    GET TO THE POLLS AND VOTE!

    Shouldn't we have started with the most relevant issues and worked towards the less relevant??? Is smoking weed even worth doing if it's not illegal?? ;)  (I wouldn't know)

    Ohioans, Iowans - What do you think? - Non-Cattle

    I have to disagree.  Having sex was the choice.  (In most cases) Why is it that Pro Life people are viewed as anti women's rights?  They aren't anti women's rights, they just believe in protecting innocent life,.  How did people get so brainwashed into thinking abortion is okay?  What if that...

    Move Obama out of the WHITE HOUSE

     Deficit reduction, jobs, change (weren't these Obama's promises in 08 - how has he done?).  There does seem to be a fair amount of amnesia in the country.   How many lawyers have we elected president?  Why should Obama get a second term (good reasons)?  Being a democrat isn't enough of a reason...

    Let's hear some calf reports.

    We've had around 40 calves by Captain Obvious this fall (I am pleased with them, all unassisted, they look good).  I've got a Sydgen Trust bull calf that I'm keeping out of a Garden Prime Star daughter (hopefully my new heifer bull).

    Bull Fencing

    We have a 7 acre field of grass divided into 3 paddocks.  We use 5 strands of high tensile wire to seperate them.  We have gates to access each pen and a gate in between pens (to go from one pen to another).  No bull has gotten out, one bull did  get shoved through the wires (he didn't get hurt...

    attention to you mechanically inclined people! help please!

    Check to see if 12 D.C. volts are going to motor first (at connector under hood).  If there isn't any problem is before connection (wiper switch, fuse, wires) and if there is problem is after connection (wiper motor, ground).  Without a good ground power is useless.  Analog multimeter's...

    THIS IS WHAT DROUGHT LOOKS LIKE ( not really cattle related)

    Everybody was happy with $2 corn except the people growing it.  nkotb makes a good point.  What would we do with all the corn?    How many land loan defaults would there be if suddenly the ethanol industry disappeared.  The ag real estate bubble would make the housing bubble look like a...

    THIS IS WHAT DROUGHT LOOKS LIKE ( not really cattle related)

    Please correct me if I'm wrong but corn, soybean farmers have not been collecting much of any subsides over the past few years.  Why you ask because of prices  have been high(because of ethanol, exports, domestic demand).  Crop insurance is heavily subsidized which in bad years like this one...

    Is it possible......

    M Rock Farm - all your approaches are reasonable in my opinion (I would and have done them) but if it's been 3 months with no improvement and she's going the other way.  You've given her about two months longer than I would have.  It sounds like it's time to forget the show idea for her (she...

    The Gov't definitely has their priority screwed up!!! N/C

    Personal responsibility is illegal.  Teen sex is good. Teen pregnancy is bad.  (It is bad, but decisions have already been made that has led to this). Big soda's are bad. 16 oz. are good. The parents can't make good decisions for themselves or their kids so why ask them?  But then again the...

    Pregnancy rates?

    Looking at our own herd, I would say alot of cows are either going to be open or bred late.  The past 20 some days has been a little cooler here and it seems like the bulls have been busy (which I don't like this late).  Usually we would pull bulls on 1rst of Sept.  But what are the options...

    Thoughts of My Steer??

    He could be more level across his top (me being extremely picky).  That's all I got!  I don't think I've seen a nicer herford steer.  Beautiful animal, like everyone else has said he should be at the top allot!  (clapping)

    Santa Gertrudis opinions

    I got a soft spot for these kind of cattle!  3 and 2 are my picks, the first one just looks a little more terminal to me (maybe it's her age?).  Good Luck with them.  8)

    Lance Armstrong

    My opinion:  Is he passed all the drug test when he was competing (a lot of test).  Why go after him all these years later and ruin him and his legacy?  What evidence do they have now that they didn't have when he was competing and if they do have something (which nothing has been shown outside...

    "Easy" (Coalpit Creek Leader 6th)

    I got a little semen this spring off of you, but I haven't used it yet (maybe this fall).  Easy is a good name for him! :)

    Grazing corn stalks with lots of corn....

    Either fence a little at time or feed them for a week or so a little bit of corn a day (so it is more of a gradual adjustment).  Unless there is just an awful lot on the ground it really isn't anything to worry about.  It sounds like your corn was already mature and just blew over which is...
