Thanks for the pictures! I always enjoy them. JLP

In central Iowa most of the fall applied nitrogen is in the form of anhydrous ammonia. If it is applied between the soil temperatuires of 50 and 32 degrees F it stays in a form that does not leach readily. Above 50 degrees F and soil microbes convert it to a form that is easily leached away and...

I just figured the grass stip was a devils lane. I was impressed that it was wide enough that you didn;t just have one cow path through it but could move them as a group instead of sngle file only. Different paddocks and rotation is a good thing. Nice cattle.

The more detailed information you provide the more accurate your claim can be paid. But if you have a daily record as simple as how many five gallon buckets of grain you fed to as elaborate as print outs from your grinder or your feeder wagon that is what your adjuster is needing. If you can't...

If the 5 yr olds and the two year olds are in the same lot how are you going to be sure the 2 yr olds don't get bred also other than they are so close up after calving. Some of them will cycle within a month after giving birth and they could "catch" the first cycle, so just be aware.

Looking Good.

Cheapest would be in exsisting building but if I remember correctly you do not have one. One way would be 4 - 50 foot rolls of picket or plastic snow fence. Fasten two rolls end to end for 100 foot make a circle and put steel posts every 6-8 fence around the circumference. Then pile the corn...

Most co-ops cannot do a test for mycotoxins other than blacklight and that is not totally reliable. If you really think it is necessary to test take it to a USDA approved Lab the test will probably cost around $45 and you will need about 2.5#s shelled corn. I think that this is too good to be...

Merry Christmas!

Try googling New York Water Testing Labs and you will find numerous labs capable to perform your testing and they can give recommendations and prices. Here in Iowa, the University of Iowa has an ongoing study that for a fee you can send them a sample and then they mail you the results. Well...

Sure hope for both of your sakes he makes an honest deal of all this. As for youth sometimes it is a good excuse as inexperience and immaturity with financial problems can lead desperate people to do desperate things that they would normally know they shouldn't, but do not know how to extricate...

Makeing time to spend with kids is never goofing off! Great pics thanks for shareing with us.

Vanilla is one of my favorite flavors.

2000# divided by 56#=35.7 bushels x $7.00 =$249.90/ton at $8/bushel=$285.69 /ton Feeding corn is expensive also.

My oh My! I sure should have proof read my earlier post. The Typos are terrible. Sorry everyone.

Growing corn this year probably wouldn't help much for these calves because at the earliest late August would be when you could harvest and that would only give you 30-45 days of corn foe these calves if you are going to butcher in October. Also if the calves weigh 600 in March you are brobaly...

Sorry for your loss. Murphy's at it again.

Yes, I am from Central Iowa. Hardin County.

I guess I would cull her. I am not sure that cancer eye is an inherited trait but the susceptability to it in the environment she was reared in may be, so I would watch her daughter and any sibling sisters in the herd. What ever your decision was there is no one on this board that can second...
