    Weight to age chart

    I figure 2 lb per day of age (60 # mo )+ 75 # birth weight. 4 mo would be approx 240 + 75 = 315 5 mo = 300 + 75 = 375 This formula will usually be in the ballpark or possibly on the light side as many calves will gain a little over 2#/day.

    Bad Checks

    Years ago had a tenant who frequently gave me hot checks so put him on cash only basis. When he gave notice he was moving out, he sent me a check for last months rent which suspected would bounce. Instead of depositing the check, I sent it for collection and gave them up to 30 days to hold it...

    Has CT benefitted you?

    Makes me itch also. Doc told me to take Zyrtec to help with itch and it does. Works best if take zyrtec maybe 30 min before the hydro but can do both at same time.

    Another bad result of Tx drought

    Know an L&H buyer and they have not been aggressive in their buying in over a month. Understand they have only been killing 3 days a week for some time now. Know it won't help packer market but have doubts that it will hurt much either. Cow kill is at several decades lows and wholesale ground...

    Loaned a trailer out

    Turn it in to their liability insurance and see if it will pay for fixing your fence. Not sure it will pay for trailer but should pay for fixing fence. Be sure to charge as much as commercial fence company will charge. Get policy info from your mom and call it in yourself. Just leave him in the...

    What business are you really in?

    Recently a person I had just met asked me what business I was in. I replied that I was in the cattle business, a rancher. Wasn't completely accurate but that is what folks expect to hear and can at least somewhat relate to. A few years ago it finally dawned on me that I'm really in the business...

    Car wreck..totalled question ...insurance?

    Sounds like they did right by you. As far as fault, get a copy of the police report and look for the "Factors contributing to" section. See if there are any factors marked for your son and what are marked for others. Especially if no tickets given this may have a bearing on how your insurance...

    Car wreck..totalled question ...insurance?

    Most likely they subscribe to a service that tracks comparable actual car sales and will ask them for a report. Will try to use sales for your geographic area as much as possible. Can make some adjustments for differences in mileage/equipment/condition. If yours is extra clean, it may be hard to...

    X's I just shake my head.

    Probably need to also report it to sheriff as it may be sheriff jurisdiction. Also would get your lawyer involved as you should have a civil case for the loss of the calf and he can apply pressure on the law side. Don't know if it can affect custody/child support etc. Wouldn't pull any punches...
