Sold out, I let the packers win. First time in 55 years I own no cattle. 100 head of mommas gone. Rented the grass out to a nephew for my cost of owning it. Retired, living in Florida, playing golf. Have no idea what I'll do with acreage in Missouri, I put a trust deed on it so I can gamble...

How much more will a cow weigh the first of april when she is gonna calve,, if her 3 year old weight in first trimester is 600lbs.? She's in trouble!

80 head of 2-3 year old heifers could only average 600 lbs to fit on a pot. Really??? You're telling that's a money maker? Looks like a disaster to me!

I, personally, have never been bitten by a chigger or mosquito. My friends are beating and scratching mosquitoes and scratching chiggers, I've always wondered what it feels like. Of course, they just cuss me.

Thought it was too early for him to have calves on the ground

My DIL works for the Florida division of the CDC. A lady called, wanted to know what percentage of Chinese blood was allowed before the child was removed from public school. She was concerned her child was in danger because there were several Chinese children in the son's school!!! GS

If your gonna sell wagu calves, you gotta have an outlet for them. Your talking a 50 cent or more dock at the local sale barn. Research Circle A and see what their offering. Buying a wagu bull, and just crossing some angus will fail miserably. GS

People today that worked like I did have so many advantages with tools. The stuff I did 35 years ago doesn't have to be done now. For instance, swinging a 3lb. Hammer at a stardrill to get through a concrete wall , beating your wrist and fingers when you miss, is no longer necessary, get a...

Hardest part of a pole barn house is keeping the mice out.
