@rhofford If he liked it and hasn’t read Snow Dog by Jim Kjelgaard I’d highly recommend it. Same author has more good ones as well but Snow Dog is one that always stood out to me

Never stress about when to pull the trigger to buy bulk fuel with my one simple trick I use, don’t have any bulk fuel storage. #agtwitter

@efarmsfive @gwiesefarms That's fair. Part of the issue is that the margins were so small that to even have a viable "side gig" you needed 200+ cows or 500+ feeders. At current margins 100 cows would be a great cash flow boost and a way to add value to poor grain, poor crops, etc.

@NYKCattle @gwiesefarms I’m just sour on labor intensity. I’ve done it. Nothing to a 600 head backgrounder. My son grew up while I was constantly feeding or working on infrastructure/equipment. We sold it and now I get to play golf on weekends with him. Wasn’t worth it to me looking back

Diversification of income within the operation can be your saving grace. There are synergies and huge market advantages to having both crop and livestock. Why do people shy away from this financial superpower so much?

@efarmsfive @gwiesefarms But you're right, adding cows TODAY is maybe not the right time from a cash allocation standpoint especially if cash is tight in your grain operation.

@NYKCattle @gwiesefarms I was assuming guy already farming I guess. There’s a small with purchasing said cattle also. $$$. And finding grass but that’s another story altogether. None of it great either way for a grass roots operation

@efarmsfive @gwiesefarms I'd argue the opposite. Cattle are easier to incorporate into a grain operation than grain into a Cattle operation. Overhead for grain (equipment and crop land) are far more of a hurdle than fence/pasture/water.

@gwiesefarms Cattle overhead expenses are huge if you don’t have infrastructure in place. The work and $ required is a huge hurdle in my opinion.

@ThatEricAlper …..Taylor swift was Brad Paisley’s opener. It was an incredible concert (back in 2008/2009 I believe)

@garrett_wolf3 @Chance2FarmLtd A better spot to look at it is about 7 or 8 years ago when everything went way up, except cattle. We're just getting caught up now. Most guys (including me) are just working to get back out of that hole before thinking about expansion or investment.

One of our junior herdsires posing. SLCC RIGHT TIME 1M is a direct son of the legend Leachman Right Time. On the cow side he has some of the most proven genetics the Youngdale Angus program has to offer. We are excited for the influence 1M will have on our herd.

@desrochersfarm Thats crazy, that was us a couple weeks ago. And generally we’re used to calving in that (through the barn). But i just had probably my tenth full night of sleep of calving because its been nicer than -4° and i’m not worried about ears freezing

They were calling for -31 overnight. This is much colder. Better dress warm to feed the cattle this morning.

The last lim-flex available by private treaty is a good one. Only 11 months old, he's heifer safe, homo polled, and out of our best Lim-Flex cow. Open to offers. He's going to make someone very happy this spring.
