Good Afternoon,
Do U remember a thread that we had going about Ram pumps?
Well I finally got that info U asked about:
0.6 x Q x F/E = D

Q is the available drive flow in gallons per minute, F is the fall in feet from the water source to the ram, E is the elevation from the ram to the water outlet, and D is the flow rate of the delivery water in gallons per minute. 0.6 is an efficiency factor and will differ somewhat between various ram pumps. For instance, if 12 gallons per minute is available to operate a ram pump (D), the pump is placed 6 feet below the water source (F), and the water will be pumped up an elevation of 20 feet to the outlet point (E), the amount of water that may be pumped with an appropriately-sized ram pump is

0.6 x 12 gpm x 6 ft / 20 ft = 2.16 gpm

The same pump with the same drive flow will provide less flow if the water is to be pumped up a higher elevation. For instance, using the data in the previous example but increasing the elevation lift to 40 feet (E):

0.6 x 12 gpm x 6 ft / 40 ft = 1.08 gpm
Hope that helps
Alan

hi again,

yeah, "to till" is verbal for tillage, and that's correct, as far as I know.
I can't wait...I'm kinda rusty with the horse plowing, and that's both an art & a science. Takes a lotta pull-power. And adjustment.
Discing is easier, and you can be a lot less precise. Harrowing and cultivating after that is easy, too. Just repetitious...but then, horses LOVE repetition.
Can't WAIT for Spring! Da smell of da warming soil...! Doin' the New Dirt Dance in my mind already...:-0

A scripted tort? Hmmm. Well, I guess I see your point, which i'm thinking is that all discussion of any subject, even down to individual likes and dislikes, IS relevant to getting to know one another, pre-emptively resolve issues, and thereby create community...right?
If so, then, yeah, I guess you're right. I suppose having already dealt with this topic at some length, both with others here and on another list, I'm just gettin' short with it. Sorry, I don't mean to be curt or rude to you, bro. Just getting antsy, let's cut to the chase, let those that agree get it on and get together and start DOIN' THE WORK...now!

You could say that I'm too damn old to be this damn impatient, to mis-quote a country song...and you're probably right again. :-)

BTW---equating eating beef with fast food and obesity is kinda bogus in a way. I mean, yeah, the way most of us Americans eat, you're right...big dollops of meat, fried food an' all. But one COULD use it like the rest of the world does more often than not (or like WE did back in the colonial days), and just eat it infrequently, more as an addition or flavoring to a starch like rice, potatoes, or noodles, for example.
OTOH...IF we ate mostly vegetarian, and only occasionally used animal protein, such as butter or cheese, with no animal flesh at all...we'd probably meet our nutritional needs 100%. Maybe someday before too far off, I'll get there. I'd feel better, lighter, and there'd be no more killing-karma...directly, at least.
I'll have to cross the quitting-coffee bridge before I work on that one, though. At least, I think I'd prefer to.

Thank you...tomorrow we're gonna groom 'em, and give 'em a li'l exercise whilst we still have some snow on the ground, pulling the sleigh around. With bells on! :-)

I'm not clear as to why you consider this discussion important enough to be on a blog. With everything else going on now?

Isn't the hour getting kinda late to be worrying over stuff like this, and splitting philosophical hairs over how to identify cattle, or even whether or not to raise them , or eat meat, etc.?

We are already in the process of collapse, and there is no point debating fine points like that. Either a person has reached a conclusion about the subject, or not. Theiur answers will come when they are wanted, on that topic.
The remaining questions are concerning how do we survive this; what kind of world do we want after the dust settles; what resources do we have at present; and what resources, talent and HOPE can we acquire now, while there is still a little time? How can we come together?
To paraphrase that for the benefit of this audience, how can we form good, enjoyable, useful COMMUNITIES to move forward with, from this point on?

But to answer your question, my friend...yes, if you wish, by all means post this material as a blog if you'd like,: I don't care, and certainly have no objections, if you do.

Ah, Teebyrd, now I see better what you were getting at. it may seem wierd to name an animal which you know may well end up in your freezer, or more likely in our case, sold for someone else's use or at auction.
But consider that since we occasionally have to refer to the animal in reference to daily activities, medical condition, etc....it has to be designated somehow. Numbers are usually more difficult to commit to memory than names are. And being a Scottish Highland, he's distinctive enough to be easily recognizable, so what since would a number tag make anyway? So there you have it; a matter of convenient utility. Besides, we're adults. Just because we give "it" a name doesn't mean we will necessarily treat it as a pet.

Sorry 'bout the delay...very busy day!

So if you eat meat (and I assume dairy products, too?) and wear leather, why are you putting down "Betsy-raisers"?
Especially on a small-scale, diversified farm like this where we at least try to consider other factors besides just making a profit?
Care to share your thinking with me? I'm puzzled.
At 3:13pm on February 14, 2009, Ben Corson said…
No offense about my being a "Betsy-raiser", being not to your liking. I realize there's karma involved but there's karma involved in dairying and in raising cattle...unavoidable unless stopping the activity completely. There's also karma involved in letting people go hungry, land unfertilized, and bills unpaid. So, you're vegan and wear plastic shoes?

Hey, TeeBryd,

Good to hear from ya! Actually, the critter being named is a bull calf, not a horse. (THAT'll come later---about late April or may...:-)
