Late Weaning

[gaucho]

Think about it this way GF... if Randy's experiment is true than would it not mean that the calves that are late weaned will have better carcass qualities regardless...put is simpler the late weaned calves were better able to express their genetic potential .. I thought what Gerald Fry said sometimes was BS but the old boy has some good points... I would also believe part of the equation is the bypass protein and not just butterfat.

2 GD inches in this storm. Come on enough
is enough!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No hail but wheat is lodged from one end
to the other. UGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG
water water every where.

I recall the Manitoba Canola Growers AGM in Brandon in March, where I met a bunch of young farmers from Saskatchewan who told me that farming was up, up and away with no looking back and no need of fear. Honestly.
(I knew it was complete, unadulterated BS, but I just had to share)

SF3 what clouds were over you! Regina North
was just black. 30 degree days and SE wind
means get ready. How much rain did you get?
We heard a tornado touched down on Number
one highway at Balgonie. No details available?

Environment Canada shows 30 degrees by
weekend again.

In about 1992 (hope my memory is correct) we
were harvesting Lentils, 100 degrees, fire trucks
following combines. My son and I had to goto
Yorkton for a couple of days, Came back to
frozen crops, Augst 18. Lentils in swath
downgraded badly. Standing, totally fried.

The joys of farming. This year full moon is August
31? but that hasn't mean't anything last few
years.

MarshDillon I have probably seeded
canola for more years than you. Yellow
aster their is Sweet F*$k all you can
do. Leaf hoppers are the problem and if
you could spray every day for two weeks
you might get them but then you might
not.
Big storm all the way north, Ugly,
looked like nothing was coming then it
hit and did it hit. 2 inches in less
than 30 minuets. Water every fricking
place.
Hope today we miss the storms.

I knew I was doing something right!
I also know others were doing this.
I also knew I'd get ripped by someone for daring to do something different!
I agree 100% with Randy about staying as close to nature as possible.

gaucho: Those are very impressive calves and cows. Don't look like they are being abused to me!

It takes all kinds! LOL

Hail storms tearing through Albertie this
year too. All ya kin do is get the crap
insurance and keep yer fingers crossed..

Ugly windy day today. Hope it doesnt turn into
wednesday into Turnsday. Well no Canola nor
flax in swath to transplant. Hang in there SF3
and all.
