My butcher charges .58/lb and a 50.00 kill fee plus they keep the hide.

If I was selling those calves that would be a good price to get, Pa calves (at least in my area) dont get much over 1.00 per pound on good calves on a good day.

I use rubber cow stall mats.

How much fence do you have? I have about 5 mile of fence and I have 10,000 volts.

I sell my freezer beef for $1.00 per pound live weight and the customer pays the butcher and for the hauling.

I own all of the hay equipment and the corn equipment and its all paid for so I can try to make a profit with cattle. I hope that with proper maintance the equip. lasts a long time. I do not have to pay someone to make hay or plant corn and then harvest it. Paying someone to do all of the crops...

More than likly the heifer is no good but the bull will be good for breeding.

I have calves year around mainly because I have no place to keep my bull seperate from the cows. Use a pour-on wormer twice a year and I do not vacc my feeders because I dont keep them and would not get my money back when I sell them. I do vacc the feeders that I keep for replacements.

I was going to use a generic Ivomec in the spring and my normal cydectin in the fall.

I have a generic pour-on that has the same active ingredient and the same amount of ingredient as the brand name, so why would it not work as well?

can I figure out acreage with this site.

I always like your pictures, how many cows do you have?

I was using the ring style before the j&l feeder and had alot more waste with the rings, for me I feel that the cost of the feeder was worth it. Plus they will last alot longer,I was getting only 3 years out of the rings.

What happens is when the cows are eating the hay the bottom of the feeder(or in my case the tire) will catch what the cows drop and the calves can eat out of the tire.

I have a j&l hay saver but mine is mounted on a big rubber tire and cost $1100.00, But I can feed hay all winter and only have about 4 inches of waste in the end. The tire will never rot like the steel.

Thats alot of snow, I dont know if I could deal with it. :D

That looks cold!!!! We are at 21 degrees with 30 mph wind and I thought that was cold.

i have a 5 wire fence with 4 hot wires, I put my posts 25 feet apart and all of the hot wires need insulators when attached to posts.

execpt you get covered in oil every time you tap the coupler

You are going to lose power just wrapping the wires, you need to use crimps to connect wires.
