    Reclaimed mine land

    Thanks,guys. Any idea about those areas' water arrangements? Do the cattle run to the lakes left by the mining operation, or perhaps pump water from them to a waterer? Ernibigb, do you think the Kentucky sites had a perimeter fence enclosing a few thousand acres and essentially ranged inside...

    Reclaimed mine land

    I asked this question several years ago, but perhaps more information may be available now. Does anyone here have experience converting reclaimed coal mine land to pasture? This is unfenced land growing fescue and lots of trees, many planted locust trees. I would like to hear any experiences...

    Bully Didn't Learn

    Some smaller bullies think they score points picking on the big kid in the class. I had to deal with that as a kid, and see my grandson dealing with it now. The big kid has to watch how he handles it, or he can be taken for the aggressor. I never had to have an out and out fight as a kid. I...

    Could have been an ugly situation

    I knew a man who inherited a piece of river bottom from an eccentric neighbor. It was his for his lifetime. After his death, it reverted back to the estate. He inherited it as a young man, and was almost 90 at his death. I am not sure how the lady's estate was kept open for so long, or...

    Dog saves Farmer

    Twenty years ago, an angry sow got me down, and was about to do some damage. Blue, the best heeler I ever had, came right over my chest and lit into her. She backed off. I thought the world of that dog.
