@gonads16 @4FAngusBoy We are sure good at beating up on each other in the cattle business. Imagine if there was more than one way to be right.

@4FAngusBoy Wait I thought you were suppose to leave it let die and get the feed value as low as you can then graze it in the spring and question in the fall why you got 20% of your cows open?!! #stirthepot

Made the feed across the road, stacked it in the corner, now rolling it out on grass 50 yards away Some efficient nutrient transfer

@Running11Bar Relax. Happened here awhile ago. We have great vets. It’s a non issue.

So long oxytetracycline, penicillin and spectinomycin 🫡

@mbcornfarmer @johnbergen4 @KelvinHeppner Clearly, you have zero clue of what government support looks like for the beef industry compared to grains. Least of all agristability. You realize cows eat corn tho?

@johnbergen4 @KelvinHeppner What's agristability? 😂😂 isn't that the handout program for Cowboys?

Cash advance program not impacted by strike, but AgriStability delays could indirectly affect some applicants realagriculture.com/2023/04/cash-a…

@chaduthf Van L equipment

Who is a REM grain vac dealer in southern Manitoba

@Ag_Deeva @SilsbeRyan @nexusbioag @Ag_is_the_Way1 You can apply neon with a seed treater?

Painting it orange….Treating urea on @SilsbeRyan’s farm with Neon Air nitrogen stabilizer from @nexusbioag , Graham seed treater working great! Video by @Ag_is_the_Way1 What is Neon Air? nexusbioag.com/neon-air

@garrett_wolf3 Freestanding is nice. We built a permanent working corral last year. Well worth it.

@vbfarms88 Hauling it away haha. Done that, now time to replace with freestandings

Next part is less fun.

@silagechopper @4720john @steveconaway1 @14Catbird Being mixed up is definitely hard on the capital budget… #dontiknowit

@4720john @steveconaway1 @14Catbird 100 miles east I could be a farmer. 100 miles west a rancher. I’m in the middle and own everything. Then I gotta have a spare of everything because when it goes down it’s weeks to months to years before you can get something fixed.

Equipment to acre ratio intrigues me. I think equipment expense can be a higher cost than it needs to be if not careful. I know geographic areas need different amounts of equipment, it’s when farmer A has 4-6X higher ratio than neighboring farmer B that make me go “huh”. 🤔

@Kynoch86 @Jason_hildo @BaldurBarons @RoncerayDan @RonKrahn @millatime99 Does the green SM lift openers like seedhawk ?

@Jason_hildo @BaldurBarons @RoncerayDan @RonKrahn @millatime99 Scales, auto calibration, more cart side features, opener lifting, in cab depth adjustment, in cab downforce adjustment, relative flow blockage systems, turn compensation to name a few from across different brands. Up to you if you see value in that technology.

When you get the news you get to demo something you’ve been wanting to demo for ages! I hope that excitement never goes away!

@silagechopper @bl_ag_inc Nailed it. Lots of truth in there 👍

@bl_ag_inc Generations. Not the kind where great grandpa bought it and everyone after milks the cow for free. The kind where every generation adds to it.

What’s the “secret sauce” to a successful farm operation?

@jwilgenburg1 Agreed. Helps to work in pairs. You can get mirror extensions. Last winter we hauled a lot of 4 lane. If we had to do more I would put a camera on the back.

I've hauled a bit of oversize but so far nothing is worse than round bales. Can't see anything behind you...

@graemerice @4FAngusBoy @NerbasBrosAngus Lower production costs. I also think the largest influence on their cow herd size is drought. Less drought, more cows.

@vbfarms88 @4FAngusBoy @NerbasBrosAngus Why do you think the Americans would expand but we wouldn't?

So we are at the phase in the cattle cycle where experts say we will expand the cow herd What if we don’t?

@4FAngusBoy @NerbasBrosAngus I’m guessing we see some expansion on the American side. I will be shocked if it happens up here #thecowsaregone

@NerbasBrosAngus Besides an increase in imports, what would happen if the cow herd just didn’t expand when it’s supposed to?

@jdschopfer Suprevo?

The state of spring…

@brandonbusss Looks great to me. We made some improvements to our handling setup last year. #arrowquip makes good stuff

Recently built this alley to accommodate new chute. May not look like much to the big timers but it sure beats doctoring beef cows with a gate and a scoop shovel handle like years prior

@kperlik Our bigger loader has bias 28L26 forestry tires. Smaller one titan hk 458. Both are rough on the road. Great in the muck

Looking to put lugged tires on my wheel loader. What’s good and what’s garbage?

@jcalder1983 @loopholefarms @wstevenson4 @KPratchler @bigbushelsag @BirnamPork Spot on. I don’t even think twice about the price of boots. When you live in them the cost is a non issue. I wear an 8” lace up timberland. #madeincanada

@loopholefarms @wstevenson4 @KPratchler @bigbushelsag @BirnamPork Are you guys all so cheap you can’t cough up $300-$400 a year to take care of your feet?

@tashley5 And why do I feel like the answer is acre(s) and not ft2?! 🤦‍♂️

Let’s smooth and dry some shit out

@tashley5 I always wonder how big the pen needs to be that you can work in it with a scraper & 4wd. Plus you need room to pile it? #questionsfrommudville
