    best place for trailer lettering and logo design

    We have some fantastic racecar graphic companies in our area. They also have done all of the wraps for our company semis and tanker/trailers. It never hurts to ask

    2 speeds or 5 speeds?

    I like them because they seem to fit better in my hand. I also feel like I can sculpt a little better

    Synchronized but no heat sign

    You give the GNRH 24 hours before you breed? I'm not a AI specialist but wouldn't the egg already be pasted by the time you breed? The timed AI protocols that I've seen do the same the as what Rackranch said... Give a shot of GNRH then breed.

    Remote control box for blowers is there a market?

    They have made something similar to this. There is a receiver at the bottom of the blower and an inter grated switch on the hose that turns it on. It's made by Ringer Bros. Of course Sullivan's sells a complete blower and remote. Not sure if you can buy the remote to add to your own personal...

    Cool Room Alternative

    It's basically the same concept as in-floor-heat,just cold  (lol) We have used in the floor heat in our house and shop... We love it. Just make sure it's laid through out. The concrete idea is excellent. It's kinda the concept as the old brick barns, keep the cold in and the heat out (vise...

    How much to feed

    We had twins a week ago. One is easily going to be a bottle calf. Just curious on how many bottles it should get a day right now... And in the future

    Why show steers

    When I was in high school I showed steers, brother heifers, and sister market heifers. That way we never competed in the same class. Now that I've graduated we still show one of each. Something about showing a steer lol

    Shorthorn Cross for Heifers

    I have had quite a few cattle guys (ones that know what they are saying) say not to use i80 on a plan or even good flexed heifer. He will throw a killer neck, but he makes them straight and they can't walk the best. (Yes you will have the killer ones that win everything. But think about how...

    It shows that as an industry we all can come together, despite our differences.

    Which Blower is best?

    I like the boss magnum better one because the filter is in an area where it can't get wet. It works great in our wash room, no wet filters or motors. The whole system is completely enclosed and sealed unlike a Sullivan double where you have a "y" either with a hose or metal y. With a Sullivan...

    Creep Feed

    In my opinion "creep feed" is fed to growing, nursing calves. We are putting our creep feeder out this weekend. Not sure what the feed is off the top of my head (I will get back to you) We feed our show calves a "grower" show feedfrom around 500lbs on up. Everything else gets cracked corn...

    Mob Boss

    Haven't used him.. But I do love his extention of his neck. Looks a lot better than those short, chubby bulls.

    Which Blower is best?

    They all will get the job done, wheathrr it's a Sullivan's, circuitteer, Hamm's blowout, or a Boss. It all basically comes down to preference. We love our boss. When we started out we bought two used blowers from Sullivan's  (one was a circuitteer) and upgrade a few years later. It's all up to...

    Which Blower is best?

    Get a boss blower. They are from Lousiana and are WAY better than the Sullivan blowers. They also have one called the boss magnum which is two blowers. We have both a Sullivan double blower and a boss magnum and the boss is a 100x better. They cost a little more but we love it. In regards to...

    Questions on Calves under Fans

    Before we had a cooler we tied under fans. We would feed then wash dry ect. Then on our way out of the wash rack we'd give them a drink. Tied them under fans tell night time washing then kick them out for feed. Never had a problem with it. On days when it was 100+ and 90%+ humidity (Iowa...
