    Fiberglass Rods

    Kencove is the only place I've seen so far that offers custom lengths.

    Bull nettle

    Pretty sure nettles sprout through both seeds and rhizomes, so there's always a chance of regrowth.

    Most Expensive Cow

    I’ve never seen a “niche” breed that didn’t make that claim. Along with easy keeping that can survive off of nothing but dirt and twigs.

    Who is feeding chicken ****?

    Thats a nice theory but not reality. Burd flu is spread from bird to bird, outside birds are no less vulnerable. Like mentioned, they could be more vulnerable because of exposure. Just because they peck off the ground means nothing.

    Use of Super Absorbent Polymers - Sodium Polyacrylate

    You should be able to find a local hay guy that doesn’t use Grazon. Though with the “soil” you have where you are, I don’t know that it would be much help. From what I know over on the SW coast, soil is just a theory, you have pure sand. No experience with the polymers, they seem more geared...

    Goat

    They’ll cling to you like a lost dog if they don’t have a companion. We started with just one that at first was scared of everyone. My youngest spent an entire day with it in a small garden building. By the end of the day that goat would have followed him to the end of the earth. She would watch...

    Goat

    We have two pet goats, a dwarf nigerian and a pygmy. They’ll stand statue still if you brush them, they love it. They make pretty darn good pets, way more personality that I ever expected.

    Ford truck update? What is it?

    Its simply trying to update the software. It needs connected to wi-fi to do so. No different than your phone needing to be connected to wi-fi for system updates.

    Who is feeding chicken ****?

    That article is 100% a hit piece against eating meat. Nothing more and nothing less. It cites one instance of avian flu in cattle, quotes an expert that says its highly unlikey it came from feeding litter, but then spends the rest of the article talking about litter being fed to cattle . With a...

    Alabama Tom

    I’m convinced turkeys are the dumbest critter ever created. There’s just no rhyme or reason for some of the stuff they do. Thats what makes them so challenging to hunt, you can never assume you know what they’ll do. But its almost always fun.

    Alabama Tom

    Tis the season. My youngest shot this one about 5:30 this afternoon. We had them in this morning but they snuck in the wrong direction.

    Goat

    Goats don’t like to be alone. They don’t care if its another goat, a cow, or a person. But they need company or they whine. Couple that with being away from her kids and she’s going to be making some noise for the next couple days.

    Burger Ques. # 2

    Honestly, for burger only the difference will be minimal and would be completely unnoticable to most.

    Red Charolais

    If you watched as closely as you claim, you’d know that its not always black calves topping the sale. Which is what you’re saying. But I certainly don’t want to argue with an expert, carry on.

    Red Charolais

    Smokes here will bring what solid blacks will, all things being equal.

    Red Charolais

    Wait, are there actually places that “discount” smokey calves?

    How can banding cause tetanus???

    You're replying to an 18 year old thread. And frankly, your tetanus advice is right on par with your "advice".

    Ground

    Grinders today are no different than 75 years ago. I think what you’re describing is just how tightly its packed.

    Thermal/night vision?

    You can get decent night vision for a lot less than a thermal, might start there. Every gun shop has a group of regular hard core coyote/hog hunters, and there are always a few that upgrade every year or so. So its worth a visit to any local shops to see what used optics they have. All the...
