Thanks, you all, I know many of you have this "t-shirt". I just hate starting my life all over, but I do intend to come out of this a better person.

I have been off the boards for awhile. I missed you all and still check in to see what's going on.... I have moved to Houston, and left my farm and cattle behind. My marriage of 16 years broke up. My husband "moved on" before our marriage ended. Maybe I spent too much time with the cattle...

That's ok...dumping fuzzballs is a small price to pay.... :D

Good news, we were paid and will get chickens next week. We feel very fortunate, and blessed.

Organ donation (even old folks tissue can be used!) and cremation for me. A good party, "celebration of life", would be the tribute, I would like. Funerals are a big huge expense...money that could be used to spend on the living. Dead people look dead, no matter how much makeup is applied...

They picked up 550,000 pounds of chickens from us last week. Now we don't know if we will get paid next Friday. We are at risk of losing the family farm that has been in my husband's family over 150 years. My RN salary wouldn't even cover our electric bills.

I have a young cow, with her first calf who had lost an unusual amount of weight. Her calf is doing well, but the cow started to look bad. I figured she just was a hard keeper and that baby was pulling her down. About a week ago, I noticed a fist sized lump on the back of her thigh. At...

He doesn't hibernate, like a "coma". He is in a cool down state, if its too warm, his metabolism speeds up and he needs to eat. Some years I can tell the weather will get cold soon because he refuses food. I pull him out and offer him water, as a way to assess whether its time to take him...

I doubt that the antibodies were left over, but they may be from an active infection they got after weaning. But, because 2 of the 3 heifers that are positive, delivered healthy calves, they may have developed their own immunity. Somehow, those pregnancies were successful, even without...

11 oclock plus 11 hours = 10 oclock...

Remember that the test for Neospora looks for the antibodies, and a calf will carry the antibodies from it's dam...so it doesn't mean they caught the active protozoan from the cow. It is possible, the antibodies carried by the heifers allowed them to have healthy calves. One of my vets...

Ding, ding ding! You are right! Terligua scincoides intermedia. Northern blue tongue skink. For that correct answer, I will award you my first born. (She's 33 years old and might not go along.)

Why is it the gentle one's never taste as good as a mean one?

isn't that one of those extremely rare owls that shut down the timber business in Washington and Oregon? You better be careful they don't turn your farm into a national park!! 8)

some forms of E. Coli scours will cause bloody diarrhea, too. Smells terrible, too. Keep that baby well hydrated til you can see your vet.

I know what I'm fixing for supper! Yum. I just drooled on my keyboard.

Very fast delivery, good products. I use them quite a bit, and have never had a problem. All vaccines are shipped with plenty of cold packs in a styrafoam box. I have sent stuff back without any problems. They pay for the shipping on returns.

Good job BigBull! I have no doubt you would stand behind your word. Congratulations.

She sounds like a wonderful dog! I have always heard that females protect their people, and the males protect their property.

Sushi is the ONLY reason I miss living in a big city or near the coast....The only fresh fish we have around here is catfish! Here, they catch huge cats, as big as children, that have been bottom feeding in the rivers for the last 50 years, hang it in a tree, and cut off big slices to fry up...
