    @Warren Allison, if Scott can't get adequate information on the perennial peanut, I'll be happy to assist in any way possible. The perennial peanut was actually first mentioned to me by Nick with the USDA Plant Materials Center (regional) there in Americus, GA. The cross fencing is a great...

    Knowing the capabilities of the finger smasher 9000, having hands to have scars on could be reason enough to count blessings.

    Good grief! It almost appears as if you are cleaning up the aftermath of a tornado to get that stuff and volume!

    Pasture Pet Peeves

    My first thought was, "That has to be one heck of a branch and to have 10 cows standing under it at the same time is extreme in the odds the branch falling and killing the cows." Then it registered. You said CHERRY. The tree was in leaf and the cows ate the leaves - quite a lot - which is what...

    Howdy! @Ebenezer. It quite possibly could be. I know you have met and heard Dr. Silva. Did she mention the alfalfa trials when you met her?

    Interesting. Open Range laws. I didn't realize there were Open Range laws East of the Mississippi!

    Threaten the neighbor with castrating the bull. If you can't get close to the bull, use a 22.

    Thinking a bit more about what you are doing here, did I mention the possibility of incorporating perennial peanut into your Bermuda at one time? It's a bit different in its planting. It is planted from root cuttings and I am wondering/have wondered if it could actually be mixed with Bermuda...

    Bull Trying to Hurt Calf.....Little Help, Please

    Welcome! glad you found what you need. Yes, if you keep the cow and bull separated, the likelihood of the calf crossing through to where the bull is, is low, even if it can. Additionally, the bull is after the cow and the calf is just in the way, so....if the bull can't even get to the cow, the...

    My 'shop' teacher in Jr. High told a story similar to this to his class, which I was in. While he was in the Navy, one of his ship mates dropped through one of those holes between decks (had a ladder but he didn't use it) his wedding wing caught on the edge of the hole. Well, all of the sailor...

    I'm not sure about soaking in it, but if you drink enough of it, you might be able to forget about the pain for awhile. I was typing the reply above when your reply popped up @Travlr . .

    Another..."last" update.

    I don't know the variety myself, but Dr. Silva with Clemson extension likely does. She has been personally conducting trials with warm-weather alfalfa. It's quite possible she knows of a couple additional varieties that have not been released publicly as well. I will try to get in touch with...

    BBQ? 😁 I must say though, I COMPLETELY agree!

    Welcome to the age of 'climate change', or rather 'climate destabilization'.

    Good cow went dry

    :unsure: Are you sure it is the cow that is the problem? I'm wondering if it is the calf that has the issue. And then beyond that, is the issue possibly genetic which could mean either the cow or the bull, or a random mutation? This is going to require some sleuthing, or get rid of the cow...

    Pasture Pet Peeves

    I'm not so sure I am. I've been 'threatened' with being asked to write a grazing management plan for ostriches. I've been attacked by a couple emus, and I have actually written a grazing plan that did include an emu. This has been a few years ago. I still haven't seen any information on how much...

    I've got to resurrect this thread. As a conservation planner that gets to address resource concerns on a daily basis, and also be treated as if I'm a banker handing out free money (many people think that with me working for the government), the list I could add here would get pretty long. Here...

    What have you done lately that made you question your intelligence?

    Just now saw this. Ya know, with the arsenal you are amassing, you could possibly take up chain saw juggling. That could possibly be a good post to add to this thread? 😜

    T-post one, me zero

    Very, very few people have a clue why the top of T posts are painted white and the rest green. The white is a "warning strip" that, when using a post pounder, that you are near the top of the post and don't lift the pounder any higher. I have done very little actual fence building myself, but...
