@HeathenKing67 @6Shittalkerffs It needs a proper frame built and mounted on a solid post to make it swing. That gate is poorly suited for the job

[Jacob Carlson, DVM @Flyingheifer]

@NickHorob They seem to be doing well, though.

@Mjacobs_7 $4500-$5000 is what I’ve heard

@cowbroker I feel sick just seeing the jug.

[Jacob Carlson, DVM @Flyingheifer]

@CBKimbrell We better hope it doesn’t get in the feral swine population.

@embdenhaymaker I’ll be looking for a large group like this shortly. Can you pm details please?

@brim006 Let’s deal with the wind all day, then when the wind goes down, the mosquitoes come out. Also applying high % deet multiple days in a row makes my skin fall off. It’s pick your poison here for sure.

[Jacob Carlson, DVM @Flyingheifer]

@KINGS1973 @sd1459 Practically yes. A friend of mine just closed out a pen of straight Angus with a live weight of 1850 though. We would have to stretch out the growth curve beyond 30 months of age to get a whole lot bigger. I think.

@steveconaway1 @CBKimbrell I’m only planning to buy females with 50% upfront cash. Finance the rest. Absolutely not going to get over leveraged in this environment. Pay them down and buy more. Rinse and repeat.

[Jacob Carlson, DVM @Flyingheifer]

@_TheMizzouTiger Bring it on. Feeding cattle high priced corn is a way to pull down carcass weights. Shrinkage the bed supply, thus supporting prices. BTW the only way to opt out of being bent over by suppliers that take all your margin is to add livestock into the mix.

[Jacob Carlson, DVM @Flyingheifer]

@NerbasBrosAngus They will show you studies that show a great ROI and steal as much margin from you as they can get away with.

[Jacob Carlson, DVM @Flyingheifer]

@JerodMcDaniel Buy as many as you can. I’m that optimistic, where else would a guy put money? The stock market? You get your head chopped off there. Buy cows and opt out of the scams that steal all your margin in farming.

@4FAngusBoy One could apply this to the NDGOP Convention in Minot this weekend.

@JerodMcDaniel Looks like us in the northern hinterlands will be a buffer from a Canadian invasion that uses armored up vintage Versatile tractors as tanks.

@silagechopper Tell me you don’t have GPS in that rig. Your cost per acre must be hard to beat.

[Jacob Carlson, DVM @Flyingheifer]

@HRT_USA No the whole state is like this. It’s fun.

[Jacob Carlson, DVM @Flyingheifer]

@incattlepeasant @silagechopper @koinzangreg @PUKU2Feeders It’s simple, easy and generally more expensive. Mostly see it a small farmer feeder operations, that can’t justify the cost of a micro machine for limited inclusion ingredients.

[Jacob Carlson, DVM @Flyingheifer]

@runningbehind77 Definitely yes.

[Jacob Carlson, DVM @Flyingheifer]

@KenSchaus @ThinkethSo Tag placement, head restraint, proper pin and tagger, and taking the twines off your round bales are big here. Our cows have had <1% loss over three years. The ones that were missing were out of cows that for some reason can remove any tag you put in them.
