Due to the continuing rising costs of everything-- we try to use as little as possible.  Corn always gets 2 applications-- that cocktail is mixed and applied by our local coop-- my husband manages that- so right now I do not know what he uses in that off the top of my head Beans-- we watch...

Itk: I need some clarification on the statement-- "when Cag and Doc ran the breed and everyone else just fell into place"? Thanks EF

While we are on the topic of Mantua-- what happened to the farm after Scott died?  Was his niece able to take over? I had heard at the time of his death that there was a lot of debt, but no backup plan to take care of it??? I went to all of their sales that they brought to Iowa at Anita before...

well I'm one of these people that doesn't always use measuring devices when I mix this type of stuff up...LOL I guess if you are using a 4 gallon hand sprayer- I would definitely think that 1 to 2 cups of bleach would be good.  EF

Purchased brand new in September, 2010 Alleyway scale platform with weigh bars and digital read out Only used 1 time last fall to run 25 weaned calves.  This platform would work great for cattle, sheep, goats, hogs, horses, etc. We immediately cleaned it and it has been stored inside. Works...

ditto-- bleach mix is best-- we use one of those 2 or 4 gallon hand sprayers to cover everything with the solution and then just let it air dry. Also- don't forget to wash your brushes, combs, etc. with any of the commercial anti-fungal washes or you can use bleach on those too.

that is a good idea on substituting another grain source for corn-- milo is interesting So how do you properly feed milo?  Not familiar with feeding it at all.  What do you need to determine to substitute it for the corn in a finish diet? thanks EF

no offense, but with today's prices in the market, you may not find anything. EF

We visited several years ago when the kids were younger.  It is very nice, but I was disappointed due to the commercialization of the parking lot and the vendor stands.  I guess I'm kind of like Charlie Brown on this one-- "it has become all commercialized" (Charlie Brown Christmas).  I wish I...

I think corn stalk bales are a staple in Iowa  ;)  We feed them to stretch the hay supply out in the winter.  They are basically good filler and give the cows a "treat" when they dig through the bales and find whole ears or partial ears of corn.  We also supplement during the winter with Mix...

;D I look forward to seeing everyone next week also! Please look me up on Thursday the 18th later in the PM (around 3) setting up the ISA display booth in aisles T U and V-- I believe those are the Shorthorn aisles-- anyway we are in the very south aisles of the cattle barn. No stock this year...

don't forget the small breeders-- great things come from small farms! There are a lot of sleepers and great calves that come from virtually unknown farms.  It's kind of like skipping the giant shopping mall and going downtown to the small Mom and Pop shops on main street-- you never know what...

SW Iowa here--  So far we are looking really good-- got them in the ground within the best timeframes this spring.  Big plants wtih lots of pods so far.  Not a lot of bugs in our fields that we have been watching-- have not seen aphids, leaf beatles.  There are plenty of grasshoppers though...

Obotoks-- thank you for sharing that e-mail.  I would never have known otherwise. I love the Durham Red program and immediately got some Red Angus animals when they started the program because to me it was-- this is our ticket back into the feedlots!!! Some of my best heifer calves this year...
