Where have the fire ant gone? I keep an eye out for fire ants here on the MS Gulf Coast but haven’t killed any in the last few months. Could it be the heat plus the lack of rain? Not complaining hope they all die.

Since our honeybees seem to be on the down side in south MS, I started looking at what is pollinating around my house. I did see a bee this AM but most pollinators appear to be small bumble bees. Done some reading and found they might just be mason bees. After reading, I decided to build some...

Met a fellow in St. Augustine, TX down around the Sabine River many moons ago that used curdogs to work cattle and hogs. Very interesting gent. He made a living rounding up hard to handle stock. I sold a blackmouth cur to a fellow in Florida that said he was going to train him to work cattle...

My last to hit the ground and wouldn't you know it, another crazy heifer. When I found them the calf was following the other calves looking for mamma and mamma was all over the pasture looking for babby. When I finally got them together mamma insisted that was not her calf. I remembered reading...

I hear and read a lot about the current oil prices and what should be done about it. The latest, that has me scratching my head, is that the Gov't should not allow big oil to export oil because that somehow is causing prices at home to continue to rise even though there is no crude shortage. I...

I was talking to two people who should know about butchering a five or six year old bull for hamburger. They said that it was against the law to butcher a bull for human consumption that was older than 30 months. What's the facts. Thanks

New milestone for an old new cowboy. As usual it all happens at once. Had to make an unexpected trip to move some calves at three PM. As I arrived at the catch pen our last heifer was in labor. Tips of toes hanging out. As my son Lance arrived it was up to the knees and 45 minutes later. Heifer...

I was out doing my afternoon rounds in the calving pasture and I notices a three week old calf sucking. What got my attention was the cow's back utter was squirting milk like a water gun. It did that nonstop for about 3 or 4 minutes. In the mean time the calf was going back and forth on the...
