    Am I improving my herd?

Tried AI and was not impressed with the results so I went looking for a bull. I found Walter, very docile, low birth...

    Work boots for women?

    I'm on the hunt for some good boots. I have exhuasted the choices I can get locally..I live in a pretty rural area. Have tried a few from TSC but they seem to be more for fashion than function!
