Texas has stand your ground etc., but this seems like it could have been avoided.

56 more minutes and thanksgiving will be over. Most look forward to it, I’m just glad when it’s over.

Hit a deer on the way to church last night. Thankfully, didn't hurt: the grill. hood, headlight. Just the bumper. Seems like a good time to switch from the flimzy, OEM to a ranch hand, or maybe a knock off ranch hand type..........Any advice, or a supplier?

Stripped them right of the cow, yesterday morning and hauled them straight to the yard. Out of character for me, but we do what we do. They were bred to a heterozygous black bull, and I had close to half red or yellow (That's the kiss of death here). Out of the 23 calves about three were...

I've been putting in too many hours to really get the whole story,but my brother had a pretty significant death loss to some johnson grass hay. Hay was rolled back in August. Wasn't nitrates, and I thought prusic acid wasn't an issue after that long. Now, I'm worried. What else is in johnson...

I need to get from the south side of Nashville to Ky. Cant use I24, I will be pulling a large farm wagon. Do I: Get on 41, and follow it through? Drive around Nashville? What's the best route? Can I make the GPS on my phone stick to 41? I can picture it keeping routing my back to the...

I hate these things. This one wasn’t there 2 months ago

Highlight reel from this years rodeo. I’ve done went and got myself busy in my old age. Said to myself I wasn’t going to have much to do with it this year. I weakened and worked. It’s a good family gathering for our community, and 100% of the proceeds go for scholarships.

Are autumn olive leaves dangerous (when they wilt)?

I really need something to haul more rolls of hay on. There are some really nice looking 24' cotton wagons about 200 miles from here, New tires and the bearings have been gone through. Is that high? I have an anhydrous running gear, I could extend and put a wooden flat on. Lumber is high...

My drug guy dropped off a 250 cc bottle of draxxin. I hadn't seen the bill come through. He said there was a price drop, and they'd take care of the mail in rebate. When that stuff starts, theres usually a generic. Anybody know anything?

I bought a Woods 7’ cutter. It’s about 45 miles from here. It has laminated tires. Think they’d survive the trip behind my truck? (Assuming I drive slow)

Riding out a little streak of bad luck here. Had a couple hundred hay rolls stacked and tarped. Some kind of freak wind came through and and got the tarps. Were, probably up to an inch and a half of rain on untarped hay, thats stacked. Calling for a few days of sunshine. Assuming I order...

Cruising for an internet beatdown here, but places like this are for people to learn. I always vaccinate. Here's my normal protocol......When I get 2/3rd done calving, I give the first round. When I get done calving, I give those their second, and the late borns their first. Then, I catch...

We’ll see how this goes. If I didn’t have 3 teenagers, I’d drop this project. There is 6” rock, and a big truck tire. Bought a silage tarp to cover.

A cow had a calf, while I was at work. She was out in her backend. Not bad, she could get around a little. Them kind usually get up. Black buzzards ate her vulva, and and some her vagina. I just went ahead and ended it. Not sure if the calf died from them, or born dead.

I've only tarped hay once. It was used billboard tarp. Wasn't blowed away with it. Well........A hay barn was supposed to be started middle of next week, and now that's not happening. Revisited my old thread on the matter. Somebody recommended 6 mil silage plastic. Anybody got any input...

Heading out in the morning to get some spray lime. Some say it works, some say it doesn't, I'm going to pull some soil samples and see over time. My place needs the PH raised something awful. The way they're doing lime here at home, it's just not for me. You can't even get the equipment in...

Can it be drilled into an existing grass, or does it need to go in a seed bed?

Soon be time for shop lighting. In my other barns, I utilize 300 watt light bulbs. This will have 16' ceilings. Don't see gravity challenged me getting up there to change them. Toying with the Idea of 300 watt bulbs mounted about 10" up the wall. Probably put one on every other post. Not...
