    POLL: Why Do You Have Cattle

    Because I enjoy running tractors and equipment and don't have the guts to try row crop farming As far as the poll - #5 should read "I supplement Cattle with my day job"

    Paul Harvey

    Paul does the news, Paul Jr. does the "Rest of the Story" in the afternoons. I think Jr. has been writing the Rest of the Story Stories several years.

    show of hands

    According to the research I should be aggressive but when I was a senior, I had a high school woodshop accident that left my ring finger a 1/2" shorter. I guess this finger length adjustment gave me the mild mannered personality I now exhibit. :D

    Pope John Paul

    By the time we all watch all the services that will take place in the coming days, we'll probably thing that President Reagan's Funeral was quite modest.

    jeans

    I voted wrangler, but have ya'll noticed the quality of them going down in recent years. Lots of mine have whitish streak that they get down the leg, half of them have a twist in the right leg that makes them nearly impossible to iron, and they seem to fade faster. I know they've shut down...

    Touchy question about how they sloter cows today?

    Judging from the poll results, the members of this board have finally found something we can all agree on. However, I almost marked undiced because I find my meat is more tender and flavorful when cooked whole and sliced after cooking rathing than being cut up prior to cooking. But the...

    Might want to check this out, it's not a scam

    It will do the same thing if you put your name and state. I guess I don't see the concern. It's the same information anybody can get out of the phone book. I'm assuming if someone want's to knock you off or steal your stuff, they know where the stuff is or where you live in the first place...

    Squeeze chutes.....

    If you're doing it yourself, I'd just build a cage rather than a squeeze. Make it about 7' long and make it where you can open the bottom half of the side in case you need to make a calf suck or milk the cow and make the top half two gates that fold down for branding and injections. You could...

    Potty Trained Elephants

    I think I may need to send my two year old son to Thailand for some training. On a less serious note: Once there was a Vet that worked for the Zoo. A friend of his asked him "what's the biggest problem you have to deal with at the zoo?" The vet responded, "That would have to be when the...

    Barns and handling facilities...... Picture Time!!!

    Are you talking about the Kioti? How is it working for you? What HP is it. I looked at them down at the Houston Show and the OKC farm show last year and they looked like a nice tractor especially for guys wanting a cab in a lower horse tractor. I like my 2555 deere (purchased used) but it's...

    Barns and handling facilities...... Picture Time!!!

    Camp, judging from that pipe that goes over the gate, I think we could recognize you as either a short man or the guy with lots of lumps on his forehead. I'd hate to ride a horse though that gate. Just Kidding - looks like nice set up. You must have bought your pipe two or three years ago -...

    I judged livestock in college and have been to the following major shows: Houston, Fort Worth, Denver, Kansas City, and Louisville. If you're going strickly on business and to view the best your favorite breed has to offer (as long as your breed doesn't have long pendulous ears) Denver is the...

    With the cost of steel what it is today, this may be the best design. :D

    Your Fence

    Dang - I'm embarrased to say. Front along county road is 5 wire barb wire with steel pipe strech post built 3 years ago. Entrance is 3 rail PVC ranch rail angleing up to cattleguard. Peremeter between other neighbors is 5 wire rusty barb wire ranging in age from 1 year (1/4 mile) to 35 or 40...

    green or fleshy

    If your talking market/grade cattle, buyers will dock you hard for fleshy cattle. They're buying them for someone who is wanting them to gain weight so they don't want fat calves - they want green calves.
