Shes always thrown bull calves.....till this this time. One of each. Of course the heifer probably ain't gonna be able to be breed....but she'll make a good steak.

The old combine is going to a new home. I’m glad. I do better with hay, and I haven’t had room to store it inside since I got more hay equipment.

How do yall deal with weeds in the pasture? I was helping someone on their farm a few months ago, and there was an undesirable amount of 3 weeds I can remember: One woody little bush I call wild pomegranate because the tiny berries look like tiny pomegranates and smell like them too when crushed. Another is tall skinny dark green with leaves in groups of 3 if I remember correctly, and the third leaves a gold dead stem from last year even late into the current year. I suggested mowing occasionally, but I don't know how effective that would be.

I'm guessing the weights are to keep it from bouncing?

Found the leak at last but more than I bargained for all different sizes

I have a Kuhn Speed rake that behaves the same way.

Thanks for the idea.

Had a little help this afternoon.

She gets really serious when she’s running the tractor and gets upset if she sees my hand anywhere near the wheel.

Was out taking a walk this morning and the cows were all excited about something.
This little guy was on the wrong side of the fence!

 

[czar800]

Just a few other pictures.
Even with me rotating the grazing were running out of grass....

WE NEED RAIN.

Praying for you and your neighbors to get some rain. Not many people understand how quickly things go south when you're raising cattle and the rain stops.

Decided to take care of a few groundhog holes this afternoon.
