    What’s everyone else using

    I like vortex. I feel like it's pretty good for the money. The glass is just good enough on the mid level stuff to be pretty enjoyable to look through for someone that's owned a lot of cheap optics. I try to avoid looking through any high dollar stuff, not knowing what the best is makes me...

    Dimmitt Tx Dairy Farm Explosion

    I bet he re builds somewhere. He's not the type to back up if he can keep growing.

    Dimmitt Tx Dairy Farm Explosion

    Google told me there are 9.4 million dairy cows in the US. So 18,000 cows is .19% of the heard. I wouldn't think that's enough to mess with the price too much unless they use the story as a reason to raise the price. But from a fundamental economics perspective I don't see how that small amount...

    Dimmitt Tx Dairy Farm Explosion

    I believe when the guy built that dairy a couple years ago they said 65 acres under roof. I understood the main barn that burned was about 50 acres. That's alot under one roof. It will be interesting if we ever hear the final report. But I'd bet most of us forget about it before that comes out.

    Would you use a classified section?

    I still think it would be good. For say a large amount of hay after 30 days the post would be deleted and they would have to make a new one. It would make them update the information and whatnot.

    Would you use a classified section?

    I think it could be a useful part of the site. But it could also become scamy like lots of other classified sites are. I would say it needs to be restricted to active members. Maybe a certain level of activity or length of account for those that don't post, just read. Probably need to be pretty...

    ChatGPT

    I saw a little something about it saying it was ok at providing facts and really good at BS'ing it's way through a response. So I'm sure it will be wildly popular if that's true.

    Wood chipper

    Gotta watch those people. They were trimming on our road and I ask to have them dump a few loads. I wasn't there when they dumped and when I got back there was a bunch of logs in the pile that they didn't chip. Got a bunch of fire wood out of it but It was sure a pain to have those piles.

    Wood chipper

    Some of those regenerative guys that right books talk a lot about using wood chips for bedding. Looks like pretty good compost by the end of the year. Looks like a lot of work too. But I'm not in a part of the world were there is ever really a need to supply bedding of any kind.

    Jackson Lake Wyoming

    I always assume things were started in the creek and river bottoms because back when the town was started they needed to be close to water. Our down town in my little town starts right at the edge of the creek bottom. I don't like the government telling us what todo but if they or someone would...

    Jackson Lake Wyoming

    I've always wondered if it was better to have a city in the deserts where there is no water or food and try to supply those things or is it better to take up the best farm land in wet areas for the cities. Every time I go to Dallas/Fort Worth area I wonder how many acres of good farm land is...

    Just for fun, finishing experience level

    Both Black Angus by % technically. Grandpa had limousine 30 years ago but it's been black angus bulls sense then and all retained heifers.

    Just for fun, finishing experience level

    Both cows were hung 21 days so I don't think that's it. I'm really not sure what caused it. They weren't on feed long but there were fat coming off of pasture from not having a calf. The fatter one was fed for about 45 days and the other was feed for 75. I guess next year the cull cows will get...

    Just for fun, finishing experience level

    That's interesting you found the fat cows to be better meat. We sent 2 cows last month and all the steaks are extremely tough. Probably going to cook them all in a slow cooker. They were plenty fat and taste good just too tough. We had sent a calf or two in the past and have never had one real...

    Cattle mutilations - Opinions, thoughts?

    I think people tend to see/believe what they want to see/believe. Kinda like how most of your bigfoot sightings are by people that just so happen to be trying really hard to find a bigfoot. So I tend to be a little skeptical, although there is some weird things in this world so who knows.

    LFP program?

    I agree with you 100%. I don't like it at all and I used to never sign up for any of the programs. But after a strong worded conversation with an older man I sign up for everything now. If the government is going to give out money and cause inflation or give back taxes. Which ever it is, I might...

    LFP program?

    Yes They still only pay based on the number of cows you "should" be able to run. The FSA is a terrible organization. I don't like the well fair but if they are going to give it out I'd sure like to see it be done a little more efficiently and/or common sense. Anything government seems to suck...

    Stock Investments

    From my limited understanding(I've read a lot and invested little due to young age) small, mid, and large cap funds all have had their time to shine in the last 100 years along with growth vs value. I listened to a 2 hour lecture about the differences one time and decided for now a total market...

    Bull Nettle

    I agree. A full rate of some board leaf weed killer while it's flowering. Or you can spot spray it anytime with a extra strong dose of weed killer. Strong enough it looks like you sprayed roundup...
