I view it like an insurance policy. A necessary evil. IMO, baleage is expensive and has its own type waste but having the option to make baleage when the weather doesn't cooperate is better than having to rely on someone else for your hay needs.

Shot an emu once. Loading that thing in the back of the truck by myself was a chore because those wings like jumper cables catching on everything. Cleaned and cooked it. Had I known then what I know now I'd have left the thing for the buzzards .... assuming they would eat that vile tasting thing.

We hit 104F two weeks ago and this was jut the temp. The trick is to get started early and acclimate yourself as the temp rises and under no circumstances go in any place that has air conditioning becaue it will ruin you. If you do it like this its not too bad.

Trade war or not that seems to be the way things work now. The last administration gave $50 million dollars to a bunch out of Germany to build a factory about an hour from my house with promises they would create X number of jobs. This company was built less than 50 miles from an american...

I read on the internet the reason there are so many people climbing Everest is it is much cheaper than the permit to shoot an elephant which is $60,000. Who'd have thought so many people wanted to shoot elephants. :pop:

No baked beans?

Yellow fat could be from age but also from a number of other things. Yellow fat is usually a sign of carotenoids which some breeds store more readily than others so it could be the breed. Time of year also plays a part. If it were me, I would try the same thing again next year only I'd...

Yep, you done gone and screwed yourself now! What are you gonna do with all the time you're gonna free up by not having plant that cheap low cost winter grazing that you can break even with just 120 days of grazing? And what are you gonna do with all the money you would have spent on...

Good luck with it but be careful and don't plant more than you need unless you want to get in the hay business because as I'm sure you know T85 will produce a lot of hay. (this is one of many mistakes I've made) Around here many think its crap hay because its stemmy but IMO it is the best hay...

Speaking of copperheads, we don't have many here but someone was saying if you got close to a copperhead you might smell cucumbers. Sounds like BS to me but they are rare here so I don't know. Any truth in that or is it BS.

Have a friend who puts in septic tanks and he gave the inspector a motorcycle and gives him a case of Jack Daniels for Christmas each year and all his septic systems pass inspection without any trouble whatsoever even if they are not up to code.

Just keep 'em on the line as long as you can because if you hang up they'll be calling me. Just imagine you are wrestling with a 10 lb cat on an ultra-lite with 4# test. :lol:

It used to pizz me off too but they would simply call again and again. Now, like you, I enjoy their calls when I have the time. The way I see it, if time permitting, my keeping them on the phone for 10-20 minutes is keeping them from calling you or swindling some poor old lady. One might see...

I keep getting calls from telemarketers promising 0% interest on my credit card because I have such good credit history and make my payments on time - even trying to pay more each month but every time I get one of these calls they end up cussing me out after I've spent a lot of time hunting for...

No, the sign on the door said it was due to the bad weather. Granted, it was all I could do to brave my way to the door what with the six mile an hour winds. :lol2:
