I am not a fan of the gelbveigh (?) for a couple of reasons. First, they are not good freezer beef based on my experience. We went thru a couple that did not make the cut at a local bull test station. Meat was very lean and tough. Second and most important to me, I bought 10 red/black angus...

I think Southern Gal has hit the nail on the head. If I were there and able (in good health) I would have walked out rather than sit on a concrete bridge in the sun waiting. Now, there are a lot of hurt, elderly and children that need to be picked up, but able bodied men & women need to help...

Well darn, I thought that was one thing Mr. Carter did right. You are correct, the goverment does not have to tell us to slow down if we all would. I have limited myself to 60 mph no matter if I am in the car or hauling cows.

Why not do what Jimmy Carter did back in the 70's. Slow everybody down! Look at I95, I40, I85, I77 take your pick, get out there and set your cruise control on the speed limit, 70 mph. Folks will blow you off the road, cuss you for going to slow. The average speed I would guess to be 85 mph...

Dont forget the underdogs in the ACC, Va.Tech. GO HOKIES! Should be a super game Sunday night (VT vs NC State)

I can not find anyone to give me a straight answer as to what it will cost me. I get an in general 20% but no set figure. There are several (Farm Bureau, 1st Citizen's bank, ect..) that want the business. My thinking is it depends on the total you will receive. A 10,000 a year income for 10...

There a bad apples in every bushel. And I must agree there are both purebred and commercial breeders out there that will sell you a cull in a heartbeat. Reputation is the most difficult thing a cattleman has to earn and the easiest to trash. 20 years of culling hard and doing the right thing...

I honestly dont think the lead is in her foot.

A husband and wife along with their 9 children decided to take a day trip across town to the water park. They all got ready and walked from their apartment building down to the bus stop. As they stood their waiting for the bus they heard a tapping sound as an elderly blind man approched the bus...

.22 cal, No, No, No.... 7mm mag. Best words of advice I have ever received, "One shot, one dead dog. 2 if they are side by side". If the dog is on/in your pasture, KILL IT! then call the owner and tell him to come get it.

Thats correct, the big boobs were the deciding factor. Whats funny is this was a 4th lady from a bar down the road.

A weathy fellow was faced with a major decision. He had been dating 3 separate women for some time and was ready to marry one. So he decides to give each of the ladies $5000 as a gift and see how they react and more important what they do with the money. First lady responds with huggs and...

Aw hell, just speed up a little and see where youve been.

Farm Bureau is lobbing against this big time. They need the help of everybody in the ag business to apply pressure to those in office. One of the toughest thing in the world to do is get a group of farmers/ranchers to agree on something. This is a real threat to anyone who owns farm/ranch land...

The use of hybrid vigor is a wonderful tool but by no means a sure thing. A super cow bred to a below average bull will give you an average calf, good cow to good bull better calf and so on. Then there are the extremes, at some point in a cows production years she will produce 1 very poor and 1...
