    '08 Ford F250

    I haven't heard anything on the motor for the 150's. I'll ask my buddy and see if he knows anything. I have been hitting the diesel boards pretty hard and seems like some people are getting decent (12-15 MPG) with their 350-450's and then others are getting HORRIBLE mileage. Kinda had my...

    1/2 or 3/4 ton?

    I've gotta go with Ken and just about everyone else on this one. More power is not the issue between 1/2, 3/4, & 1 ton trucks. The extra 1,000.00 is buying you a MUCH stronger frame, sway bar system, and breaking system. Like everyone else, I've done it when I absolutely had to, but after...

    Protective Cows

    Hear, Hear Dun. Amazing how fast just sitting out with the cows and enjoying their presence can make you feel better isn't it! Maybe we could figure out a way to market it as "Nature's Prozac" or something of the kind. Like you, the older I get, the more I realize that I like most of my cows...

    cow with runny nose

    Blue tongue can & WILL effect cattle. We bought 15 4+ bred cows from a local cattle buyer. After about 4 days we had a cow abort & retain the placenta. Did not know she had aborted for about 3 days since she had done it up in the woods. By then the cow was HOT & droopy. Had the vet coming...

    How Many Have Old Anvils?

    It's about as strange as it sounds. The purists still use one of the old antique anvils which had a small hollowed out spot in the base. The basic idea is you set the anvil with the hollow spot in the ground upside down so the hollow spot is up. Then pour in a liberal amount of gunpowder, lay...

    How Many Have Old Anvils?

    We have a "peanut festival" in Jay every year just after harvest is over and there are two separate guys (one from here in the panhandle, and one from Alabama) who come down every year and have a shoot off. All the people from Pensacola are amazed and have never heard of anvil shooting, but...

    Chevy 2500 HD gas?

    Gotta agree with cfpinz on this one. I've never bought a vehicle off ebay, but I have bought a bunch of high end video equipment and you have to be VERY cautious. About 1/3 of the time things are not as they are advertised. Usually you can tell if you really talk to the sellers first. Those...

    New mother with diarreha

    Thanks for the input guys. MM, 35 cc's of twin pen it is. Talked to our vet this morning and he also seemed to feel that we are probably looking at a case of utrine infection due to possible retention of the placenta. He also suggested penn instead of the LA200 (good call MM). Guess I'll be...

    New mother with diarreha

    Thanks guys, Was starting to get squirrelly and build my own set of blinders for a minute. We separated momma & baby out from everyone except one other old cow that she always buddies around with the day we first noticed she was acting differently. I noticed she was still expelling some...

    New mother with diarreha

    Help, we have an older Brangus cow who calved approx 4 days ago. calf is doing alright other than a prize-winning case of contracted tendons on the rear legs which seems to be improving daily, but the cow has had diarrhea for the last couple of days. This afternoon I watched her and she is...

    '08 Ford F250

    Funny that you should mention that Brute! I have a buddy who is a master diesel mechanic at the local Ford place and he has been telling me the same thing since Ford started playing musical engines every year. I was considering dumping our 05 for one of the new 450's and he advised me to wait...

    Spray In Bedliner??

    I've had vehicles with both. I don't know if the two trucks I've had with Rhino liner sprayed in them were just bad application jobs or what, but I had peeling problems with both of them, especially where something heavy had been dropped in the bed. Also, as everyone else has noted, diesel...
