Where's my head at today . . . nearby, I'm butchering apples to dehdryate. One load done; another on the way. Not far, a fam member will have some major surgery in a week or so and I'll be travelling to be a helper with that for a few days. Far away, Canada, a lady and her fam I have soooo much...

Don't think that question has anything to do w/ cattle, and not anyone else's business. Maybe a scam message? And by the way . . . I'm still here, still alive, with only a few beef steers and no production cattle, retired, sold the farm to the son, looking forward to some travel in the...

Hi, CTB folks. I do check in to see what you have to say now and then, but w/out cattle, I don't have much to contribute. I do miss the cattle -- hugely -- but they are well-taken care of nearby and I can pretty much have as much interaction as I want to with them. I choose to have little, as...

. . . . I hear you've got some fire activity that's probably not too far from you. Are you okay? Kathie

Not even sure where to start w/ this. 30 days into retirement, there has been so much going on, plus change, that I'm pretty much dizzy. Spent 1st week with a brother in Oregon, who's going through a nasty divorce, and just trying to be what help I could -- like cleaning out fridge, freezer...

Haven't been on much lately. Love you all, but don't need as much help as I used to, and not as much time to chat -- some of you I talk to on FB. ANYWAY . . . . I retired today!! 40 years in the legal field is long enough. I am happy to wake up, not having someone unahppy w/ me every day...

Science/biology/vet question for the day: There's a VERY nice British White bull in Wales; some of us here in the USA have been anxiously waiting for his semen to become available. And apparently, it's now available, but not in North or South America. Just wondered if anyone else has...

There are several of us out here in the Pac NW thinking about buying some cattle from E. Texas. Near as I can figure, that's just over 2,300 miles and over 30 hrs., from there (near our friend Caustic) to approx. 100 miles east of Seattle, with a couple possible routes on major freeways. When...

This bunch of elk starts wintering on a neighbor's property along the river every Fall. They cause a lot of damage to local hay fields, hay barns, and fences. The state wildlife dept.'s plan for many years is that -0- elk should be in this area, but that one neighbor has pretty much protected...

I'd be curious to know what some of you, retired and on medicare, are doing with the upcoming changes in many supplemental health care plans for 2017. We may need to make some changes to hubby's, and I want real comparisons vs. visiting 20 different insurer sites. Thank you.

Always have deer on the place, but tis the season where they're thick -- next it'll be elk. We've got a hot wire over the top of our woven wire, and a couple times a week we need to go put it back up because some wild critter has taken it down jumping the fence. I was wondering if putting a...

I'm so proud of my eldest grandchild, Colby. All of his near 24 years he's been a great kid -- smart, compassionate, witty, athletic, high-achiever. From the time he could walk, Colby wanted to be camping, hiking, fishing, going along on the hunting trips. When he got older, he added skiiing...

The Sims family will sell 30+ head of reg'd British White cattle at the Salem, MO auction on 9/24/16. A dozen or so will have calves at side; the others are exposed. These cows are reg'd w/ American British White Park Cattle Assoc. -- they might be x-reg'd with the "other" registry, too. Not...

Thinking ahead to Christmas, and tis the season to be doing stuff w/ produce in the garden. Seeking a couple easy recipes for pepper jelly with a bit of zip to it -- not jelly that tastes like bell pepper, but a little sweet and a little sparky. Will probably do them in 4-oz. jars -- just...

Your answer will be alot shorter than my question! We separated our too-active bull calves from our bunch when we vacc'd on June 2; the bulls morphed to steers on June 15; we lute'd 2 young heifers on June 23 (bulls/steers have been/still are separated since June 2). I need to draw blood for...

I love my nieces and nephews -- the millenials -- but am sometimes so frustrated with them! Really, I don't think of myself as white & privileged! I'll grant that I don't have many black Americans in my area, but I'm not one of those afraid to extend a hand in friendship or help or community...

I can't remember which of you that is, but I wanta visit with you. Please message me. Thx!

Stuart Anderson, founder of Stuart Anderson's Black Angus Steakhouse chains, passed this week. He raised his cattle right up over the river from us in KIttitas County. We can see that ground from our place. The elk that run from our place over the river -- they go up there. It is now...

This question probably isn't for those of you with working dogs . . . for those of you that may (also) have the little yippie-yappies/small breeds. So, don't ya'll be laugh'n at me about my issue! 3 years ago, we adopted/rescued 2 siblings at 5 weeks old, from a litter of 5. Both parents...

Dad going into assisted living -- fine -- he seems ready to do that. One sibling has blocked all efforts by the rest of the 6 of us to help him get moved, look at new lease papers or the listing for his house . . . he moved a week ago into AL and we didn't even get his frk'n address until...
