I suggest you go to the packers and see what breeds they accept and what they pay the most for. Decide on your market and give them what they want if you can.

The amount of dirt left over.

The last that I splinted was with a couple of those big 5gallon bucket paint stirrers and some duck tape. Remove in 3 to 4 weeks. But I am sure there are better ways. The first one I went to put it down and said what the heck I will try to catch the pitiful thing first. Ten minutes later and...

August and the reason is the school lunch program IMHO Just a guess.

If you could wait 4-5 years it sure would make it easier to deal with the stumps especially the soft wood ones. Then hire the job out. But your buddy may know the situation better than we do and maybe steering you in the right direction. Unless he is the one renting the backhoe :D

I wish every bull man raised them that way.

I will usually always put an available tree as my corner. I have only had a few problems so far. One being the 15ga ht wire will get eaten up by hickorys in about 6 years give or take. The second problem is that one tree that is also a line tree and has been nailed into for over a hundred...

Been very satisfied with a pair of muck boots this winter for $70. I have been breaking in pair of red wing pecos all winter to have them ready for spring They run around $130 I usually about 10 years out of the red wings if you count the last two years that they are air conditioned. I think...

Kentucky has a bad run of blue tounge going on right now in the deer herd. Some say it can effect the cattle herd and some not.

Oh, now that's just great, got to stock up on hay and spirits.

Nothing as refreshing as spending a brisk winter morning making a mad dash for a hay ring. :oops:

I was wondering how much they got for the one they stole from me.

A drought is what brought one side of my family to the mtns. back in 1841. They drove them here from Paris. The cows most of the time prefer tree tops to grass let alone hay and will do well on them. As far as the acorns I have heard that it was the caps that caused most of the problems...

I guess it depends on the size of the bale. But for me I put out one ring for every 10 so everyone has enough space.I have a few younger cows. But I have gone as many as 15 per ring. Good question I guess I never really thought about it

Hoss, a few ways to go about it and I'm not sure which is the best. When we bought another place we went about it in a conservative way. We had 20 cows we were happy with. Also the fence on the new place was fixable around the perimeter but that is about it with a couple of run down barns...

If not thistle, then it could be ironweed.

I tried that neaking up on them once. I got the shakes and couldn't do it. Dad said I had hay fever and I would grow out of it with more experience. :( Thank goodness some people have a good sense of humor here, thanks endebt Poorboy

The way it has gone for the past two hay seasons I think I will try trapping some too. :lol: It would have to be easier than growing it. If this turns into a successful venture and I get my limit I will probably need to look into buying some tarps to protect them. Since I know about as much...

Good question Tom, I don't know the answer. It is much cheaper for us to go with one ton of triple 19 as opposed to two tons of triple 10. We can tell when we slack on any of the nutrients here with our soil. But we can also tell when we don't get the coverage and miss a little. I guess its...

Well, I am not sure where to start or if I want to start. Ok, I'll bite on your trying to get a rise but just a little. NO, I changed my mind because I just as soon let this thread die since Tom has already commited on a chute, Nice try though! :D Since this is the wrong place for this...
