You better have deep pockets or a good credit source as cows are very high $$$$$$$$.

You got that right. My dad just sold 12 year old angus cows for $1750 each at the auction. They were pregnant but that's just crazy money for an animal with limited remaining life. He got a new bull so he kept some of his own heifers and sold the older cows in the herd.

That us a good price for sure. The market has been kind lately. Pained me to keep a dozen replacement heifers this year, I usually do that when the market is down.

Well finally started laying some hay down today. Will get some pics tomorrow...

Question if the belts seem like tracking looking from rear the 3 left side(track left)do I move the top roller backwards or forwards?

If the belts are tracking left (moving right would center) then bring the left side of the roller to the back of the bailer. If you need more adjustment then move the right side of roller to the front of bailer. Hope you get it lined up.

Dang sorry to hear about that & I've been reading that Vermeer rd balers don't have breakdowns.

Water(rain) for Coastal sure makes a yield difference from last yrs drought because I baled 12 acres yesterday and got 66(4x5.5) rd bales.
