    Hey, Dun

    If you have cable TV take a little break from ranching today and at 1:00 central time watch one of your favorite movies on Turner Classic Movies. Hint: it stars Lee Marvin and Jean Moreau. ;-)

    Time for your weekly Craig'sList chuckle

    What a deal -- and just in time to sire some calves to be born in the blazing hot Texas summer. :) I really wonder what these bozos are thinking when they post those ads with such sorry looking specimens. Maybe they figure PT Barnum was right. These two bulls are in Bastrop, Tx., but I dare...

    Would almost be funny if it wasn't so pathetic!

    Maybe he meant to have a period after the first zero. :lol: http://houston.craigslist.org/grd/1333644144.html

    Texans -- turnips

    Any of you Texans (or Okies or CA's :) ) plant turnips for cattle grazing in the fall and winter? If so, can you provide the name and phone number of your seed source? Which variety do you plant? And about how many pounds per acre would you plant, say if you were to boadcast on lightly...

    Hey Caustic B., you better hurry on over

    Have a look at this real fine Angus "bull" at a giveaway price. And just think of all those CAB premiums you'll get on your crossbred calves. :D http://houston.craigslist.org/grd/1298998822.html On second thought, maybe you should take your .44 over to his place and put that poor beast out...

    Polishing bull or cow horns

    If any of you have polished up some horns what were your methods? I assume that a person could start with some rough sandpaper to get all the cracks, chips & flaking under control and then gradually use finer sandpaper and lastly steel wool -- is that about right? And for the polishing...

    Pickled Okra Recipes Needed

    I usually buy my yearly supply of pickled okra at church picnics, etc. but this year I want to put up some myself. A Google search yielded recipes that vary pretty widely as to the vinegar-water-salt blend, use of dill seed vs. dill weed vs. mustard seed, type of peppers used, etc. I've tried...

    Dewberries

    Well, I think I've seen it all now. Had an excellent crop of wild dewberries this year on my place. I guess pasture mismanagement is not all bad! (for you folks up north, "dewberries" are a small, native berry that most closely resembles blackberries) Anyway, while roaming near the woods I...

    Finally a Beagle

    I see that after all these many years a beagle finally won best of show at the Westminster show. Long overdue. Apparently this little guy was really barking and baying up a storm and was also the crowd favorite. Do any of you folks still hunt cottontails with beagles these days?

    Caustic Burno is a demanding cattleman.

    I hear tell he culled this bull. Old CB thought the bull looked a little too sissified, not masculine enough and needed more crest. Made a lot of Wolf brand chili out of him. Here's a picture http://www.strangezoo.com/content/item/128118.html

    Anybody up for some western movie trivia?

    Like many of you I'm also a big fan of western movies and the recent topic got me to thinking about this and recalling some memorable characters. Following is a list of movie character names -- can you remember the name of the movie and the actual name of the actor that played the listed...

    Greenbriar

    Has anybody had any good results with foliar spraying on greenbriar infestations? If so, what did you use and at what percentage of the herbicide to the water & surfacant mixture? I seem to recall somebody posting about a year ago of having good results, possibly with Surmount or Pastureguard...

    Possible new income tax deduction

    FWIW, here’s something for some of you folks to consider: If you actually have reportable taxable income from your cattle ranching operations (or from farming in general) you should consider the applicability of the new “Domestic Production Activities Deduction” of Internal Revenue Code Section...

    TSC stock price

    Anybody here follow the TSC stock? Had an incredible day (today) when most stocks were down. Closed up $11.24 and blew away the 52 week high, and I'm pretty sure it closed at an all time high. Heck of a turnaround from about 5 years ago when it was realy sucking air. Probably will give...

    Ladies' Drinks

    Don't drink fancy ladies or men's drinks. And I don't eat SPAM, which is what your post is. Does any Moderator agree with me on this, or on Carrot's spamming post over on the Horse boards earlier today?

    Wagyu beef - Gary Yamamoto

    Here's a recent article about Gary Yamamoto Wagyu beef that I found to be a somewhat interesting read and perhaps some of you might find it interesting as well --- written by a food critic at one of the Houston rags: http://www.houstonpress.com/Issues/2005 ... ture2.html
