Good gains on heifers for early April through mid-July. Selling at that time you missed the big price slide on heifers in Aug....there is still a $100 discount on hiefers. Send me a text or email about the sterile heifer process....I'm curious!

Curious...when was the last time someone reviewed content of this thread?

Really?....I only sired one namesake and he is in SE OK currently. Fayetteville AR......a black lab and 2 bucks on profile pic. Nobody around to pull one.....they have to do it themselves!

All, It has been a while since I've posted. Extremely busy on all fronts. Everyone is healthy and the Lil Blonde is having a great school ball season. Enjoying seeing her play out her senior year...she has one offer and we hired a recruiter to find her more college ball opportunities. Grandson...

Doug, Clovers network with grasses via mycorrhizal fungi. This feeds additional nutrients to clover and allows flow of N from clover to grass. Most all grasses, except KY31 fescue, host mycorrhizae. It is unclear if the fungi of fescue roots network with clover. I would say they do as clover...

Science has become good at problem solving.....not so good at problem aversion! How simple would it be just to let the cow leave manure and urine on the ground where she ate the plants and let soil biota recycle her waste for growing new plants? No pits...no wash water....no stink...no honey...

Legumes are good for the soil in mixed plant communities. However when planting, most emphasis should be placed on legume diversity (both specie and variety) so a wide and deep base of rhizobia bacteria is built into the soil microbiology. Just because soil has a lot of rhizobia does not mean...

Looks like dolomite lime in the hopper.....be good for sandy soil. Good luck with the alfalfa....learn your alfalfa pests ahead of time!

Both proud and green with envy! Driving in circles around a field with new equipment breaks the monotony. Don't you guys ever get tired driving in circles? They paint it red so you can find it in that tall stuff when the hitch pin breaks! Really? Sounds good! I'd bet the red paint was on the...

Glad you guys are gleaning useful information from the posts. Working 7 d a week so not much time to post. Fire is a great way to stimulate biodiversity when combined with timber thinning in brush choked areas. First fire gives tremendous diversity but to sustain that diversity over time excess...

50 d recovery on switchgrass since postfire grazing. What a hardy plant! Ungrazed post fire growth behind the wire looks awesome. Giant paspalum coming in. It's one of the unsung heros of tall NWSG.....wide leaf.....short recovery. My heaviest steer made fast gains on paspalum, lespedeza and...

Not against herbicide....not against mowing.....but those need not let one lose focus of the whole picture! What if I told the you the easiest most persistent clover patches we have maintained required no more management than what a cow and planned grazing can provide? We have more clover now...

30 days post weaning tomorrow.....no dusty dry lot, no ionophones, no low level feed grade antibiotic, no implant, no coccidiosis, no respiratory disease, no pinkeye. None of the crap that don't matter! Vaccinated against clostridial and respiratory disease to challenge and boost immune...

Cover crop drilled into mowed briers/weeds/brambles....10 June.....29 July pics....just before cow turn-in. It will feed more animals than a thorn bush ever could! All legumes are welcome here....both tame and native even so called 'invasive'.....air is 80% nitrogen....learn to harvest and...

Perhaps you are correct.....may have girls dig them for flower beds at house....be envy of the hood. May also plant some NWSG to harvest seed. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
