Guess my question always is, when you cross this breed with that breed and that one with this one..... Ever fed cattle??? Who are you producing this cross for???? Looks like , "I have a breeding program out of control, I'm gonna sell for freezer beef the ones the buyers can tell, and let them...

Thanks, greybeard, that's what I thought. Don't know the ends and outs, just read an article in the KC Star or something like that a couple years ago explaining how it's an antiquated law that needs changing.

I wouldn't argue with you, but here that isn't quite correct. It's an old law that has tried to be changed and has been challenged, but too much trouble and never happens, no matter what is on the plate book.

In Missouri, there is a thing called adverse possession. Agree on a spot for the fence with the neighbor, grant him access to a spot , don't think there's a time constraint on how long it's that way, but it becomes the property line. That stops the ,"your fence is 1 foot too far over on my...

Guys, drill a bunch of 1/4 " holes in the first pipe you push in. When you get to the water the mud will look like rat turds coming out of the pipe. That's when you know to stop pushing. I used to worry that all the pipes I saw in ponds had a vertical pipe on them. Then I wondered why. No one...

Got to thinkin'. If you crimp the end, it would have to be perfectly in the center, or the pipe would have a tendency to go up or down as you push. We've pushed 180' on time in a pond full of water, and came out 2' lower than we wanted. It will push level if the starting point is level. gs

Putting a pipe in an existing pond is easy. Need a backhoe, not a 6600, at least in Missouri. Dig about 1/3 of the way in the pond dam down to the level you want your pipe to come out in the pond. Put a 2x12 board level on the trench, lay pipe down on board and push. Put a cap on the end. Pipe...

Research Bud Box for your design. gs

I got free fertilizer for several years from Prime Tanning. Some idiot woman named Erin Brokwitch came and screwed it all up and they decided it was a hazard. Class action suit gave me something like 75k, forget the exact amount. Would rather have the free fertilizer still. Not really nothing...

I've never used cedar for a post, but if I had access to hedge I wouldn't change. I have 12" hedge corner posts that my dad put in around 1960, on my list to replace the barb wire for the third time. Still gonna' use the same hedge corners and braces. gs

Good reply, Jed. Bryant, why raise cattle that you have to research the sale beforehand to know if they will want them? Why not raise calves that will sell anywhere? gs

This is what I am trying to figure out. Bigfoot, believe me when I say I am not calling you out. Is it the intention of many calf/cow men to fool the buyers, that you depend on to buy your calves, into thinking that you have cattle that they would want to pay for to feed? Do they do this...

After 4 days cattle will start to eat the regrowth. Therefore, should be left on any paddock no longer than 4 days. Why temporary fences are used. gs

tdc, I'm back. Yes, quite a change. My plumbing business I have requires a lot of landscaping work. Not, I guess, a novice at the business. My son owns a commercial landscaping business there, they will be combined. Managers are already in place to run the business, I will mostly be in sales...

Don't want to hijack your thread, but I am in the same boat. I am planning to retire next fall. My wife and I plan on doing something stupid. Gonna' borrow a million dollars from SBA and buy into a landscaping business in Sarasota Fl. Have around 100 cows, 35 yearling heifers, 4 bulls, all...

J&D No not that I am aware of. The ones at Gower are built so an overflow tube isn't necessary most times. I have a purebred breeder that has 9 or 10 of them, on rural water. They never let them go out the overflow. If the temps are below -5 a couple of days, you got to kick the ice in the hole...

If your close enough E and M Precast at Gower makes the best ones I have installed, I have probably installed 300 of various kinds. Phone # 816-424-3218 Ask for Andrew gs

Elec company replaced some poles on my place. I took 2 and buried about 2' deep on both ends, just wide enough to drive the wheels on. Took some 2x12's and put on them, made about 4 short ones to go between them to hold them together. Been driving over it every day for 4 years...

Did it for several years. My experiences: Made money above what I would have gotten for the calves as feeders. However, my money was tied up a longer, so maybe a wash. Learned a lot. Best cows need culling, while the middle of the road need to be what you send. Bigger isn';t always better, watch...
