    Dust in my Dodge!

    We are 3 1/2 miles of gravel before we get to pavement. Ive given up on washing the exterior, but please, please tell me how to keep the dust out of the cab. Windows up, air on , fan blasting, and 25 MPH. There is a new layer of dust on the dash when I shut 'er down. (I think I can plant...

    Straw spreading hacks?

    Had a feedlot customer once told me he was shaking the RB straw off the spike, steers were doing the fresh straw boogie and one jumped just high enough, with perfect forward speed and angle and impaled himself on the spike.

    Straw spreading hacks?

    Thanks for all the replies! One idea I have seen before was putting a big round through the manure spreader. Looked like it worked fine. But my cows like to help. I dont even want to think about a running spreader and curious cows................

    Straw spreading hacks?

    Ok, between tripping over hidden frozen manure clods, and cows "helping" me bed with round bales, any body want to share your ideas on how to get the cows bedded? FYI, I'm too cheap to buy a bale processor and too proud to use a fork.

    aggressive mommas

    Ya, Thats what I thought when a roan recipient cow I had bought was pretty loud and aggressive with her newborn. She did calm down once she had killed the calf though. Gut wrenching to come back out to that. She immediatly began her new career in the food industry......

    Cows in 2 horse trailer?

    Many many years back I was that "some guy" that quietly hauled 3 stockers 2 1/2 hours in a U-Haul. Not sure how, but they did figure out what I had in their trailer. I think I'm still on some sort of list with them.

    Showing steers

    This will be as brief as possible but here is the basic procedure that works here. Start them as young as possible. A scotch comb is my best friend.

    testing hay

    Ok, so I'l do my best to explain. Sit me down and put in front of me a salad made with spinach, romaine lettuce, avocado, shredded carrots, sunflower seeds, with an organic sesame seed and humanely raise virgin olive oil dressing. Next to that put a bag of chips. I'll probably go with the chips...

    Thunder Bay

    Central Canada Feeding Station. Is this a place you would unload a few show cattle for feed and rest en route to Toronto from Alberta? What other B & B (barn & breakfast) options are there out there? Probably travelling in November if we're going to do it.
