Are you keeping all the heifer calves?
We put bulls with 130 to 200 heifers every year. Will buy a few more once the Casino empties in March and we have spending money again.Are you keeping all the heifer calves?
Winter fuel, heated shops, and block heaters for trucks. We went years without the shop. A tiger torch was our friend then. Haven't used one in several years. Chores take long enough with no mistakes.My tractor decided to gel up today to. Tan real rough, no power. Luckily I guess I treat fuel year round with howes. Grabbed a bottle of 911 and hour of idling had it running good again. Haven't tried starting diesel truck, my Tacoma does what's needed most days, tractor does hay etc. my operation is small though so not a lot of need for big equipment
Dave do you drive on the snow tires all year round or change over to another set of wheels?Here the roads are often closed or restricted in the winter. It will be chains or snow tires required. A fair size ticket if you were to get caught (wreck) without them. I have "Open Range" snow tires on both pickups. There is an emblem on the side wall of the tire that designates it as a tire that meets the requirements for a snow tire. I tried to take a picture of it but it just doesn't work. I have been driving on snow nearly everyday for a month to get to the freeway.

With low sunlight hours and azimuth, you must have to run your generator a bit during winter Dave? Do you run it just enough to charge the batteries or leave it going to run the place during peak times?Winter fuel, heated shops, and block heaters for trucks. We went years without the shop.

They stay on the pickups year round. The car has studded snow tires. They are only allowed November through March. So I have a whole other set of tires and wheels for the car.Dave do you drive on the snow tires all year round or change over to another set of wheels?
