    College Station TX

    My wife took a job at the new hospital in College Station. I expect at some point I will have to follow her down there. We put her in a townhouse in College Station but if I move down we are going to have to have some acres outside of Brazo county. I don't believe I would want to try to raise...

    What time is it?

    I was somewhat surprised when one of our two young neighbor ladies, whom I always assumed were lesbian, asked me what I would like for my upcoming birthday. Speaking before my brain was completely engaged I quickly answered, "I just wanna watch!"

    Kubota RTV VS Polaris Ranger - or other options

    I just spent the week comparison shopping for a 4-6 passenger side by side and I am no closer than I started. I like the Kubota 1140 RTV and the Polaris Ranger 800 but they are comparing apples to oranges. The Kubota is a great work vehicle, is heavy built, and will still be working when the...

    Tom's Scrotum

    The pastor asked if anyone in the congregation would like to express praise for answered prayers. Suzie Smith stood and walked to the podium. She said, "I have a praise. Two months ago, my husband, Tom, had a terrible bicycle wreck and his scrotum was completely crushed. The pain was...

    JD skid steer parking brake

    I have a JD 250 skid steer loader with an electric rocker switch to release the parking brake. Lately the park brake would sometimes engage while driving, If I cycled the switch a couple times it would release and I could continue. Last week I wanted to use the pallet forks but when I started...

    1st draft of synchronized cows are calving.

    When I bred cows last spring I synchronized the heifers and early calving cows to start calving Feb. 7 with a CIDR/ Lutalyse/GNRH program. Then I synchronized the rest to 21 days later to match any repeats, after the activity died down I turned the cleanup bull out. I pulled the bulls 17 days...

    Total tax burden by state

    Here is a very good site for comparing the total tax burden in your state to living somewhere else. When we started looking for property in other states the MIL sent me this link. I will try to attach the chart but you need to go to the link to grasp the full context. @ Sorry the chart didn't...

    The Ranchers Widow

    A successful rancher died and left everything to his devoted wife. She was a very good-looking woman and determined to keep the ranch, but knew very little about ranching, so she decided to place an ad in the newspaper for a ranch hand. Two cowboys applied for the job. One was gay and the...

    How do you select replacements?

    What are some of your thoughts on this concept? The best replacement cows come out of the middle cut of heifers! A few of the long time ranchers I have been exposed to subscribe to this theory. Their thinking is the big heifers came from the best milking cows, they never had to learn how to...

    carried over grass hay

    I have a question about southeastern US grass hay stored in a barn. How much nutritional value does it lose if you carry it over to the next year? In Wyoming we feed Alfalfa, stored outside (we don't get alot of moisture) but if you don't feed it up by the end of spring its not much good. The...

    Sometimes you embarrass me

    Over the New Years weekend there was a young (man/lady) posted a question about why (his/her) show steer had gone off feed. No one really stepped up to address it but thats not the problem. After 2 or 3 days they were polite enough to write back and tell what they had done and the calf was...

    I am looking for your best cold weather calving stories. In paticular tell us your best methods for saving the ears. I have heard just get them as dry as possable and spray them with rubbing alcohol. We dry them and try to keep a pair of cut pantyhose pulled over their head to hold the ears next...
