These are called red stars . They are a hybrid and lay brown eggs . The ones we have now are going on their 4th season of laying . Hope these last half that long ! Not usually broody and we don't keep a rooster . First time ordering from this place out of Texas . Usually order from Murrey Mc Murrey out of Missouri. They weren't going to have chicks to late fall .

Probably my best looking cow. She is the dam of the Franchise bull that @ClinchValley86 owns and currently breeding cows for @Hogfarmer10. 7 year old. 1600#. Trouble free to date. Current calf is a December sim-angus sired heifer.

Ideal Hatchery? Have had very good luck with them in the past.

Mean Red had a calf unexpectedly Wednesday. Franchise bull calf. Must have pulled the bull a week too late. She calved in July last year.

Swear he standing like a pit bull in the shoulders/front legs yesterday. Like 12 inches between his front feet. It was kind of freaky!

I told you Sunday to sell her to me. And now you have a red calf.

My wife decided it would be best to water the lawn during the night.

A challenge to try to get hay dried and baled in the spring before the rain. Lots of hay in that barn. Not mine.

Going to be hard to get 3 cuts if we can't get started here soon up this way.

Any idea how long it'd been in the barn?

Just 2 or 3 weeks, at least the hay on the front end. Not sure if all of it was new hay or some left overs. I have always heard that the biggest danger is stacking just baled higher moisture hay against dry hay. One generates the heat and the other ignites easier.

One downside to a large hay barn vs multiple smaller ones.

Several years ago I was baling hay with my cousins round baler. I just had dropped a bale and looked across the field to see a bale on fire. The neighbor called the fire department and they so much water on that one bale that you could push a two foot rod in the ground by hand. The next day went to pick up some bales in another field where I had started and there some smoldering going one near several bales. I'm just thankful I didn't burn up my cousins tractor and baler that night.

Another round moving in. Made it back to the house right as all hell broke loose. Glad I got the bulls moved yesterday!

She's beautiful... Do you give supplemental grain or just grass? Nice fleshy cow if only on grass.

Usually order from Murrey Mc Murrey out of Missouri.

I've ordered chickens from Murry McMurrey and they've always been good birds.

This time I ordered ducks from Valley and I'm not sure I got what I ordered. I ordered silver Appleyard ducks and I think they are crossbred with Welsh harlequin. I like them anyhow... but only one looks purebred. Appleyards shouldn't have a black bill. The one in front is the one that looks like it should. Hey... as long as they lay eggs...
