The forecast now for Texas is sun over our area. Only time will tell if people will swarm us…I think if there is any money to be made it will be pulling people out of the mud…

45 years of ranching and this is the game changer. Makes me laugh every time I see them. We have 2, Thing 1 and Thing 2. This is 2, he’s up because he hurt a foot, although healed now.

Husband built this fence with salvaged pipe and cable. He smoothed the ground out so I could easily mow it. I’ve been painting it. Sometimes it seems I the fence keeps getting longer. I now have half finished and the other has mostly two coats of black, I’ll get it finished tomorrow. Not...

We remembered 2014. After this drought we held our hand. We kept every heifer and held back the cull cows. We are so overstocked. Just sold a small portion of these heifers and almost broke our poker face. Hope our hand holds…..

My dream was to make a steer all steaks. Sounded impossible. But with the waygus we got and the mix with our cattle, you get just that. My daughter started her own feed lot. I bought just a side of a half waygu and it filled my freezer. Errry cut is a steak. It’s the best beef I’ve ever had...

He still thinks he's fancy. Will wean to bull pasture.

From a reliable source too. That if you live in NE Texas, you're sitting on a lithium gold mine. We've had oil wells dug on our place in several areas but was told they only got salty sludge... but apparently, thats where the lithium is.....lol First solar farm invasion, now, maybe lithium mines....

Grandkids are showing these girls.

Met a guy who sonogram preg test. Nice fella. Had 25, accumulations of all our herds pulled when we wormed and vaccinated. 5 open out of 300 cows. The others were off season due to the bad winters and summer but raised a calf that was just weaned. This was sure easier than hauling them somewhere.

Cows love it.

Simbra influence. We lost his father this last winter, his mother is simbra/angus but looks all simbra and is about 1,800 pounds. He was around 50 pounds at birth, so we decided to not cut him and see how he grows. From our fast growing bloodlines, and are always extra wide. Hated to lose that...

A week and a half ago, cow calved late in the afternoon. Things seemed ok. When i went back to check cows in this pasture, calf was exactly how i saw him the day before. We nabbed the calf and brought it to the house to inspect it. All legs worked, He though, could not put his front legs under...

We went a couple years with no speckled calves, but got these two this season. Our daughter says people are looking for painted up calves for show. Said its the new trend. These guys will grow. Out of our big sim bull pictured in my avatar.

SO I've always said the calving heifers pick cards before they start calving. We use only LBW bulls and shoot for 40 to 50 pound calves. Card 1 is, "I'll have a 150 pound calf." 2. I dont want my calf 3. I want that heifers calf and not the one coming out my butt 4. The poop calf, calving while...

When my Honda 4wheeler reached 22,000 miles, and we had a good hay year, we decided to get a new 4wheeler. I went with Honda again and upgraded to one with power steering. It was great, a new design in the reverse is terrific. The power steering comes in handy with all the hog ruts. My new ride...

I have this saying pertaining to cows. "They walk around looking for ways to die." Today, i got picture evidence.

Had a cow separate from the herd. Went out to look at her and see if i could tell what her problem was. She had 5 vultures sitting around her. She was not breathing heavy, her ears were up, no loose poop behind her, moved fine. Nowhere near death to summon buzzards, so that was werid.... After...

Going to give it a try this year. I can go through and pick out the ones i can tell now just by looking and that will save us a few test. Anyone do these blood test?

Heard that we're forecast for gorilla hail. No explanation as to what it is, but it doesn't sound good.

Pretty early to sell, but despite the drought, our calves grew well.. This was a load to be proud of.
