    cogangrass

    The Federal people have said these are "recommendations only" and they really don't care what is used, as long as it works so I not faulting them. The Co Agent just doesn't spend much time with small farmers so that is my "fault" regarding him. He isn't your friendly "Hank Kimble" type. Which...

    cogangrass

    Makes sense on the Arsenal in the fall. I suspect that has something to do with the growth pattern slowing down and the Roundup does much better when things are in a growth pattern. Did some reading on your suggestion for the ammonium sulfate and thanks for the suggestion. I would assume you...

    cogangrass

    Sorry, The Roundup wasn't mentioned in the last post.The first group sprayed was Roundup, Arsenal & Cogan X. The second spraying (different area) was Roundup & Cogan X. Both spraying killed (fall spray) and we have now had frost so it will be Spring to see which did the best. .. actually i am...

    cogangrass

    I think I used 1 qt Cogan X to 25 gallons of water and was applying about 25 gal to the acre with a hand wand. Overall the local people here seem to be getting better results without the Arsenal and using the Cogan X. The Aresenal was like around $200 per gallon if I remember correctly. I will...

    cogangrass

    There is a program through NRCS (Invasive species). I am going into the second year of a three year eradication program. I think you may have missed the deadline for this year but you need to apply for the upcoming year. It pays decent money to help get rid of it especially since you NEED to get...

    Fence charger

    Not a beginner but sure feel like one. I have two chargers that are just not putting out. The problem seems to be something in the ground. When the ground is not connected I get a full pulse (6000 v). As soon as the wire is connected to the ground rod..200v. I have added a second ground rod and...

    Working Pen Design

    I just got finished building a holding/working pen that will hold about just under a hundred head. So far each time I have used it I have found something I need to add or to change; so no matter what you do you will still modify it again and again. I would increase the length of the the actual...

    Cattle testing and work up today and the way it went

    My son always tells his brother "you have to be smarter than the cow" so either that cows are really smart or we are not.The fist thing might be a great idea.

    Cattle testing and work up today and the way it went

    We forgot the prayer. As they say when something goes wrong it all goes wrong. I want to try a couple of new push rods on the squeeze chute. I think there is too much play in the mechanism but I think we may have thought that it would do more than they actually would and depended on it maybe a...

    Cattle testing and work up today and the way it went

    Today was first time to actually “work” herd of 60 cows from 5 months of age to adult. Bought a used squeeze chute, built new pen with everything built secure (except for the stupid gate) Started out with the vet and 6 people to help. The plan was to ear notch, ear tag, vaccinate for...

    Creep Feed?

    I have never saw citrus pulp in feed stores. Where do you find that. I have bought beet pulp before but even the horses don't care for that.

    Fence Charger Repair

    I was at the coop getting one repaired last week. I asked the guy a few question and he told me there are only basically only three working parts. I found where the parts can be purchased online for about 1/2 what the local coop charges http://www.mulehollow.com/fencechargers.html
