My dad just told me that cow cow/calf pairs sold for $3500 recently around here.



I will talk to my youngest brother to confirm & get the details.

Is that what we call haylage?

no this will be chopped with a forage harvester and put in a clamp with a plastic sheet over it

Little different can on that one. Guessing maybe someone added that cab? I love the old 50-60 series tractors. I’d buy another. Heck I like the old 40 series too

or the low line or stock man cabs

I was planting beans into some pretty good alfalfa today, about 25 acres of it getting nuked . I got 114 acres of beans put in today.

Couple of new moos today. Got the heifer caught but not the bull yet. Momma's aren't used to having me play with their calves yet since they have always been out at dad's. Give them time and they will adjust.

 

[Mastermind]

They are hitting the ground here too.

Never watered much wheat. Dry here

 

[karrl]

It’s pretty dry up here too, just got an inch over the last few days but it was dusty before that.

 

[karrl]

This was last week. It’s cooling down again so it shouldn’t dry up immediately.

I got 324 acres of beans in for my buddy Chase & I believe his uncle got about 80 acres in for him also.

It looks as though it’s supposed to be upper 20’s Saturday night, hopefully the beans don’t break thru before that.

We had about 3/4” Friday & Saturday.

I got the planter switched over to corn today, hopefully we can fire up on corn next Monday. The guessers are calling for rain tonight & tomorrow night.
