@SecRollins@USDA@USDA_APHIS@Screwworm_RR Can calves (new borns) get covered by cydectin? ๐คท The cows are protected but what do we do with new dropped calves??
@amandaa_fuller And I'm out there today spraying on iodine on newborn umbilical cords. Because I'm like WTF, grandpa talked about the screw worm but he's not around to ask questions anymore. All the larger cattle are treated with pour on cydectin the winter lice dose. Can calves get this dose?
@QShieldknight I feel ya. It's rained west, eat south and north of me. The storms just split, I don't know what I've done but Lord I'm sorry. We're now at 1/2 inch since September
@GoddessofGrain I was voted on also by the editorial board for the honor. Mine was for an Angus Ranch. I'm curious how much they was charging you, they wanted 3k from me.
Are window tint laws still a thing in Texas?. Just curious. Seams like 1 out of 20 vehicles I see are totally blacked out. I bet their AC works so much better.
@MaxROIFarmer@JohnDeere Went to the IH house for a 1000 20 spline pto to 540 adapter. They wanted $488 bucks. Found same part number on line for 60 bucks ๐คท
@21cowhorses The sale here yesterday they split apx 90% of the pairs. Cows 160 to 172. Calves was 500 bucks for a fresh one to 1300/ 300lb. Prices soft due to drought. We brought home a trailer of peewees and just feed them TMR in the feedlot. We don't have grass also but can bunk feed
@rodgrisier1958 For me, feeding works better, and is the cheapest route with the current land prices and pasture that can't get a lease on. I've been feeding a total mixed ration we make on site due to the drought. Planning on putting in irrigation on some pasture.
@ErickFarmer73 I'm really thinking about the new solar powered 1/4 mile pivots and wells. It's a big up front cost but then basically no charge to water 24/7
@rodgrisier1958 Nice we're at 0.8 tenths since September. Worst part is, it rains just over the rain gauge the grid uses to measure rain for the PRF. So no rain and no insurance check. Wheat never came up. Been feeding TMR to pairs since November.
