Years ago Progressive Farmer magazine tested several types of hats/caps that farmers and ranchers wear for best sun protection. The winner was a ball cap with a cloth attached that covered the ears and neck. Looked kinda like a French Foreign Legion kepi like you see in the movies. I actually...

Back to headgear, I used to wear a hat because I thought it was the cattleman thing to do, but I have gotten much more practical as I have gotten older and can't justify the cost of a fine felt hat. That money can be better spent on the farm as far as I'm concerned. Plus, I can't wear mine in...

One of our English teachers assigned The Adventures of Tom Sawyer to be read. She gave an alternative book choice if someone found Twain's work offensive. Black student chose Tom Sawyer and went home and complained to her mother about offensive language. Mother came to the school demanding to...

Gaucho weighs less, costs less and has to be replaced less often than 12 1/2 gauge wire. Less is more. In fact, I've never replaced gaucho unless it was damaged by a tree falling on it. I have some that is approaching the twenty year mark.

Bud in LA (Lower Alabama) went to be with his Saviour Jesus Christ on Thursday, May 14, 2009. He was no longer raising cattle as he and Momma had sold out last year. Please remember us in your prayers. Thank you so very much. J. T.

You big bunch of babies! Don't y'all know that this is not what PETA wants to hear.....tough cowboys and cowgirls having COMPASSION?!?

I went to the feed store/mill where I trade only to find them closed and the premises roped off. I went to the Co-op across the road to by my feed and asked them why the other place was closed. I was told that the owner was killed recently when he fell into the grinder. He suffered numerous...

Jogee, Nothing personal, but if that's you in your avatar, I hope your wife has someone else with her in that rocker on the front porch! :lol:

I honestly think fireants are Satan's creation.

I believe it was when Jerry was invited to Graceland to sing "US Male" for Elvis that he was amazed at how good looking a guy Elvis was. He said that next to Elvis he felt like he was "born wrong or something." 8)

Friday night football games, but mainly, just getting out.

Hmmmm...I'm gonna start peeing on my beard then. Cheaper than buying OFF!

Google "used railroad cars" and you'll find several sites. Trouble is, moving a railcar can run into thousands of dollars even if the initial cost of the car is reasonable.

Fences, electric, barbed, hog wire....whatever, only keep cattle in if the cattle want to stay in.

I won't ask where you put the coin!

What is a "lot lizard"?

I thought we were going to see pics of a college frat party! :D
