If you have concerns about your bill being too high and the possibility of something using excess energy, the best place to start is at the main electrical panel that is fed from the meter. Try the following when you have a few minutes to spare and you have a typical energy use day. *** Prior...

Like Jake posted, Sullivan's Turbo Fan is advertised at 4 amps, so you could assume if you had two fans that are of similar horse power you would be around 8 amps for two fans. Keep in mind that the in-rush current of a motor starting will be higher. If blowing breakers/fuses is a problem, start...

I would agree on your viewpoint on Palin. She knows she is going to get a ton of negative press, so she has been very proactive in regards to her role with the Tea Party and her reality shows. While those things don't necessarily interest me, and in some cases turn me off, she has to do...

While there is a place for finding the middle of the road at times, I'm all for leadership that does have a partisan view. Too often we get politicians that have good ideas, but when they get to Washington they focus on trying to please everyone and walk both sides of an issue. In my viewpoint...

Small is the key word. My son got a club calf from Darby Line at Triangle J Ranch in Nebraska last year out of him. Darby used Jimmy the Greek on a few SimmiAngus cows. The calf was very thick, easy on the move and very sound. The calf was finished at 1,150 lbs. The calf won his class in an...

We did not leave the CIDR in her as it would not stay.

About 1/2 of the CIDR would remain out. (Not including blue plastic pull) I have not witnessed a standing heat from her yet, but about a month ago I noticed a few in the pen excited around her. I'm not sure if it was her or my daughter's crossbred heifer that caused the excitement.

We started synchronizing our small herd Friday and we were not able to insert a CIDR in our top heifer. The vet was only able to insert the CIDR a third of the way in and asked if she was a twin/freemartin? The calf is not a twin, has been cared for daily at home since birth, and has been...

Angus: Limestone Jupiter BC Big Daddy

We wieghed in three calves on January 9th. Market heifer was 698, and the two steers were 702 and 752 respectively. Our county show weighins are July 28th, that gives us exactly 200 days. Our target weights for the fair are 1275 to 1350, so we will need to do about 2.85 - 3.00 lbs/day. One of...

It has been a year since this post was active, but I wanted to find out what others think of the calves this bull throws. We have great support from ABS and we prefer to use one of their bulls. We have two heifers, and one two-year old that we need a calving ease bull for. In addition, these are...

Amherst FFA is having their show March 19th at the Buffalo County Fair Grounds in Kearney. Contact Brent Nollette at [email protected] Listed below is the link for all sanctioned junior shows in Nebraska. http://www.showcattlepage.com/jnc/sanctioned_shows.htm

Unfortunately, the Gassman's are seperating and this is the only way to divide the property fairly. It is sad as they have had a long tradition of quality club calves and many expect it to be a very good sale. Don't expect any fire sale deals with the quality product and the high demand.

I noticed this last post while researching Accuration and was curious what others have experienced with it. Our kids are on a limited budget and we need to get the highest rate of gain possible to reach our target weights. Our local cooperative recommended using the Purina Accuration for the...

Our small herd is built on the Dateline foundation. Every animal in our herd has him in their pedigree. While we have limited experience, we are very pleased to have that influence on our herd. Connealy Dateline was know for low birth weight with cutting edge performance. Dateline's sire, DHD...

As stated previously, the Junior Nebraska Cattlemen's Association has a listing of shows. They update shows regularly, but some of the big shows don't always make it on the site in a timely fashion. Case-in-point is that the Nebraska Cattlemen's Classic show in Kearney - Feb 20th, is not listed...

We've been battling ringworm on 5 calves that we are getting ready for the Classic. Noticed it the week before Christmas and didn't get a good start until the week after Christmas. It was pretty bad by then. We've used a combination of Scarlex and Blue Star Ointment. The Scarlex is made for...

Interesting thread drift from Pioneer to 004. I know they are from the same herd and they share the same Traveler 8180 on the sire and AAR New Trend on the dam side in their bloodlines, but they are different bulls. We have a small operation, but all animals we raise spend time in the show ring...
