Took the camper in to get the fridge checked out. Hit Walmart after. Came out to huge puddle of antifreeze under the freightliner. Looks like I'm getting a head gasket for Christmas. I called the shop I usually use. Just off the top oh his head he's saying 6 grand but will look it up to be sure. Recommend a new head because they like to crack. Add another grand. Most of the cost is labor. Book calls for over 50 hours. Sent from my LM-Q730 using Tapatalk

We bought beef from the rancher in AZ, and haven’t bought beef since we’ve been down here. I miss it.

I miss it.I will have to double check but last I knew we have a few pure bread Angus on the hoof ready to go. Fed on a wagyu feed ration. The processor we use can ship anywhere in the country. Packaged or whole sides. We fed a Holstein dairy steer on a wagyu ration. The marbling was incredible. I cant imagine what these Angus will look like on the inside.

What does a Wagyu ration consist of?Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkThere is a lot of science involved and truthfully I dont understand all of it so there is not real quick answer. But I can give you a comparison to what we use to feed "regular" beef cattle compared to wagyu. Its been a while since we had beef cattle so I am trying to remember how we did it. We got them in at 700-900 lbs and fed them out to 1300-1400 lbs. We did use growth hormones. Like little pellets you put them under the skin in their ear. Put them in with a spring loaded gun with a large needle. They were fed lots of cracked corn, corn silage, haylage and a liquid protein supplement with a certain medication in it so they dont go into heat. Basically birth control for cattle. I cant remember what that was called. The goal was to fatten them up as quickly as possible while keeping the animal healthy. That would take from 4-6 months depending on the size of the animal when we started. If the cattle we purchased came off a pasture we would have to put grass hay in the feed ration. Going straight to corn off grass will bloat them and ultimately they could die from it. If one did get sick with pneumonia or hoof rot or something there was no limit to what kids of medications we can use. We had salmonella run through the herd once. That was nasty nasty stuff. We later found out they had it when we bought them. Contracted it from a pasture fertilized with chicken manure. Wagyu is the breed of cattle we feed now. We do not own them. The wagyu ration is similar to beef but adjusted to get the best meat the breed produces. We use way less cracked corn. More silage and Ryelage lots of grass for fiber. They are hormone free no growth hormones and no so called "birth control". They grow way slower It takes 2 years to fill out on a wagyu ration. We are limited to what we can medicate them with if they get sick. This is out client https://n40beef.com/ This company is owned by a very hard working young man. He came up with this plan while in collage at the University of Nebraska Lincoln. Got a little help from from his dad and grandpa but not much. As a matter of fact his dad works for him now. We were going to get out of the cattle business and I knew he was running out of room on his place, so I jokingly said we would lease him our feed lot. He thought for a minute and said how about you finish them out for me. Our partnership grew from there. We are in our 4th year of this and growing.
Mom still owns farm ground back in Indiana, which is leased and has been for twenty years or so by a family (who bought the family farm minus her cut of acreage) who grows organic hay and beef. This ground is near Ft Wayne (NE corner of state) and the beef is processed in Terre Haute (southern western side of state). It is then sold to Hugh end restaurants across the state. He does very well for himself, he also likes everyone to know about it. Doesn’t bode well for him when he approaches me about buying Mom’s ground every few years though.
