    price of feed

    The guys in my area are not going crazy over changing land to corn. They think great today but they are worried if they change over everything what happens if no one is there to pay that big price to make up for the price changing over in 2 years.

    Thanks for sharing your experiences. He is acting fine eating in the pasture and has that "got milk" smile so I am hoping since he seems like he is doing well. Kind of funny but I pulled a string today I found it was under ground except one big ball that was obviously chewed but it had the...

    The farmer that lets me use his land etc is not what I would call clean , the vet said something like PPM. Anyway he uses round bales with the orange waxy type twine. Seems he can't bend over to pick up the twine after cutting a bale open. I have picked it up everywhere from the pastures and...
