    THANK YOU sstterry! Out today bushhogging with my husband. When it came time for his turn on the tractor he asked me to fetch the hand blower to clean out around the radiator. I did fetch the blower. He then raised the front end loader and wanted me to stand under it with the blower. Said it...

    Drugs for people - cost

    Carroll County, GA GCA chapter I guess my whole point on the post was: What about the middle class people who dont have health insurance? Perhaps they have health insurance but it is capped or has lifetime limits? Some dont live within range of a clinical trial or qualify. Compassionate use...

    Drugs for people - cost

    Been raining the last four days off and on. Unfortunately, shows chance of rain and/or lightning for the next nine days straight. I feel so sorry for our hay guy. He got all of our hay cut and baled. It is in the barn. But he was stressing the other evening with all these people calling wanting...

    Kayaked and fished Tallapoosa River last weekend. Above picture was taken today of the Chattahochee River. Hoping to talk husband, brother or son into kayaking and fishing it this weekend. Weather permitting.

    Drugs for people - cost

    True Grit, you do realize that a doctor writes those prescriptions for illnesses right? I have done nothing to be accused of stealing. I could have just as easily died without ever making a health insurance claim. Would that have made Blue Cross a thief? No, certainly not. They based all those...

    Time to get rid of the bull

    Mtnhunter you can get rid of that bull before he hurts someone or after. Simple choice and that easy. Once that behavior starts it does not get better. I try to NEVER turn my back on a bull and I take simple steps like putting out feed while the cattle are locked outside the gate, etc. That...

    Concrete troughs. Will last for the next 50 years plus. But...be really sure on your location. Moving ours this summer will be a PITA. Need to be moved away from pond.

    Futures

    https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/bu ... 371378002/ Note the comments about “clean meat” and the definition. Note the projections and $$$. If it is not beef it should be clearly labeled. :2cents:

    Show your calf pictures.

    Should probably direct this question to Jeanne but one of you that use Sim might know; when the calves grow up will those white markings stay the same or change? I just wondered because I know that a lot of calves change from tan/cocoa to darken to black as they shed and get older. Did not know...

    Times up not a happy bull.

    TG can you give a few pointers on what you looked for in slecting this one? I know good feet are important. BSE numbers and passing vet check. I like this one because he is long and in proportion - penis to rear hock is as good as penis to front. I ask because Friday meeting with bull breeder...

    Simmental Color Characteristics

    My two cents on putting a PB Simmental bull over Angus cows. The good: Calves were larger at birth. Calves daily gain was better. Calves at weaning and sale were an average of 75 pounds heavier. The bad: no consistency in color. Cocoa, dark brown, black, etc. Mostly brown. Result in hit at sale...
