re: Anyone actually farm or ranch in here??

Get a round baker. Square bales require manual labor to get in the barn. Bale about some square and roll up the rest. Two people can easily bale 1000 acres round hay with the right equipment. You would need five truckloads of Mexicans and lots of big barns for squares. Or very expensive unreliable automatic square bale puckers for that much square hay.

I got rid of my square baker cause I go sick of people saying they were coming pick up out of the field. Then don't show up and I have to pick up 500 square bale with one helper.

You can make round hay so much faster and with less fuel. That much land a square baler would pay for itself. But for mass production a new Vermeer can't be beat.

What are yal running and where if you dont mind me asking?

The new vermeers are super sweet. We have a 2010 555 at work and it's so nice.

Making round bales just makes so much more sense than square. If you have a decent sized tractor with a front end loader and water in the back tires you can get all the grass out the pasture VERY fast.

Mixed bag. A couple of F1 brafords, a couple angus, and plenty of assorted shite. Had em on 2 charolais bulls, but we actually sent them to the yard two weeks ago. They were old as shite but were throwing some great calfs. Doing it all in pville.

I'm getting lucky and not paying a whole lot for school. If my dad would have bought me one of these though

I might have just gone to community college or something

While we are on the farming subject. Anyone been to the sale barn lately. Wondering I horses are bringing anything across the scales.

My pop and his brother went 2 days ago. Not sure if they were selling horses though.

I know you can sell a 13 year old charolais bull for $1.00

I'll have to give him a call and see if he saw some. The FIL has some that needs a new home. But it's hard to give a horse away now. I've had ten horses offered to me for free in the last year.

You can make money on a good cutting horse if you can find somewhere to ride the damn thing.

I have a buddy who is a damn good roper. He's made a pretty substantial amount of money on his horse.

Thing is, there's no money in a horse if it isn't better than the rest. There's money in a cow if it has meat on it.
