You can put pigs in a cell with 8 inch thick stainless steel walls and they will still find a way to get out. I won't have any more of the critters around my place. I would just as soon have a pit full of cotton mouths to feed.

There isn't much that I think is lower than a car salesman. I have decided that I just can't buy any more new trucks. I have far more finance and numbers experience than any of the car salesmen that I ever met, but I have a real perty mouth too. They automatically think they have a live one...

I don't think that I can post my favorite quotes from Blazing Saddles on this forum. I finally found the original on DVD sometime back...the one where they don't blank out all the politically uncorrect statements.

Here in the area I hunt deer hunting has gone from great to terrible in just a few short years. The Game and Fish Commission adopted a three point rule that coincides exactly with this. For the last 6 or 7 years spikes and forks have been protected and larger bucks have been fair game. Now it...

You really need a pet anaconda or something around that place.

It cost me about three hundred dollars per acre to raise rice....that is mighty expensive forage. :shock:

$2000 is more than a lot of them lost. If you live in public housing, buy groceries with food stamps, HUD pays your utilities and the welfare system sends you your spending money then why do you need $2000? The feds are moving them to more public housing and making sure they don't miss a...

Yep. In some instances more.

You'll be lucky to anymore than break even buying all the feed. The only way to make any money with feeder pigs is to raise off thousands of them at a time. There is a lot more money in a farrowing operation if you going to be operating on a small scale. The average feeder pig will make you...

I'm about seventy miles from the quarry...I'll go pick up a dump truckload for $5-6 a ton and the just rent the spreader. Fuel, rent, lime and all around $12 per ton.

Try disking it. In our experience bahia will not tolerate a good disking as well as common bermuda. I don't have any idea about coastal. JB

Around here spraying is $4.50 per acre, drilling is $10 per acre + fuel, baling is usually done on a cutting-raking-baling combo-$12.00 for a 5*6 or about 10 for a 4*5. Everyone shreds there own pastures and if someone needs shredding work done it is usually so much per hour. Rates will vary...

All things remaining constant for ever dollar that a bushel of corn goes up it reduces the value of a four weight calf about $75 dollars considering a 5 to 1 feed lot effeciency.

Lightweight calves need in the neighborhood of 12-14% protein to get the best growth. I would mix about 3-400 lbs of 41% soymeal with 16-1700 lbs of this mixture. JB

I've got manure sprayed across my boots and slung up on me several times, it is a weekly ordeal nearly for someone at the local sale, but the thing that made it so sweet was that I had never seen it done to someone so deserving and had never seen it done with such precision. It was almost as if...

I received a special treat over the weekend. Our local sale barn sells hogs, goats and cattle in that respective order. Here the last few months we have been getting run over by goats. It went from being a few goats to a hundred and now it is several hundred a week. It really chaps my...

By the time I was twelve I had logged a couple thousand hours on various tractors. If a kid has enough wherewithall about them 12 isn't too young. JB

I've seen angus heifers breed as early as five months. If you have bulls running with them you will want to move them. JB
