gosh theyre all really good IMO. Joel Salatin ive come to think has a strange singular genius so any of his books are just great. thoughts and advice from an old cattleman was the first i read long before i thought id be farming. that one has left the biggest impression b/c it was first. the two Lasater books are great storytelling. theyre all great and quick reads get em all id say. do you have any recs?

yes i red one of her books and forgot to add to my list. the cattle handling info was great. tahnks

what should go under the shower pan? should it be finished flooring, or set pan on floor decking and finish floor to the pan?

great, thanks

started with redmonds relyte, switched to redmonds sea salt and magnesium powder. drink it everyday. added potassium chloride recently to get over an e coli GI infection

ive a brother who suffered a terrible foot injury in a skiing accident ~20 years ago. the doctors at the time called it a "roofers break" IIRC. for years after he moved well, but the last 8 years his pain has progressively worsened. as an aside, hes stubborn as hell. He works on the family farm in a blue collar laborer role and continues to wear western boots exclusively, and has rejected attempts ive made over the years to help him. i once bought him a pair of no-drop xero shoes and bought him an ATG tibialis bar. i was trying to get him anything to help him help himself. he rejected both of those attempts

are there any SLA PTs this board recommends for someone like this? he just recently expressed the pain is bad enough to seek some help. TIA

yes sir. lack of sleep is a bit of a problem. moving around like a zombie at times. yesterday was the first day with noticeable improvement. I spoke to a buddy who is an ortho, we/he deemed it unnecessary for an xray. just riding it out, no pain meds. its living!

what are some recommended manufacturers?

im trying to be a brand new cattle producer, havent even bought my first animals yet. im zeroing in on purchasing a small group to start (5 hd or less). seems that purchasing a bull for 5 hd doesnt pencil out

any producers on here have any info on this? ive never done this before so a complete noob
1 $/straw?
2 is one straw good for one cow?
3 $/hd for technician and their supplies and material, if any?
4 how to monitor animals for right time?
5 what facility needed? typical head catch and squeeze chute? other?

thanks
