I got the email below from my local vet last week. It caught me by surprise. They've been open on Saturday mornings forever. That came in handy for those of us who have cattle, but also have full time jobs. It was especially nice when I wanted to get cows palpated, since the sale barn is 1/4...

I just got a text from my daughter, who spent the weekend in Amarillo and is heading home. It's snowing on her.

The last dairy in Grimes county closed this summer (https://www.kbtx.com/2022/09/07/last-dairyman-grimes-county-closes-barn-doors/). It's about a mile and a half from my house. Fifty or sixty years ago it seemed like everyone in Grimes county who had 75 or so acres of land had a dairy. I...

Another discussion made me think of this, so I thought I'd start a new discussion instead of derailing that one. Here in southeast Texas we had the worst drought in my lifetime in 2011. I made 8 rolls of hay that summer, and I calculated that between the baling cost and fertilizer they cost me...

It was for the center cylinder on my old Rhino bat wing, the one that lifts the whole shredder. I called the local dealership and asked for one. They didn't have one in stock, but offered to order one for me. I said go ahead. I didn't ask the price. I got a call yesterday that it had come...

My wife and I drove to Red River, NM last week. We got there on Wednesday afternoon, and stayed until Monday morning. The weather was perfect, with it getting down into the 30's every night, and low 70's during the day, and no rain. The leaves were just starting to turn colors when we left...

I have a rent pasture on Highway 6, which is a 4-lane divided highway connecting Houston with Bryan/College Station and Waco, and carries a lot of traffic. There's something with the spot by my pasture that seems to be making people run off the road and through my fence. It's only about 40...

I got 4.6" of rain spread out over 3 days. I'll take it.

Howdy, I have a 15-year old cow that appearsto have a dislocated hip. She's able to get around, but I doubt I could get her loaded. She has a 5-month old calf. Any suggestions?

At 59 the only medication I was taking routinely was Claritin for my allergies, but I went to the doctor for my check-up about a month ago. That has now changed. She put me on daily pills for high blood pressure and high cholesterol. I don't like taking medicine every day, so I'm hoping...

Another discussion reminded me of a number of years ago when my wife's aunt and uncle bought a place in the country a few miles outside of Paige, TX. They're good people, but they'd both spent their whole lives in the city and didn't have a clue about living in the country. Shortly after...

Back this spring I was at Lowe's looking for a pole saw to trim some trees by the house. I was planning to get an electric one, but while looking I got to talking to another customer who said his son had bought a battery operated one, and it worked well. It wasn't that much more expensive than...

I hauled 38 rolls home this morning, and asked my son if he thought my grandson would like to ride in the cab while I stacked it. He'll be 3 in August, so I figured he'd be good for 4 or 5 rolls and then get bored, but he was perfectly happy standing there in the corner of the cab looking out...

There was a Toyota SUV in line in front of me this morning. No trailer, of course. The lady opened the back for the tagger and she had 2 goats in there, with some kind of welded wire panel behind the seats to keep them in the back. I bet it smells good in there.

I've been working from home since about the third week of March, and I've got to say that while I of course regret the circumstances I'm kinda liking it. I'm getting up at the same time I always did, but since I don't have that 45 minute commute I'm working by 6:00 am. My wife fixes me...

Hello, Sorry I haven't been around for a while, but I have a problem and could use some help. My electric fence isn't working. The light blinks, but it's not very bright. The cattle will push right up against it so it apparently isn't doing anything. There are two wires, knee high and waist...

The Dodgers pitcher threw a 4-pitch walk to the OPPOSING PITCHER with the bases loaded.
