I wonder how many a black baldy crossbred end up in a purebred angus package.
Like at the meat market?
I never saw them claim it was "purebred Angus"...
It's enough of a stretch to call it "Angus Beef".
I think the criteria for that is that the animal must have at least a patch of black hide now..
The royal family now qualifies as Angus Beef.

50% + black hided - is what I've been told for years.

Still having trouble with the new old Wishek. Welded up a depth cylinder today. Cracked out at the base. Been welded before. I ground all that schit off and did it again. Pretty weenie looking weld from the factory. I still cant believe they charge 1000 dollars for them. Got three loose gangs. The end spacers are worn out so the nut wont get tight. Another trip to the parts store! Hired man is having good luck with the light disc working ahead of the seeder. Dad is making good time on the seeder. Hopefully get the Wishek going tomorrow. My organic ground is a wreck of elephantine proportions!

I have been hailed out lots and lots of times. The worst one was when my crab apple tree got hailed out. No crab apple jelly for the next year.

Corn day here!
Today is Monday and it is also a holiday which means the tire shop isn't open(not too mention fertilizer...).
Pain in the ass but the wise old man had a spare tube hidden away(front tire of course).

Draxxin is very good and very high. I bought a 50 cc bottle and came close to having a stroke when I paid for it. That bottle has saved a few animals though. Jim

Richard, all I know is we loaded 12 bags into the old IH Cyclonado and my dad took off. 50 acres and he figured 12 bags would be halfway.

Corn on corn, Wilbur Ellis spread the blend.
It requires a fair amount of fertilizer.

Very nice looking field Sam. Very clean. You guys really got on top of your spraying this year. 1000 acres to go for us......... Be under 4 digits by tomorrow. The organic ground will be last. Only damn acres I have that would turn a profit this year. If it aint one thing....its two things! Fellow doing the pre working reported that he found some moisture and mellow soils today though. Nice change from the concrete we have been running in.

Jim, trust me I'm cherry pickin' field vids! Plugged that drill about about 25-30 times so far this spring... We hire out all the dry land spraying to a guy who is setup and always show up ASAP. He can get it done way faster than we'd be able to.

Around here buyers like the black baldies. My herd is all black, and that's because my son insists on buying Angus bulls from a customer of his. I may just pull rank the next time and buy a Hereford bull to put on our black cows. But, the black calves sell about as well as the baldies.

Sam, your picture reminds me of a recent purchase, a JD 7300 6 row ("hobby" farming) with a row marker. You wouldn't believe how hard it is to find a planter with a row marker around here anymore.
