Thanks for the replys, i think i'm on the right track here. This year has been crazy for the amount of rain and looks like in the spring i have plenty of holes in the barns to repair. :roll: One of the hay barns i checked yesterday has serious drainage problems from the field with the flooding...

I'm looking for ideas to see what others use for floors in hay barns. Most all our hay barns have just dirt floors and in the past we have used pallets/tires to set the bales on.This year we just left the bottom bales on the ground and noticed some dirt and spoilage from this years bales. I dont...

Im new to all this so I havent quite had the experience yet. :kid: But also last year i did the the same thing and broadcasted it and i wasnt really happy with the coverage and the amount of seed i seem to waste. So that is the primary reason i chose to use a drill this year. I also plan to...

Ok, I got some questions about drilling in seed in wet soil. We been trying to get our rye/oat/wheat in the ground for two weeks now and the rain isn’t giving us a break. I plan on no till drilling the seed in already disked and prepared field, but what conditions is ideal for seeding it in the...

Thanks Dun, thats what i was thinking. So buying these bags i guess can be worth the price.. :D

I was looking at some seed store's pricing and notice some have broken bag prices for significantly lower price's. I was wondering what exactly do they mean by broken bags? I was thinking damaged bags or something like that, but not really sure :?: :?

Well if its for that kind of price i guess they can just settle for the shade trees. 8) Thanks for the replys, SFF

I have been reading about mixing seaweed or kelp pellets with the cow's minerals in the summer to help lower their body temp. It also is suppose to pretty much elminate e-coli? So do any of yall use seaweed? Have you had any negatives of using it? Ive been looking for some company that sells...

Thanks Knersie and SR, I think I understand its all about what you want to achieve from your calves. I agree with you SR on that 205 day is a very good option since it is used in so many epd evaluations

I know this has probably been covered before but the search bar on here seems not to really want to cooperate today. So when is the best day range to wean? I have been getting mixed answers from some buddies who say earliest weaning between 150-200 days old is better but no one gives me a real...

Alot of this stuff i heard before but alot i havent. The part about using the other hide of a dead calf, is a new one for me. I also like the one about cows like their colors of lots and stuff as "earth colors".

To be honest i need all the hay i can get. But im kinda stuck on this one, this rough field has mostly all dead fescue stems but it has knee high green grass. It's thick in some spots but some thin i say probally 18-25 bales. I would like to bale it all but, if it pays more to just bush hog it...

I got a buddy that wants me to bush hog about 40 acres of dead fescue and grass for him. Well i havent bush hogged for anyone and i was wondering how i should charge him? He said he'll pay me for it, but what is a good way to charge him by the acre? Or by the hour? -Also what is a general price...
