    Equipment

    All the above equipment is sold. Bulk feed bin and platform scales are all that are left. These scales were custom built for us. All aluminum diamond tread with bed liner spray over the platform. Low profile, light, and accurate!! We use it not only to weigh our cattle, but to weigh feed as...

    Equipment

    Most equipment will be down at OYE. As of now an FFA chapter has said that they wanted everything, but I'm going to let it go to the first person who brings forth money!! One of the fans has a bad motor and another has a bad blade. I have a replacement blade, but haven't changed it out yet. If...

    Equipment

    Does anyone still use the classifieds on this site to market used equipment anymore? Our family will be done later this spring and I have some stuff to sell, but I'm not going to waist my time listing it if nobody will see it.

    Scales

    I think we wound up going 2 1/2W X 6L. We only show steers, so that was plenty big for us. Probably have around $750.00 invested in the whole think. Paid for itself many times over. We take it to shows, and can zero it to be exact with the official scales, not to mention that we can weigh our...

    Scales

    I also have the 2000. I bilt a plywood platform to sit on the top because, as the other reply said, it's too small. A couple of years ago, a friend of mine who does alot of aluminum welding, built me a new aluminum platform that is quite a bit bigger. The only thing he kept were the load cells...

    Question about this site?

    I compare this site to a coffee shop. I can't make myself not come in and shoot the breeze, but on the other hand, I can't leave! I enjoy reading other people's opinions; I try what I think makes sense for our calves, and I leave the rest. The best advice you can get is from someone you can...

    Which Blower is best?

    Don't over think it. Both brands (probably all 3, however I've not had any experience with the boss) are good. Both will wear yours and your kids's arms out. Parts are easy to get, and they're both reputable. If you want a 2 blower system, buy 1 of each, then you'll know. None of them do a great...

    Feed question

    I don't know if they're still in business, but Munding Milling is in Muskogee. Mid-America feeds is right along the highway in Talala (quite a ways, I know). Also, Big V is in McAlester, along with Adams True Value (at one time, they had a mill). As for the Stillwater Milling ration, they also...

    Not about the kids anymore?

    I too will echo what the other people are saying. Who cares if they want to mortgage their house to buy show steers? That's their business, not yours. Showing livestock (as well as just about anything else in life) is what you make of it. My kids show average to above average cattle at below...

    Penn St. Punishment. Thoughts?

    Please don't take this the wrong way, but my feeling in this situation is that the NCAA is punishing the wrong people. None of the current administration, athletic dept. officials, coaches, or athletes had anything to do with this. Why punish them? What did they do? I agree with the financial...

    The state of the planet

    Come on guys....don't be so hard on the kids that are questioning things. What may seem second-nature to you, because you've been doing it for more years than they've been alive, is no reason to bad-mouth them. Not everyone was born with a scotch comb and a can of adhesive in their hands. I know...

    Thoughts On A Very Special Belt Buckle Bonanza for Us

    It made my day to read this! I was talking to a breeder/trainer just Saturday about things like this. It's always fun to see your kids' do well....but when you're competing in the cadillac class on a Ford budget, it even makes it better! Let's face it.....for the most part, you can't teach money...

    Show feed

    We used to have a ration made very similar to Dan's, but this year, thanks to some coaxing from Josh Ramsey, we switched to Essential. Too early to tell, but from what I've seen so far, it's been very impressive. The biggest difference I've noticed thus far, is the fact that in very hot...

    Scales

    I don't know about a mature cow. I believe that I would go too large as opposed to too small. The max on my scale is 2000#, so it should be fine weight-wise.

    Scales

    I bought a set of scales just like the one pictured almost 2 years ago. I bought them from www.palletscales.com I believe. Very helpful. It is either a VS 2000, or a PS 2000. Can't remember. Very helpful bunch of folks. As someone mentioned above, it does set a little higher off of the ground...

    wheat harvest progress?

    Around 50% cut out around the Enid, OK area. Ablout 2-3 weeks ahead of normal. With the exception of a few areas that received hail, excellent test weights and yields. I've heard of weights up to 64#, and one guy cut a quarter that he had grazed until March 1st, that made 79 bushels per acre...

    Football

    Jeff- You seriously sound like someone crying over spilled milk. You may not be....but you sure sound like it. Of course the Big 12 should exist....why shouldn't it? Should the Big 10, the SEC, Pac 12? Thank you for adding to my comment on the comparisons of athletes to schools bailing. I was...
