The only good thing about working in -10° is that 10° above feels like a walk in the park the rest of the winter.

Feedbunks are frozen in if anyone is curious.

Makes it all worth it having my son watch what dad does.

Is having a bale processor to bed worth it? Any savings on bales, easier to scrape up? Obviously a lot more efficient.

I think I’ve gone through more aureomycin crumbles this year than I had in the previous two years combined.

1 year and 4 day difference between these pictures. Amazing the difference manure, earlier planting, and a good stand can make. Excited to have this in a silage pile this spring.

Looking for 400-550 calves to grow this spring/summer. Will be ran in an 18 acre pen fed in bunks in the pen. Would be available to fill around middle of May. Can source cattle if need. Many references available. Located in Dorchester NE. Call or text 402 418 2245.

A lot easier putting tarps on now rather than in a rush when it’s 100° out. We built these by ourselves last summer and they saved countless cattle. Plan on building 5 more this summer to make sure every fat pen has one.

Pretty big world from his point of view.

Perfect condition, perfect size, and they’re ready for grass in 2 weeks. Mike James

This 18acre 400-600head pen will be open to fill with calves to custom grow May 22nd. It’s hard to replace grass but it’s a good alternative to make some nice yearlings for this fall. Plus I need to feed this nice rye pile up. upIn Dorchester NE 68343. Call or text 402 418 2245

A 1980s tractor meets the early 2000s autosteer. Hopefully a solar flare doesn’t stop me from spreading manure.

If you have a custom feedyard how are you on customer cattle compared to last year at this time? If lower what are you doing as a business to help/fix that problem?

Not a lot of almost 2 year olds get to unload pots before daycare. I’m sure glad Dale gets to live this life with me.

This makes all the bad days worth it.

Shipped some steers that kicked ass, loaded cattle with my kids, and the board was up over $2. It’s a great day to be alive.

What’s the saying for weaning in the dust?

Hungry calves are healthy calves.
