The Lorentz have 2 panels each. Two of my Grundfos have 4 panels. One has 1 panel and one has 2 panels. The Lorentz panels appear to be better panels for collecting low light. The Lorentz panels looks very different from the Grundfos panels.

For what it's worth....I have 4 Grundfos and 2 Lorentz solar systems. The Lorentz's are far superior to the Grundfos as far as pumping in low light-cloudy-weather. The Grundfos seems to require nearly total cloud free sun. I will install more Lorentz systems but no more Grundfos. As far as...

An ex-large dog coat from TSC or some farm store works well also. I made a pattern off one and made a few. Since moving to a later calving period-don't need to worry quite so much about frozen ears, tail, calves, but it's good to be prepared.

This was a booster. We are wondering if it's coming in with migratory birds. Lots of blackbirds and starlings. I'm having one heck of a time keeping them away from my distillers grain. Anyway- that picture of Lazy M's is real easy on the eyes. It's peaceful.

That's a nice picture Lazy M. I hope they keep on gaining for you. I weaned the middle of October. Gave vaccinations Wednesday and they're sick as dogs today. Some running a high fever with a stiff walk. I've talked to my vet twice today. He thinks it's Haemophilus Somnus. Said there have been...

"This heifer is my favorite and I have no intention of shipping her to the sale as I'm sure some of you would recommend - not at this point anyways. Any thoughts?" Why ask any questions? You don't want to ship her. No matter what. She's yard art. Don't worry about it. You and the others in her...

I guess if I was wanting to do what you're talking about, I'd head towards a sale barn. They're always looking for help. Once there, you'll eventually meet the local patrons & buyers. Nothing will get you acquainted with cattle faster than a sale barn. :roll: I'll warn you to be as cautious of...

Some years ago I bought several Angus bulls at a registered production sale. For grins & giggles I DNA'd them. One wouldn't match back to the cow. He matched the sire but not his mother. Whoa. The deal got a lot of attention I wasn't prepared for. Angus Assoc ended up pulling his registration...

I only can speak to Angus: The only way to know without a doubt if you own the bull that's listed on the registration paper is to do a DNA test.

Kell-inKY, have you thought about having an order buyer get your calves for you? I've spend countless hours at salebarns and on the computer. My time is worth just as much as the next guys. I've found it's way easier to use a buyer I trust. I know what weights/color/sex I want. I tell him to buy...

I have 4 Grundfos systems. Deepest well is 320' with 90' of water in the hole. That deal cost $30,000 start to finish. And it was a long, drawn out ordeal. But it gave water to 1/2 section of grass that the cows would not use. I've been very happy with my Grundfos solars but they aren't worth a...

I freeze brand. Started with the replacement heifers and before long everything has a brand. I put my registered brand on the left shoulder and the year she was born on the left hip. Dry ice is not always possible to get and expensive so I use liquid nitrogen. Years ago I hot ironed but on the...

Is there any benefit to using "Stay Bred" vaccine at preg checking time? I've never used it but see a number of guys in my area using it. I don't like using any MLV on a pregnant cow. I vaccine with one in the Spring before going to grass, about a month or so before bull turn out.

Get rid of her. She'll teach the others to do what she's doing. There's nothing I hate more than a cow sucking another cow.
