    Has CT benefitted you?

    BHB - I'm sure this thread did start with the purist intent but it pretty quickly turned otherwise as the silliness that's been going on everywhere else spilled over into this thread, like many other threads. It's gone on now for several months. I personally have tired of the juvenile behavior...

    Scotch and Stogies

    Where do you guys get your cigars? Anyone buy over the internet? I got a bad habit and need to reduce expenses without cutting quality.

    Has CT benefitted you?

    Seems to me this problem has on a couple occasions cooled down for a bit of time and then one or two agitators jump in to throw some fuel on the dying embers. Cowgirl, when you respond to those couple of agitators you simply give them control over you on these forums. You allow them to put...

    Herd and Ranch Improvement / KPI

    What objective measures are you using to manage/improve your herd or ranch? What are you trying to manage with those KPI? Any stories to go with those efforts? I'm interested in all management measures but I was really struck in a different frothy thread when someone said - paraphrased -...

    Ferguson Mo

    Hook - just saw that info in another news article - edited my comment to reflect that info.

    Ferguson Mo

    An earlier post seems to imply that Ferguson is in East St. Louis. Ferguson is a north St. Louis, Missouri suburb. East St. Louis is across the river from St. Louis, MO proper in Illinois. There was at least one document released along with the name of the officer involved that said Brown...

    Drought stressed pearl millet

    If you have serious concern that the millet has high nitrate levels you could take some tissue samples to a local ag lab and have them tested to determine the actual level. Outside of maybe a $50 lab fee you'd be out your time to gather the sample and get it delivered to the lab nearest you...

    Scotch and Stogies

    Sorry HD but ... Really. :) I'm not a purist - like that splash of coke. I like to think it's sort of like black cow red cow mongrel cow.

    no calfs this yr

    DB - I'm trying to understand what you mean by 'they're bred just late'. When did you put this bull in with the cows and when did they last calve? Did your vet palp all of your cows or just the 8? If he palp'd them did he call the trimester? Unless I just didn't want my bull, I wouldn't sell...

    Is this stupid or what?

    I was there for game 6!! Bout 3 rows below and maybe 12 seats left of Nolan Ryan and the rest of the Texas ownership. Rangers had that lead and everyone around Ryan was starting to party. Ryan of course knew the game wasn't over. When it was over and they were all leaving he really looked...

    Is this stupid or what?

    Built a new home and moved in a month ago. It's in the middle of nowhere Illinois. Just got DirectTV so I can watch Cardinal games and signed up for Exede Satelite Internet. Some contractors showed up to install the sat dish for internet and immediately informed me they can only connect to...

    Scotch and Stogies

    I really like single malt Scotch and a good Stogie. Love Oban Scotch mixed with a bit of Coke. It's not quite so peaty as many of the other Scotch's I've tried. I like to pair it with a nice burning cigar. Prefer Cain Cuvee's for the most part. Anyone else enjoy Scotch and Stogies?

    Stock Market

    Yet again been a few months since this thread was active and dang if this market doesn't have the buoyancy of a styrofoam boat. Just got my 401K results for 2nd qtr and it looks good seeing positive numbers! Still I remain puckered up especially given the crazies in Ukraine and Russia and...

    4 wheel drive questions

    My understanding: When turning or travelling around a curve the front left and front right wheels each travel, or roll, a different distance. With the vehicle locked into 4WD and these wheels being 'driven', the tires push or scuff across the tread of the tire trying to travel different...
