ?

    If you decide to put a calf on her don't buy it at the sale barn you are asking for more problems than you need .You can bring home all kind of bugs that can make your entire calf crop sick. Cheaper to keep her without a calf than expose your herd to some one else's problems. If you have a set...

    Squeeze Chute recommendations?

    If money not an issue my first choice would be a hydralic Silencer followed by Formost, then a WW which is what I have. Someday Ihope to have a Silencer with scales under it fed with a doulbe alley. Now where did I leave that winning ticket?

    Hay hauling trailer advice?

    Check your state regs in Kansas you can not have 10000 lb axles with out it being a commercial trailer and you need a DOT number. Definately go with dual jacks, tandem axles, flip down beaver tail, have plenty of tie downs to hold load on. Jeff

    Portable Corrals

    WW is just like rawhide but is from galvanized pipe the newer one has a solar charger on it to keep battery charged. I like the wheel on the WW better than rawhide. You do need a fairly flat area to unfold. We just finished Preg checking cows last week and you can set a chute on it and go to...

    Cull cows

    If you have any cull cows to market I would be gettting it done soon. If the dairy buyout does happen expect the cull cow market to get cut in half price wise.

    NCBA

    If more producers would be willing to feed there cattle as grass fed then the US would not have to import as much meat from other countries. We do not have enough lean beef to mix with trimmimngs coming off of corn fed beef to make patties for the hamburger chains. I personally am not willing...

    interesting article about castration age

    With commercial calves we do castrate before going to grass but with bulls that decision is held until weaning. Easier to take them off later than put them back on. Jeff

    Would you buy a bull from a breeder who......

    I have both purchased bull with some semen interest owned by the breeder and I have sold bulls and kept an interest. Both have worked out fine on the interest that I have maintained I pay for the collection it is done when bulls are not being used and it is at my expense. I go get the bull or I...

    Replacements, buy em or raise em???

    My question is do you treat sick calves or just let them waste away. Do you use only antibiotics that are recommended by vet? Just curious. We also sell locker beef that is implant free, customers are willing to pay for that above the board price. We let customers know that we give...

    Fiberglass feed bunks

    Well I priced those 20 foot bunks at the fair thought they were going to have to carry me out on a stretcher. 1150 dollars per bunk holy cow. I was hoping to get two or three not now. I did find out that they coat them with an enamel paint to protect them from the sun. Jeff
