Most of you may think this is stupid, but I'm thinking some of you may think its fun.  Here goes.

 

How much does this steer weigh?  He is a 7/8 Simmental, 15 months old, with a hip height of 52.5".  That is all the info I'm giving you, the rest you'll have to look at the pictures to figure out what you are going to say.

Considering a 3:1 ratio of hay intake to poop, and the decent weather in the plains states this year, and the hairy ears and the boney front knees, and the extra large booger hanging out of it's nose, my un-educated guess would be 1670 lbs.

15 burgers, 5 steaks, 2 ribs, and 3 big bufords

I sure hope he yields better than that!!  Every fat steer usually yields ~30 ribeyes, in addition to the T-bones, sirloins, and other steaks.  Oh, and a #### of a lot more than 2 ribs!

Alot. I will be sure to weigh all of it, as it goes in my freezer.  :P

Well, you can figure on only 60-62% of the live weight going into your freezer, so that isn't the best method to figure out.   :cool:

why do cows always have snot or fecal matter hanging out of them???

A cow with a wet nose is a healthy cow, having a booger like that sticking out isn't all that bad.  Don't want it streaming out though.  If the nose is dry that means the animal has serious problems and needs to be medicated.

 

As for the crap thats always on them, well the fact their only bath is when it rains may explain that.   :cool:   That is excepting show cattle of course, they get cleaned off twice a day.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      That one looks decent for the price   BUT..I want something that also supports OBDI/1.5. A lot of the prosumer-grade scanners don't have legacy support in order to keep costs low. I believe the Autel does if you go higher end with them.   For fun, I reached out to a local Snap-On rep because I was interested in the 2600. $1895 MSRP, says he can do $1595. That's still a lot, but then again, that's not a horrible discount for just asking out of the blue. Could probably do better if I was a regular buying off his truck, but I'm not.   Not sure if I mentioned but I didn't realize with USED scanners from Snap On that you need to make sure a) the serial number isn't flagged as stolen. On the newer ones, SnapOn can remotely disable the device if it's flagged in their system. And, customer service can tell you if it is, if you're thinking about buying used. B) Make sure it's paid off. If the seller still owes money to the truck or if they financed through Snap On, the device can be remotely disabled until the balance is paid. It's less clear if SnapOn will tell you if a balance is still owed; I didn't make it that far with the used model I was considering. I did read that SnapOn has no way of tracking any "truck financing" deals between the SnapOn rep and buyer, only if they financed through corporate. So there's that extra caution needed.   Still waffling on whether I go with a ~$500ish Autel/TopDon or spend bigger money. The value seems to be in the prosumer brands. I'm not giving them enough credit TBH, actual production repair shops use them daily BUT I'm still allergic to certain kinds of underdog products trying to unseat American companies with solid reputations. SnapOn's scanner isn't wholly made in the US, but it is assembled here and they have US support and probably the most proven/ robust legacy support.   Something to think about. Value, or principles? There's a $1k difference.

      Winter Returned

      By Atlas · Posted

      I'm thankful to live where we don't have extreme weather. We might all be blown to smithereens when Mt. Rainier goes, but 80 is warm enough in the summer and I can generally count the number of hard freezes in the winter on one hand. The cars here don't rust and they don't get sun-baked, either.   We have finished off many of our average 52 days of "clear/sunny" weather, though. Sunsets are coming earlier, the nights are a little cooler. It's right around the first week of September when we get our first warning that summer is coming to a close with overcast skies and the start of "hoodie weather" temperatures during the cooler parts of the day. By October, it's usually time to ditch the shorts. By November, it's mostly raining.

      My point was: If what you are doing works, keep doing it:   But, I will have a talk with AI to make sure their info is more accurate going forward.
