Was on Alabama's beautiful Gulf coast recently and sampled the seafood there. Still say that bluegill and shellcracker is the best eating fish to ever lay in a platter.

I have two 1/2 Rat Terrier 1/2 Labs that are 10 months old looking for homes. Have 3 1/2 American Bulldog 1/4 each Bloodhound and Catahoula looking for homes, 8 weeks old. Located in northwest Alabama.

Picked up a little 6 week old pup on Halloween day over in Mississippi. Momma was a registered Bloodhound, pop was a Catahoula. Accidental mating. Learned since that some folks actually cross these breeds to create a hog/coon/big game dog. Anybody have experience with this cross? She's...

Thinking of planting some sweet corn in my garden this year. Any suggestions on varieties for Alabama?

Educate me please on the pros and cons of feeding range meal (CSM & salt) to brood cows. Also, any thoughts on feeding day old bread to cows? Any info is appreciated.

Bought two beautiful hibiscus that were blooming wonderfully. Something has eaten the stems about half way up the plant. Looks like it's been pruned. What gives? BTW, they're on the front porch with other plants and the other plants have no damage at all.

Bud in LA (Lower Alabama) went to be with his Saviour Jesus Christ on Thursday, May 14, 2009. He was no longer raising cattle as he and Momma had sold out last year. Please remember us in your prayers. Thank you so very much. J. T.

I went to the feed store/mill where I trade only to find them closed and the premises roped off. I went to the Co-op across the road to by my feed and asked them why the other place was closed. I was told that the owner was killed recently when he fell into the grinder. He suffered numerous...

Looks like every egg laid in the spring hatched and every poult survived. I'm seeing hens with poults on my place and all up and down the road. Anybody else seeing turkeys in y'alls neck of the woods?

I'm in the market for a new chainsaw. Looking for a medium duty model for clearing brush and felling trees up to 12-16 inches in diameter. Suggestions?

I saw on the news this morning that the University of Alabama has made the news once again. Forget the Nick Saban hype, nevermind the criminal activities of Crimson Tide football players. Big Al, the university mascot came in at # 5 on the nation's wimpiest mascot list! BTW, the Oregon Duck was # 1.

My wife and I came across an injured owl on the side of the road on Sunday. I wasn't prepared to handle him, but I wanted to do what I could so I covered his eyes with a bandana. I tried to get him into a canvas tote bag that my wife had in the truck and in the process I experienced the business...

This is one of my favorite movies. Saw it the other night. The clincher is when Bruce Dern's character has his leg broken and is trapped under his horse and hung up in the saddle, begging for his life. They get the horse to his feet, shoot a pistol in the air which send the horse galloping with...

I catch my bluegills and shellcrackers on rooster tails, beetle spins, and some of the Rebel lures. What's y'all's favorites?

I helped out with the Mobile Dairy Classroom today at the school where I teach agriscience. We were told that Alabama has 62 dairies in the state. There are none left in my county. The last one closed down 20 years ago. How about your state?

Walked the fence today with the Rat dogs in tow. Found insulation in the trees in the middle of the woods, a piece of twisted sheet metal in the pasture, some duct work, and a busted two by something with nail holes in it. Apparently the nails had been ripped out. Must have landed here early...

I made a gate latch the other day and installed it on a store bought heavy duty pipe gate on the corral. I bought two of the hinges that swing on the hinge pins. I placed them on a horizontal member of the gate (the one the chain latch is on). I ran a 5/8 inch steel rod through the hinges. I...

I stood in my barn this evening and looked around while I thought of that miraculous birth 2000 years ago. I saw the dust and the dirt and I felt the cold wind blowing in. I then watched the bull as he finished up his feed from the trough in the corral and saw the slick discharge left at the...

I used to see Shetland ponies advertised in our Farmer's Bulletin all the time. Now they are virtually gone and there are plenty of miniature horse ads. Where have all the Shetlands gone? Isn't there one registry for Shetlands and miniatures?

Some of the Auburn faithful are trash talking Cox for Saturday night's performance and questioning Coach Tuberville's decisions.. Brandon is one tough bird and Tuberville has lost five games in three years, I think. AU folks need to shut up before they're accused of being from Tuscaloosa!
