I am not as negative as your post makes you appear. Our parents went through heck in the war and some of them probably had the same thoughts. There will be tough times ahead for every generation. But in the end humanity has been here for a long time and is a personal belief that we will be here...

The body may age, but the mind does not have to. Bez?

lukem86 While I am not a proponent of unrolling bales, I had a chat today with a person who does unroll some bales - he runs on the cheap and seems to always have a buck in his pocket. He told me he drives a pipe in the middle and pulls it with his truck. Seems like a bit of extra work but...

JDF When I read your comments and place them with the location you advertise - your comments make sense. Our feed season is a fair bit longer, and we tend to feed once a week on frozen ground. And starting a tractor in minus 30 and 40 weather is not always fun as I am sure you know. Our round...

No you are not nuts. In fact rotational grazing for an operator with limited grass is an excellent idea. It does involve some extra work and it does involve some extra planning and of course there is an additional expense. Perhaps this is the issue in his mind? The expense may / may not...

How does one respond to this? Sometimes writings are so easily taken the wrong way. So your immediate response will be to use Buz instead if Bez? - and then use the four dollar words - setting the tone right away. My first post did not even go to you. You responded to it with sarcaasm. My...

I think you need to find a new and perhaps more reputable outfit to deal with. I buy my supplements - salt and custom mixed minerals only at a local mill. They do my grinding when I need it. They also provide me with most of my veterinarian needs - drugs, syringes, needles, calf meds and so...

I do not buy anything unless necessary. Feed company I deal with sends out a rep to do the work. Any supplements I need - I buy from that company. Testing and travel is free. Bez?

No vote from me - but - watched an old Bonanza yesterday. Hoss sure could ride a horse - real smooth. Me, I am a Festus! :D Bez?

Well, I have to admit I was completely turned off of hunters - until I met Marcel. We went through pure heck for a few years - and I got a rep as a real bad @ss with a lot of hunters. Marcel and his boy - actually young man now - own 50 acres that borders us now - so they have quite a chunk of...

I used to have the same problem - I do not know your situation, but here is how wife and I solved our's. A fellow about 55 years of age or so showed up one day in the driveway while I was doing my favourite (not) job of greasing a fairly major piece of equipment. He introduced himself and asked...

With you on this. I have never run one out for a cow - waste of time - they tramp the hay and bed on it. Bez?

Lots of stories and lots of thoughts. But in the end it usually boils down to one thing. Cash money. For any kid - male or female to get into farming - for anything other than a hobby - it takes more money than most will ever have. Can it be done? Yes - but the fact that it becomes almost...

:D In response to the thread title: Utah for two more weeks! Bez?
