I'm always cruising around the antique firearms on Gunbroker, looking more than buying. I've purchased online from Palmetto State Armory and Classic Firearms. We have a local business that does monthly online auctions that I buy and sell a lot at called The Gunrunner auctions. All the Gunrunner...

Thank you for your support TN Cattle Man. USAF AMMO! 26+ years 1991 to present. Served in 13 different countries and way too many contingencies. I have troops younger than my time in service. We as a country have been at war since before I joined, with no break ...and there's no end in sight...

I'm a classic car nut but more into classic trucks and cars than muscle cars. I'm mostly into the old ford flathead engines. Almost everyday I'm looking online and at auctions for flathead ford motors for sale. I used to be able to pick up complete motors all the time for $200 but now I hardly...

I'm small scale farmer compared to most on here and only run between 12 - 20 head of beef depending upon the calf crop and what I retain over the winter. Outside of that I'm an Air Force Ammo troop. For 25 + years I've been putting on the Air Force uniform every day and "providing the enemy the...

I have done it. Make contact with the church/charity ahead of time. The butcher I use is a USDA inspected facility and so stamped on the packaging, so its not even a thought on that subject for me. Like Dun said, grind it all into hamburger. Also, mention at check in at the processor and they...

I've posted on here last fall about processing turkeys. I found and Amish guy that did them for me for $6 a bird (plucked and bagged) but he doesn't know how long he will be doing it before the state shuts him down like they have the rest of the Amish processing. The Amish used to build the...

Your in Northern Ohio...Raccoons would be my guess and my experience. I raise turkeys and used to raise pheasants. If I don't set traps out in the spring they will clean you out and carry them off to the den. Dead chicken 100 yrds from the coop-This is the classic sign! Then when momma starts...

I don't know, I have a couple 3 goats that keep the multiflore rose in check in the pasture and for the longest time she didn't know that all goats weren't "dam goats". Every goat she seen in a book or elsewhere was a "dam goat". We went to the fair and every goat there she called a "dam goat"...

I see some of you know exactly what I'm dealing with. We've tried the switching it out with a new doll but that doesn't work, that's why I'm here looking for glue. BTW gorilla glue was the first option and it will not stick to the material. I'll try the windshield glue that just might do it.

Well I've had good luck with this forum on answering just about every other non-cattle topic so I came here for help on this one...gluing a neck on a doll baby. My soon to be 3 year old daughter has a cheap plastic or vinyl doll baby (is suspect it vinyl) that she has carried around for a...

I've never lost a turkey other than predators-this spring I did have one get breasted by some yahoo in the road. found him sliced open in the ditch with just his breast cut out. I don't think the turkeys have the problems as the boilers do. Usually after they are full grown and out free range...

Update on the turkeys...the day before loading up the turkeys for the long trip to the processor, I was in Tractor Supply buying some hog panels to make transportation cages. The lady at the register we started chatting and mentioned I was making cages to take the turkeys to a processor 50+...

Dave do you have any recommendation on a make and model that holds up well? A company a couple hours away sells the EZpluckers but I haven't read much good about them. Seems their made in China and pretty flimsy. From the posts it seems Featherman is the way to go?? The Featherman models are...

I wasn't sure about posting about turkey processing on a cattle forum but I'm glad I did now. thanks to everyone and great in put. I'm thinking about getting a plucker now after this growing season and have it available to rent out locally. I've even tossed around the idea of getting a shed...

I get the layer of fat on my turkeys too. It usually makes most of the skin inedible but boy does it add the flavor and moisture to the turkey. I just tell anyone getting turkeys off of me before they get them about the fat. You also have to tell them how to cook them cause they tend to be just...

For those that built you own, how many rubber fingers in the drum did you use?

I generally raise half a dozen turkeys for Thanksgiving and Christmas dinner for myself and my work. This year I might have went too far in with raising 25 turkeys. 19 are broad breasted bronze and 6 are Gray Slate heritage turkeys. I usually scald and pluck myself but with this many, I started...

Blue Moon is probably one of my most favorites followed by Yuengling and a variety of Sam Adams and Great Lakes. There's so many varieties out there now that I find myself trying all different kinds of beer. I hate Summer Shanty type beer that is too fruity but I did try some Not Your Fathers...

Ethan Allen is on my list that I'm considering. Also Samuel Adams, we know his brewery but he was a statesman in early American Government.

Cowboy, this has been discussed in our class a lot. My take is our Founding Fathers would be extremely disappointed in the people more so than the politicians. We the people have allowed so much of what they fought so hard to prevent from happening.
