Just bring them home in the winter and breed them to calve in October. That is what I do with the small places I rent.

If the terrain allowes it at all get you a road built around the perimeter and build your fence on the edge of the road. This will make it easier on the builder to put in, but more importantly it will be easier on you to maintain it.

Have you looked at a Sides spreader? If you can get a sprayer over your land, you can spread with a Sides. This won't solve getting it in though. Does no one around there have a quad axle dump? They can haul just as much as a dump trailer and get into some pretty tight spots with a GOOD driver.

Good luck. I tested 5 gallons on a strip 35 ft wide and about 300 ft long that was covered in sage grass. I could have peed on it and done as much good. There was no difference in sage grass where I had sprayed. If a tote is $3200 I would seriously consider a Sides spreader for wet ag lime...

Net is not bad if you have a place to put it on the tractor. These cans hold net off of four rolls. Four is a full 5 gallon bucket. Bucket gets dumped in the trash.

Since I have got a set of scales and started weighing bales I have found out that very few 4x5s weigh 1000 lb. I have seen them weigh as little as 550 lbs.

Kuhn speed rake would get my vote. Being able to only rake with one side if needed would really be nice at times.

I am shooting to put mine out on Friday and Saturday. I am about 20 miles south and 1,000 ft up from you.

Why would you haul water if they are by a creek?

Don't waste your time or money. Dad tried a jug on his pasture. Absolutely no results on where he sprayed.

When I looked up the pictures it looks like Chinese privet. It is new to this area, but what I have just read about it it looks like it is going to be a bigger pain in the rear than MF roses. It looks like a 5% mixture of glyphosphate is the best way to kill it? Anyone got a better mixture?

And what can I spray to kill it? I do know that spot spraying Grazon next at 3 pints to 25 gallons will not even bother it.

Anyone ever try aluminum sulfate? That is what our local co-op recommends for stockpiling fescue. It is $340 a ton for 24-0-0

I get them at Washington. County farmers co-op. They are the Bull Flex tarps made by inland. These can be ordered online for the same price. To fasten them down I put two pieces of Mule Tape (this is the string that utilities put in conduit to pull lines in later with) under each row of...

Neither. A $315 25x50 hay tarp will hold 54 5x4 bales and will last at least 5 years. They will more than pay for them selves in the first two years that you use them. I quit storing any hay outside in 2012. It is too dang expensive to let it sit out.

Dad bought a 375 new in 1993. We have put 500 bales a year through it every year since then. A couple of belts and a set of tires is all that has ever been spent on it, but it has also never been rained on. Not bad for a 26 year old baler.

Could you provide more info about this blower truck? Sounds intresting.

$3 bale picked up in the field here. If I had the time I could sell my hay in small squares to horse people and buy all my hay for cattle and come out pretty good.

I bought a place several years ago that had been neglected for decades. The place stayed covered with white pine sprouts that the previous renter would bush hog off every third year. That was all that was ever done to the place. After I bought it I limed it, started spraying it with grazon...

It is kind of sad to ride the back roads and see what is now timber what was clean pasture when I was a kid. The days of keeping steep pasture clean with a size are long gone. Most pasture that is too steep for a 4wd tractor has grown up (my own place included). But it is amazing how quick a...
