The more you know

By
You may have heard me say this before, but I truly believe that the more you know, the more you know you don’t know. There is so much knowledge on so many topics that I overwhelm myself with information sometimes. Just when you think you have a grasp on a subject, you learn something else […] Read more

Back patches improve visual heat detection

By
When you’ve got a lot of females to inseminate do you use estrus synchronization or visual detection with the new heat patches?

Bale grazing still too chancy

By
Glenn Cline fears he may be getting a little old-fashioned in his views for not jumping into bale grazing. His success in the cow-calf business says otherwise.

The grazing plan

By
Hope you have your plan together for this year’s pastures. If not, your first question is: What is your stocking rate?
