I always get a black bull, the cows are from a nice neighborhood..... Hereford, Limousin and Angus.

I agree that Limousin seems to be nuts, there the first ones to put heads up get out of dodge.

Used to like the charlaigh but they were sorta nuts too. The dairy steer I'm eating is a jersey

I was see(?????? What the fire truck) a Limousine bull once. His fishys had issues. Went back through with an Angus for cleanup. Everyone of those cows bred.

 

[ajschainsaws]

They do look good. Minus the horns. I hate horns.




I have a lot of Holstein influence in the herd from breeding the dairy heifers to Angus bulls. I've tried Simmental, Saler, Gelbviegh, & limousin crosses on those and keep coming back to Angus. Really liked the Limousin but some of them would just be nuts. Been playing with some red Angus but it's been hard to find quality bulls without paying through the nose.




Always liked Jersey the best. They just don't dress out.

Saler bulls where all the rage here for a few years crossed with ruby red Devons and south devons they seem too work well on Simmental cows

Limousin can be a bit nuts , blonde aquaitinne bulls on the Holstein 90% of the time come out black then cross again with Hereford and that next generation you gotta cow that'll suckle a pair of calves

Going to pickup the girls pigs this afternoon. This is the first time in about year 20yr maybe we will keep pigs on the farm. Back then we keep about 50-60..... I'm only picking out 3.

Just so I don't have to drive out of town to the New Holland dealer, can anyone point me to a suitable replacement which meets the M2C134D spec of their hydraulic/transmission fluid? Anyone running Deere Hy-Gard in a CNH?

Not sure,but I don't think so. Got a CaseIH dealer. I'd say Hytran is compatible.

Hy-Gard meets several CIH/NH service ratings including the one I asked about. Just wondering if it's compatible to top off after a filter change. This POS is leaking like a seive anyway.

CaseIH Hy-tran and New Holland MasterTrans are the same oil manufactured by Akcela.

this is what new holland sells now . they phased out the 134D.

the tractor supply brand hydraulic fluid is listed for new holland but read the label. i just looked at a jug i have in the shop and it says can be used as a replacement for 134D but i don't use it in mine.

Nearest NH dealer is an hour northwest, nearest CIH dealer is an hour southeast.

 

[czar800]

To be honest with you we run universal hydraulic fluid from tractor supply in everything we own. The only machine's I kinda worry about are the Excavator and one old international Hydro tractor.

The kids are so happy to have pigs!

This is what I use over here in the new hollands and older fords they are all sharing trailers and other machines with rams so oil gets mixed and Noe there all the same
