    Re-Name Something And It Goes Away

    I guess the real point I was trying to make, and poorly I may add, is that renaming something doesn't change what it is. We do it everyday in this world. We can rename cow poo to roses, but I don't think we will start filling vases with it and putting it in the center of the dining room table...

    Re-Name Something And It Goes Away

    I can see that everything I said got taken completely wrong. My point was that the way we were all raised in the fifties and sixties, everything that was common, is now completely incorrect. From our parents, our schools, our leaders at the time. It is all now completely not allowed...

    Re-Name Something And It Goes Away

    It's just like cripples. They don't exist anymore. Now they're handicapped. No more retards, either. Bunch of whinny crybabies! If the crippled retards had to limp out to the far end of the Wal Mart parking lot, it might do them some good! How politically incorrect was that?!!!

    Angus temperment

    I think it's like people, there are crazies of all colors, religions, denominations, etc! And, by the same token, I think there are good ones of all of the above. I currently have two Black Angus bulls. One is a complete nut job, and will be leaving this fall. The other is the most gentle...

    allison trannies

    Mine's a '02 with the 8.1 and the 5 speed Allison. Passes anything but the gas station! Empty, not pulling a trailer, I get about 9 to 9.5mpg. Loaded, pulling either the flatbed loaded with hay, or the cattle trailer loaded, I don't even want to know! Of course the proper application of the...

    Tractor Brands

    The first time I walked into the shop at the tractor dealership, and all the tractors split in half were there for hydrostat transmission problems....I got one without it! Scared me!

    Too much excitement!/It figures!

    Yep, as soon as he regains the weight he lost running with the wild bunch next door, on their desert of a pasture, he will get to take one last ride!

    Too much excitement!/It figures!

    About two months ago, I bought a young bull at the local auction. He promptly jumped every fence in the area and took a scenic 5 mile run that night. He ended up at the only area neighbor that wouldn't let anyone set foot on their place. He would call when he got him caught, he said. I was...

    Flat Tire Cheap Emergency Fix

    I did find a great flat fixing idea that didn't work once! My mother had an old riding lawn mower and one of the front tires had so much fix a flat in it, it was pathetic. When I went to reach for the fix a flat can, I noticed a can of spray foam insulation beside it. Well, a light bulb went...

    Lawnmower

    On most of my grass cutting devices, I got lazy and found another way! I just sharpen the blades on the machine. Even the bush hog! I just raise it up, put jack stands under it, crawl under it with an angle grinder, and sharpen away! On the lawn mower, I do nearly the same thing only instead...

    Round bale questions

    It all depends on your climate. Here in southwest Arkansas, where we have relatively mild winters, depending on whether it was a drought year or not, and a thousand other factors I'm not even sure I'm aware of, I plan on putting between 4 to 5, 4 x 5 bales per head in the barn for the winter...

    single or dually ?

    A dually will take all the drama usually associated with pulling a trailer away! Far fewer white knuckle trips!

    Tragedy in Arkansas

    My farm is about 30 miles from the campground. As a teen, it was an area where all us kids would go four wheeling through. The end of the park turned into log roads. They went for miles and miles. Great little area. Never saw the water over knee deep in the park area. Totally unbelievable...

    Come Along or Yellow Wire Stretcher

    I've got one like danl mentioned. Was my grandfathers. Still works perfectly. Has a cam lock type feature that is great for barbed wire. Just a flick of the thumb to lock it onto the wire or off of it. Probably has 30 feet of rope in it, so even on long runs you can get the slack out...

    salt licks....what to do with them??

    What I did is I put a very large post in the ground, cut off just short of waist high, put sides on it from scraps of 2 x 6's. Block sits up at a nice comfortable height. My dad put our first one like this in about 1970, and it is still in use. I had a brainstorm a while back about drilling a...

    How to feed only cows?

    Well, the old mare that's doing this probably only has another 8 or 10 years left in her....guess I'll outlive her and the problem will be solved!

    How to feed only cows?

    Don't think I hadn't had some of them ideas! Wonder if she would believe the horses were abducted by aliens?!!!

    How to feed only cows?

    All valid points.....but nothing I can currently implement! To get rid of the horses....I would be one woman short! And I really need my gate opener! Not to mention the good cookin'! The low hot wire won't work because the one horse has learned to get down on her knees and crawl under...
