Remember when you have livestock you will probably also have dead stock

At the risk of getting in cow trouble again, I don't believe you eat Holsteins. Chris Why not? Once you get the hide off it's beef just the same. The Holstien bull calves make good beef cows, they sure won't make milk and you have to do something with the old milk cows once they don't make milk anymore.

I think we all need to get out and jump more. This is starting to sound more like Successful Farming than Dropzone.com I just wish I could get my tractor picture small enough to upload so you could see what a real tractor is suposed to look like.
-
Sounds like you are all set. I figured that you weren't just winging it without knowing anything, that could get real expensive fast.

I was thinking the same thing. I can see the city guy sitting in the croud bidding not knowing he is getting run up by the seller. Or someone talking him into a pair of runny nosed calves that will soon have a BIG vet bill. Scott what do you think? I'm thinking they could be ready for the BBQ by next Labor Day.
-
Well you could feed them some brewers grain. Then they'ed have beer too. If they are 500lbs now then it shouldn't take 18mo to get them to weight. If you keep the feed to them they will be big enough sometime next summer. How are you keeping them through the winter? In a barn or out in the yard? I assume that you have some winter in IL so you'll need some hay as well.
-
don't let them run around too much and then pour the grain to them the last three months before the freezer. Makes them real tender.
-
Are they heiffers or bull calves? If they are Bulls then you had better get they nutted soon, bulls don't make tasty meat. What are you feeding them?

I have a picture I want to use but can't figure out how to resize it so it will work. My technologicly challanged brain is smoking from overload right now. HELP!!!!

Ding!Ding!Ding!!!! We have a winner folks I have been thinking the same thing for a while now as well. Also BIG OIL may see this as the time to try and weed out some of the compition from alternative fuels which are just now starting to make real strides in the marketplace. Remember there are only a very few oil companies that controle the market. While I would like $1.25 gas again it isn't practical and I really don't think it would be in anybodies best interest.

Cold dark and quiet. I'm with you there except when I'm drying corn, the dryer is just outside the bedroom window and sounds like an Otter at takeoff It will run almost continuously for over a month when corn harvest starts. It's funny how I can sleep right through that with no trouble but I could never sleep at anyones house in town where there was normal ambient noise.

I know I can win the award hands down.

I've got a field that is plastered with the stuff. It plugs up the combine and has spines on it and smells real bad making it a real bitch to get out of a combine. My biggest patch is always right by the road and every year I either see someone picking some or see some that has been cut off and taken away. As for riding your place of it permanently, good luck. I believe that the seed can stay in the soil for as long as 60 years with out germinating making it neer impossible to eradicate. If it is growing though a good shot of 2-4-D or Roundup will kill it fast.

See you there!

You call that a tractor! While I do have a lawn mower and normally use it I have also been known to mow the yard with an 80hp John Deere and a 9' hay cutter. It's kind of interesting getting in between the trees and around the house with it but it does as good a job as a lawn mower. I actually hate mowing lawn but it is a necessary thing. I have almost three acres around my house and about 140 full grown trees to take care of as well.
