Ok, I'm from south Louisiana. I obviously know nothing of cold weather compared to some. I've traveled north for business. Enough to know I'd rather live in Louisiana. Driving in Buffalo in February was quite interesting. Driving up pike's peak in January was cool too - glad I had a 4 x 4. But...

I had an Arabian mare here, the first born on the farm; she's in her late teens, and given me many beautiful foals. One a reserve champion in the Houston (Spindeltop) Arabian show. The first day she struggled with the freezing rain. Then it hit me! Duh, she WAS a showhorse many moons ago. Went...

That's when a jenny donkey is invaluable

Monday we’re supposed to have a low of 9 or 10. This is not right. I live in Louisiana to sweat.

Gators don’t really bother you. Most “wild” gators will shoot underwater and swim away if they think you’re approaching. Gators that have been fed by people in the past are a different story though. I’ve seen them slap their tail, mad that you weren’t giving them food. I never feed gators, and...

I love fighting reds, but you better have the right equipment and your drag set right. I normally fish with at least 20 lb test, with the drag set well. I like how they run side to side or at the boat. A black drum just goes straight down. Specs don’t really fight. I do agree with you about bass...

Always cool reeling in freshwater and saltwater CB. Reds tend to travel farther in than specs. Specs like the salt, reds don’t care if they can get some grub😊

Lee, red on the “half shell” is just when you slice all the way through past the tail like you were fileting, leaving the scales on. BBQ or grill scale down, and it tastes great! Big reds can get mushy though, and can have worms...

CB, Ever seen a bass in brackish water? Last year the son in law caught this green bass on a live shrimp. I like specs and crappie the most. My son likes to fish, so we go a lot. Not many 16 year olds want to spend time with dad, so I’ll spend every dollar to be with my last in line. We’re boat...

CB, you crazy!?? I love to eat reds! Save ‘Em for me if you don’t want them, lol I doubt anyone would find my brush piles. It’s on private land, but everyone drives the levee that goes by it. The only thing you can put in that “pit” is either a Jon boat or pirouge. I can’t see anyone having a...

I’m curious how many out there have a favorite fishing hole, and what lengths you go to improve it, or protect it... I have a “pit”, a man made narrow but long lake dug when the Corps of Engineers made the levees back in the 20’s and 30’s. spent most of the winter putting Christmas trees/brush...

Congratulations on your sale prices Adam!

I always understood fancy to mean very nice looking, would make good mama cows. Above average

My daughter and son in law are building a house. The materials are 40% higher than they were one year ago. Jeez!

Looking good CB. Throw a angus bull on them, and you’ve got some great calves!
