    Perhaps This Is Why I seldom Post Any More

I truly wish all members the best. I will simply sit back and watch and read. I might make the occaisional...

    We Are Back And Farm Is Sold - Lots of Pics On Flicker

    Thought I would start a new thread on our plans. As most folks know we are selling the farm and leaving for the west. The farm is now sold and we did a long trip out west to find a few spots that we thought might be nice to re-locate to. In the end we cannot re-locate until I find work. I...

    Selling Out - Planning to Move West.

    Wife and I have decided to get out of here. We are in in the east and want to return to our home in the west. We drove out west last September and realized that we were in the wrong part of the world. So we have sold all the equipment and animals and the land is next. We are looking for...

    From Our Trip To British Columbia

    Hi all, We are just back from a three week driving trip out to the west to visit family and Veterans I served with in a few (not so) luxurious spots around the world. We put on about 12,000 kilometers / 7,500 miles on the drive. While we were in British Columbia, the wife went out on to...

    Spray Or Graze It Hard? BSE Lesson

    Science and money - I am through listening to the big money boys and I am through spending it. BSE has turned me into a cheap skate - and it has had some benefits. We have one 150 acre pasture that was over run with willow and some type of blue flowered weed. Local boys wanted a ton of money...

    Ever try This?

    Experiment time. We are now doing our own very non-scientific work. Today my neighbour came over for a visit. He brought his all singing and dancing no till drill and a bunch of corn seed he had left over from this planting season. Every different variety under the sun. We have a small 5 acre...

    Fatten Up The Dogs!!

    OK - before anyone asks - Yes! These animals have been seen by a vet - twice in fact. The last time only a week ago. De-wormed regularly / diet changed as per discussion with vet AND feed nutritionist who specializes in cattle, but has been kind enough to put me in touch with their small...

    Iraq - First Victoria Cross Since 1982

    The VC is the highest British honour. Those of you who have served will appreciate the citation when you read it It is seldom issued, and when it is, it is extremely rare to be awarded to a serving member who survived the situation. Private Beharry is the first to have the VC awarded since...

    Old Tyme Recipies

    I never was a very original kind of guy. I tend to "borrow" all of my good ideas from others - and unfortunately some of my rather poor ones as well. So while I was on Ranchers Net this morning I happened across a thread on 17'th century recipies. Over to the site I went - once you get through...

    End Of Comment

    Until recently I have not really paid much attention to the messages people put at the end of their posts. Perhaps I am just slow or dimwitted - or just not the observant type. But lately I have been reading them. The two I like the best belong to the folks below. In fact I read them on a...

    Ever Do This?

    Well, I had a couple of visitors last week and the semi-permanent guests arrived to stay a couple of days later. As tough as it is here, one of my neighbours is in worse shape. He and his wife came to us and asked us to take in their cattle. They culled out the worst of them and sold them for...

    Unusual Practises?

    Well, I do not usually start a topic, but something happened this morning that made me wonder a bit. Despite living in a rather populated part of the world, we live in an isolated piece - the lane is about 1/4 mile long, and there are no houses to be seen from any part of our land. Because we...
