    College Degrees

    Here is my input, for what it is worth. The degree is essential and one thing that can never be taken from you. I have friends who just got a 2yr ag degree and are doing fine. I went on and got my BS. In the end it is just a piece of paper. It all depends on your knowledge of the industry and...

    Waterer Keeps Freezing

    Another thing that I have done and had good luck with is taking old carpet and using as extra insulation around the top where the float is. Then I just use 2x4's on each side to hold it down. The biggest problem I have with doing this is that if the water does freeze, then it is a pain to get...

    Waterer Keeps Freezing

    They make heat tape that is small (like the thickness of yarn) that you can run up and wrap around the faucet. Normal heat tape is normally too wide to wrap around the faucet. You can also get a heat lamp bulb that is shatter proof if contacted by moisture, I have had best luck with these...

    donor question

    Could be because she was over stimulated. Have had cows do this before. Our guy normally starts them out on a low dose to see how they respond. Will bump them up on dosage as needed, every once in awhile one will over stimulate when he bumps them up on dosage.

    Rock Star bull?

    We got along pretty good with him on Simmy cows. 2 problems were they were not very good haired and attitude could have been better. But sure added muscle and bone to them.

    Getting started after college

    I would look into feeding dairy hfrs if you have the feed and lots. Or if you can sit in the sale barn and buy some smaller bunches then get them sorted up at home and make loads and "upgrade" them you can normally turn a profit. As a young producer myself I feel that we have to have diversity...

    Calves for sale Private Treaty

    We have had some traffic but everybody seems to be waiting until the bid sales start in a couple weeks. I don't know what else to say but if you are in the market for a steer or heifer at a reasonable price and still be highly competitive you need to take a closer look at these calves.
