Same here...i bought my first one a couple years ago. Gonna be my last one. Love the cummins but hate the cheap junky truck they wrapped around it.

That's the conclusion I've reached Brute. The hard part of that is I wont pay as much as the deer hunters and the guys with the government horses.

That's exactly what's going on here. Plus we got a bunch that sold a house and a half acre in California to move here and buy the same house on 40 acres and still have money left over. Any place big enough to work full time is gonna have to be inherited. If a young person tried to buy in...

Replacing the old timers with new blood seems impossible to me. Saw a for sale sign on a 40 acre bean field 2 miles up the road. Called the number and was informed the asking price is $499,000. How could a young person pay it off?

My story is similar. My grandpa gave me my first supposed to be bred heifer. When I finally got her bred and calved out she wouldn't breed back on time. My next one was born blind. Next year had a first calf heifer that wouldnt milk and another one born windswept and had one die from pneumonia...

Thanks TB. I really appreciate you taking the time to answer my questions.

What form should the corn come in? Rolled? Cracked? Chops? What other byproducts would make it more balanced? More specifically if I was wanting to fill a creep feeder and feed it free choice to add pounds to calves that are still on mom's milk and pasture before going to the sale. I just filled...

The offending bull is gonna get hauled to his other home in mid March. I figure I'll just calve my little bunch out between October and December then figure out which direction to go in. I just have to put up with it until then since I kinda need him to do his job right now.

Lots of good advice here. I haven't really thought that hard about it. Not sure if it's because I'm still green when it comes to the business side of this deal or cause I'm not that intelligent. Probably some of both. Thanks for taking the time to give advice and ideas Jan. It's appreciated.

My little 40 acre place will only hold 5 pairs and a bull so I'm kicking around the idea of running a bull 45 or 60 days out of the year and running a 6th or,if it will ever rain here again, 7th pair. I figure leasing one from a neighbor is the best idea. I got one on the other side of the...

I hear you Butch. I'd pretty much figured on selling him before this happened just because I'm tired of feeding him. Been meaning to get with the partner and figure out if he's gonna buy my half or we're gonna peddle him and split the check. I'm gonna have to replace him or start leasing one...

I only own half of him. When I'm sure he's done his job I'm gonna send him back to his other owner. My problem is if she's letting him steal who else is getting milk that ain't supposed to?

I've been weaning this girls calf for 60 days and couldn't figure out why she wouldn't dry up. I just assumed she was letting the new calves steal off her. Today I caught my bull red handed. Anybody ever deal with this? My first thought was get rid of her but I hate to sell a good bred cow. I'd...

I heard about that. Weird how there's a convicted felon on that show and it ain't snoop.

Try to find a design that you can work by yourself. Mine wasn't built for a one man show and it sucks trying to run around doing it by yourself.

The one across the road is a top dog at a health insurance hmo. I don't know what the rest of them do. Somebody's gotta be making money somewhere or swimming in debt.

You nailed it Cross. I'm 20 miles east of Tulsa. Used to be nothing but bean fields, hay, and pasture around here. Now it's all mansions and 10 acre "farms" at $7500 an acre.

That is a solid point that I'm just now getting. That whole deal about being a grass farmer that uses cows to harvest is the most productive thing I've learned here.

In my area mineral oil is like $15 a gallon. Diesel is under $2 a gallon right now. If your rub is brand new it's gonna hold closer to 4 gallons. Soak it slow until it drips. I leave mine out until the first good killing frost. Also i hang it in front of the mineral feeder so they have to go...

That's how I do it. Mix 2.5 gallons of diesel with 6 ounces of prolate lintox. Put it on until it drips.
