It was a joke. She looks like a good cow, but just not a red Angus with those horns. This is quite representative of our changing landscape near Boise. You have subdivisions right up against farms. We also have want-to-be's with mini cows in a subdivision on my way to work. The guy goes...

I'm not sure if this thread died or what, but is this a red angus? Asking for a friend.

The bold part is 100%. The military works this way. Medical works this way. Why do folks expect that they can do everything themselves with a small business? Very few people have the skills to do it all. For the part I italicized, my wife works for an innovation department of a University...

The cows we have now are better about it. For some reason the LH's we started with would mess with them really badly, but the Angus can't be bothered to think about gates. I'm glad we made the switch to Angus, on multiple levels.

This is the style of gate I have. I still can't figure out how she broke it. https://www.behlencountry.com/product/6-heavy-duty-gate-2/

This gate was supposed to be a "heavy duty" gate, at least the price tag was. Apparently they skimp on some of their parts.

The wife was feeding tonight and bumped the gate with the ATV. The carabineer that attaches the chain to the gate broke. Any ideas on how to fix it? Seems pretty shoddy to break that easily. I'm thinking about using a bolt to attach it on there, but wondered if anyone knew of anything better.

Thanks for all the replies. This is pretty frustrating b/c they're such a pain to use. Add in the awful spout and they're almost pointless.

Alright, this might sound like a dumb question to some, but help me out. My gas cans keep sucking in and I need to drill a hole to let air in while emptying. Where should I put it? Also, do you drill it or use a nail to poke a small hole?

I've never really understood the guy that had to make millions and millions, working 80+ hours a week, all so they can eat the most expensive steaks, and fly in his own plane. It comes down to power and being the big shot when he/she walks into a room, but I still don't get it-never will. That...

I have OCD, and ruminating thoughts are a killer. It's been hard to deal with it. It's funny, but I've found farming has really helped with stress, at least with things I can't control. When I have hay down, can I stop the rain? Nope, sure can't, so I can't worry too badly about it. That...

I agree. I hate pranks. They always get out of hand. There were a couple guys in my fraternity that started a little prank war. I can't remember what all happened but the chapter president had to step in with threat of expulsion to get things to stop. I was not involved.

We could go for some moisture. We haven't had much since the second week of September, when I had hay down. Halloween was a joke. I was out there in jeans, long underwear, long sleeve shirt, sweatshirt and winter coat and it was still unbearable. He's 9, so we're winding down on Halloweens...

Yeah it was windy here yesterday, too. When it does that it’s unbearable.

Here's one that looks pretty friendly. https://boise.craigslist.org/grd/d/parma-black-angus-bull/6978936785.html

It's so cold it's time to break out the water heaters. I don't remember doing it this early before. This morning it was 19 out there (according to the truck) and there was at least a 1/4" of ice at the top. I'm not ready for winter yet.

Another reason to not go to Africa.

There's one we use here to fight infection on open fractures (someone gets a finger smashed, so there's a laceration and the bone is fractured). It goes in the butt, and is allegedly thick and awful. It's supposed to be way worse than tetanus. I hope it's nothing I never experience.

I hate gender reveal parties for babies. I was born in '82, my folks didn't have any US's down. Had they, they would have known I had a cardiac issue coming down the pike. B/c of my history, we had a couple with our son. When we were in one, I knew that we were having a son, but I sat on it...

I use cloth bags when at the grocery store, have for over a decade now. My favorite one to use right now is from the Infectious Disease Control office I had to go to when my foot was infected. I like to place right out in front of the folks on the other side bagging. It's pretty funny.
