These are old one and done range cows. I avoid the real snotty ones when buying but you still end up with one or two. The whole entire herd of cows will go straight to the kill plant in the middle of August. These are the late calvers. Once they get to summer range they will hardly see a...

A couple of my cows ended up on the neighbor's place. I won't go into that long story how they ended up there. But these two witches are a bit spooky. They were there for about 10 days until the cowboys had time to go get them. A black cow and a red brokle faced cow. The red cow had a calf...

Three important things to make money with cattle. How much you spend purchasing them. Maximizing the money when you sell them. And how frugal you are in running your place. Any and all of this will vary depending on where you live. Used pipe and iron is real expensive here. Because there...

I was telling a friend about this calf today. He said he had a neighbor who had calves affected by Lupine that came out this way. His neighbor said none of these calves survived. I know that Lupine eaten at a certain stage of pregnancy will cause major birth defects. The majority of these...

Nope, nope, and nope. Two different sales about 130 miles apart. Two weeks between sale purchased at. Brands on cows say they came from 2 ranches over 200 miles from each other. Could they some how be related? Who knows or cares. They are just old cows.

I had a calf born yesterday afternoon. It was only 20 feet or so from the river. This morning I couldn't find it when I fed. I went back on the quad and patrolled the river bank. The river is up with this warm weather melting the snow. My thought was if the calf went into the river it is a...

There was one here in 2017. The whole region went crazy over if. The best views were in eastern Oregon so people flocked here. The old people I bought this place from were able to hold on here for one more year because of the money they made renting out the front hay field as a camp ground...

There have been two big fires in recent years. One by Lake Chelan and the other by Brewster where the fire jumped the Columbia River. If a mile wide river isn't big enough nothing man made is going to work.

I can see how someone might get taken if they don't keep up on land prices. I sold my place over on the coast in the fall of 2017. I was talking to my son who lives not far from there. The value he put on that place is double what I got. In my power line dealings with Idaho Power they paid...

None of the lines here are right. One of the neighbors has a house which BLM claims is on federal property. The house was built well before the BLM even existed.

My land is in 3 parcels. The offers are always for the little 40 acre parcel. I feel like replying that the parcel is land locked with no access, no water, and no power. Getting any of those 3 would cost a lot more than the land. If they want to buy the entire place come with a large 7...

We don't rent pigs.

Pasture doesn't sit empty here for too long. Someone getting bigger or someone starting out will snap it up. Pretty much everyone is running on more leased land than deeded land.

Winter storm warnings on the coast. They are predicting 24+ inches of snow in the mountains. I don't see how much they think will get here but it is headed this way. New calf #3 this morning. The girls better hold on to #4 until after this storm passes.

We have a 32 inch screen. The wife wants a bigger one. She has pretty poor eye sight and can't read anything written when It come across the 32 inch. I told her she needs to sit closer.

Beavers are about the easiest fur bearing critter there is to catch. I trapped a lot of them back in the 80's when was running a long line trap line. The best day I ever had was 12 in one day. Now days the fur is one step above useless. And trapping is easy but putting up the fur is a lot of...

My is from State Farm. Home owners and ranch, the whole 9 yards. Going off memory but right about $1,860 a year. If they didn't write farm or ranch insurance here they wouldn't write much of anything.

Fire a warning shot into the ground near your feet. It will make him grab another gear. Maybe he will run into a tree or fence or some solid object. If nothing else it would make him think twice before coming back.

I wont complain about my property taxes after reading this. I have 1,200+ acres, house, barn, over sized garage, and shop. My taxes are about $3,300 a year.

There are certainly no standards when sell a handful at the local sale barn. And from what I have learned here on CT that is especially true in your part of the world where selling everything as singles is the general rule. Go on to Superior's website and look at "How it is done". You will...
