    Drought and Depression

    One is bad enough but both at the same time is really rough.Nothing we can do about either one right now except pray.But it really burns me and chaps my hide seeing on the NEWS how the bail out money being spent.Top executives,CEO,Managers getting million in a bonus,while the companies are...

    rain?!!

    I am hoping and praying for an early tropical storm in the gulf bring us some much needed rain.The way things look that is the best we can hope for in South Texas.Don't know how long this drough is going to last and when it will break.But the way the past few have done,it comes too much at one...

    If your daughter brought this home...

    Don't drive through Rush Springs, OK

    I remeber when the Police Dept in Kendleton on Hwy 59 made the News.The officer stopped the wrong car,with 2 women.Think he got rough with them and they got scared and drove off past the county line.Then they called the Texas DPS,told them just what happen.It caused a big investigation.Think one...

    Land Prices 2009?

    I just called a realty co. about 770 ranch in Altair Texas I saw for sale months ago.It was sold at $4000 per acre.I figure someone with a big chunk of money bought it,would pay anything to get it.Sell San Antonio water or put up game fence or gravel pit or just a cattle ranch?Who knows.But...

    Land Prices 2009?

    Everything is too high price.So now the market is correcting itself.It can't support those high pricetags for any long period of time.As one realtor told me the land prices and wages need to be cut by 50%.Make things more competetive.Lucky will be the ones who got extra cash stashed away to take...

    Pipe Pens vs Wood Pens

    My vet is a young one.I suppose he is thinking the animal will injure themselves if they get too crazy. But none I have will go flying smack into the fence,try to knock themselves out.Might try to jump but that is all.I think the hereford char cross like my neighbor just bought,need pipe pens.He...

    Pipe Pens vs Wood Pens

    I am sure this has been discussed a few time.I guess it is + and - on both sides.My vet just told me to stay with my wood pens,go pipe and you'll end up with something dead in your pen.Then if you get any part of your body between the animal and the pipe,it might be a serious injury and trip to...

    Black & White Speckle Brahman

    The red speckle gyr heifer I just got has little finger size milkers on her.I was told the gyr are used for milk cows in some other countries,why some have bigger udders.Yeah I will finally agree the wild crazy nut cases need to go to the sales barn,no place for them in my herd.As you said never...
