I drove a tractor all summer as soon as I was big enough ( about 10) for my dad mostly cutting and raking hay. Didn't get paid 1 dime but at the end of the summer just before school started, he told me how good of a help id been and took me to the gun store and bought me a Ruger 10-22. At the...

My dad has told me over and over again how much he wishes I could find a way to buy that land and that if he could he would but that he's retired and not looking to take on any debt. I'm in a situation where I have a family to take care of and other debts to pay off first and if it wont cash...

Glad you got it fence. I'm in a very similar situation. A 150 acre tract of land that sits exactly between my family land and my leased land is for sale. This property was for sale about 15 years ago and my dad made offers but dint get it done. He has always regretted not buying it. The guy...

thanks for all the replies. I think she needs a double action or thumbless revolver as well as there is no pulling the slide or jamming but i think we'll go somewhere and try out lots of things.

With all the recent posts about conceal and open carry and permitless carry, i thought that i might get afew good suggestions from some of the gun "nuts" er experts on here!!! My wife works in the home health industry and is on the road constantly and is at peoples houses alone with them. We...

I know this is an old post but I just now discovered the thumbprint feature on Pandora the other day while I was mowing the grass. LOVE IT!!! For you red dirt/ classic rock lovers, check out Cody Jinks, you wont be disappointed!!

Melking, you are absolutely right, I was pulled into an argument and hijacked the post. Mtsky, I am sorry.

For the most part, if farmers couldn't buy (subsidized) crop insurance, they wouldn't farm PERIOD. Think about it like running a business. What business would have hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of equipment (Tractors, plows, etc.)and spend tens of thousands on seed, fertilizer, fuel...

Kinda what I was thinking!!! For 5000, you could have one helluva year round lease in Texas!!!! As a matter of fact, ive never even considered leasing any of our land because it is a family deal but for 5000 for a week, I could be persuaded!!! :cowboy: :cowboy:

When I was a kid, dad always had a jersey nurse cow ( to graft orphan calves to) and we always butchered her calf. So there was always one of hers in the freezer, one on feed and one nursing her. Mind you the calves weren't straight jersey, they were half jersey, half whatever bull dad had...

Speaking of rye grass, I am considering planting some rye grass next fall for sheep and cattle grazing. I have been planting oats or wheat over the top of Klien grass and have had descent luck but the problem is that I am really packing my fields by just scratching the surface with a finish...

Heres the biggest problem with the id tags. The average calf changes ownership numerous times between weaning and slaughter. Your average rancher, at least around here, weans his calves at the sale barn and that's the last he knows about them. Then an order buyer buys them, takes them to his...

The Turkeys have made their annual voyage back to our country for the spring and summer months. They usually show up this time of year but leave in the fall. We never see them later in the year than about August or September. Why do they leave? The San Saba river is about 2 miles from our...

Aeration is out of the question. Long way to electricity for any of the 8 different tanks on our place. Round up or nitrogen not a problem. Thanks for the replys

How do I get rid of moss or algae in stock ponds or "tanks" as we call them in Texas? Ive heard you can put nitrogen in them and the moss will grow itself to death, if so, how much? What do yall do for it? It makes it difficult for my kids to fish and I spend all my time getting them...

I'm an auctioneer, I sell crop insurance and I run cows, some stockers in the fall and bale a little hay. I live in a small town in central Texas that's about as far west as you can go and still be in the Texas Hill Country and as far east as you can go and not be in West Texas

It is AWESOME to know that country people still stick together and help one another. This past weekend 200 +- round bales and 2 trailer loads of T-post and fencing materials went to the Texas panhandle, just from San Saba county Texas.

I heard on the news that in Texas there is legislation to do away with DST. Have yall heard anything about it?

I had never been duck hunting until last year when couple of buddies and me bought a guided cast and blast down at Port O'Connor In a benefit auction that I was auctioneering. We have now gone on 2 trips with the same guide. Had a great time, none of us know a damn thing about ducks or duck...

My college room mate at Tarleton ( about 15 years ago) Took a job with ABS straight out of school and moved to the Portales New Mexico area and bred cows at dairies for several years. He's about 35 now and cant raise his right hand above his shoulder.
