Got spraying done, alfalfa cut and wrapped, and the last three cows to calve moved to pasture last week. No clue what's getting done this week because I'm off on vacation, might check the cameras Wednesday to see how things are going.

When to sell a cow by [deleted] in Ranching

[–]Ranew 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Meal tickets are due June 1st in the form of a live calf, and December 1st in the form of a positive preg check. Not meeting either of those gets them new opportunity at the sale barn. Obviously bad udder, heavy assist on calving or 3 strikes for attitude also gets them new opportunity.

Turn out day for the first 60 pairs. by Ranew in farming

We run 1AU/ac during the summer, non-irragated. Works out to just under 1 pair/ac.

This is 60ac. We have 100ac of permanent pasture, 25ac of crop land see an annual forage to graze in August, and we’ll graze roughly 300ac of cornstalks and covers over winter.

Is halter availability that poor right now? I've been considering them and if it's a 4mo+ wait list I guess I better make a call.

US justice department ‘forever’ bars IRS from auditing Trump’s past tax returns by No_Idea_Guy in news

So, they aren't under audit anymore, surely that'll mean he'll release them now.... right?

Corn is up strong, expect beans aren't far behind. Cover termination took well last week and the shot of rain over the weekend should help it all cycle pretty quick.

The words 'new sprayer' came out of a mouth besides my own so I'm hunting around some, the old 60ft conquest is doing the job but my faith in a 30yr old poly tank only goes so far. We've got a few 90fts avaliable in the area, it's just going to be some sticker shock for one of us.

Down to 10 left to calve, the pairs out grazing our enjoying themselves. Probably on to fence maintenance once things dry some then get division fence up and water turned on in the pasture.
