    Preferred Head Chute?

    Has anyone seen the new Qcatch 8400 chute?  I looked at the WW/Stampede and liked it, but saw a lot of the issues mentioned above.  Then I gravitated to the Sioux Steel because it's cheaper than Stampede, has many of the same features, and has a little smoother/simpler operation.  But then I saw...

    2011 truck - gas or diesel??

    Thinking about getting a 2011 truck, probably a Silverado 3500.  Would love to have the new Duramax, but am wondering with diesel prices and the new diesel exhaust fluid requirements, is it still worth it to spend the extra $8k on a diesel?  On paper, the mileage and pulling power are supposed...

    N/C 4 wheeler v. utv

    Have heard a lot of good things about the Polaris atv's and the ranger utv.  Any opinions on those?  I'm still torn - I love the mobility/speed of the 4 wheeler, but it seems like having that bed back there to haul feed/hay/newborns/fencing stuff/spraying/and all the other stuff you use every...

    N/C 4 wheeler v. utv

    I am looking at getting either a 4 wheeler or a utv for the farm.  We used to have a 4 wheeler and it was priceless to getting things done around the farm, checking cows, etc...  However, it bit the dust and we just hadn't replaced it.  Since then, the utv thing has really caught on.  So, I was...

    Need Help Breaking

    I've always seen the steel halters, but have never known how to actually use one.  I guess I've not needed one bad enough yet to have to learn.  Can anyone explain how they work? or how to use them? Thanks!

    Squeeze chutes - For-Most or Titan West?

    I have been searching for a squeeze chute and was hoping for some help from Planeteers on what you like and dislike.  I have priced a Titan West chute w/palp cage and really seem to like the way it handles.  My vet uses a For-Most and I've had a few people recommend them to me as well. A couple...
