One is bad enough but both at the same time is really rough.Nothing we can do about either one right now except pray.But it really burns me and chaps my hide seeing on the NEWS how the bail out money being spent.Top executives,CEO,Managers getting million in a bonus,while the companies are...

I am hoping and praying for an early tropical storm in the gulf bring us some much needed rain.The way things look that is the best we can hope for in South Texas.Don't know how long this drough is going to last and when it will break.But the way the past few have done,it comes too much at one...

I remeber when the Police Dept in Kendleton on Hwy 59 made the News.The officer stopped the wrong car,with 2 women.Think he got rough with them and they got scared and drove off past the county line.Then they called the Texas DPS,told them just what happen.It caused a big investigation.Think one...

When I was home in November was mowing weeds on the farm near Yoakum.Never seen it so bad as far back as I can remember.So dry almost got the tractor stuck in the sand too many times,so dry had to wear safety glasses and dust mask,long sleave shirt cause of the sting from dove weeds then top it...

I just called a realty co. about 770 ranch in Altair Texas I saw for sale months ago.It was sold at $4000 per acre.I figure someone with a big chunk of money bought it,would pay anything to get it.Sell San Antonio water or put up game fence or gravel pit or just a cattle ranch?Who knows.But...

Everything is too high price.So now the market is correcting itself.It can't support those high pricetags for any long period of time.As one realtor told me the land prices and wages need to be cut by 50%.Make things more competetive.Lucky will be the ones who got extra cash stashed away to take...

Watching the Nightly News on the current situation here in America.Then looking at the listing prices on farmes and ranches 300 to 1,000+ acres.Some asking $3000 to $4000+ per acre.Wonder if the same will happen to land prices as the housing market,price of gas and price on new pickups.They say...

My vet is a young one.I suppose he is thinking the animal will injure themselves if they get too crazy. But none I have will go flying smack into the fence,try to knock themselves out.Might try to jump but that is all.I think the hereford char cross like my neighbor just bought,need pipe pens.He...

I am sure this has been discussed a few time.I guess it is + and - on both sides.My vet just told me to stay with my wood pens,go pipe and you'll end up with something dead in your pen.Then if you get any part of your body between the animal and the pipe,it might be a serious injury and trip to...

Aaaaaahhh is the one in back an attorney,used car salesman,tax man,running for office?Few others could make the list too.Yeah Buddy it just ain't your day.A good laugh to start off the day.

I have had more than my fair share of bad luck and vet bills.I do not recall ever regreting I called a vet.Maybe that I hadn't done it sooner.I suppose it all depends on which side of that barbwire fence you are on.What each of us can go to bed at night and wake up next morning and live with.For...

Didn't get around to it today but will tomorrow.Burning candle on both ends right now got so many irons in the fire.Saw a 778 acres for sale couple weeks ago,boy would that be nice,but have to win the lotto to get that.Wouldn't need to look for pasture to lease if I had that.

Yep seems everything getting out of whack.Housing market in a slump and land prices going through the roof.Price of gas and diesel then cost of living,cost of feed keeps going up but hourly wage remains the same in small towns.As far as politics,I just soon throw rocks at those running for...

Is it almost impossible to find any grazing pasture for lease now days?Like finding a needle in a hay stack is what I am being told.The ones who got the lease are playing hardball politics money under the table to keep it like that.Just wondering if it is the same in other parts of Texas or in...

I just heard the county commisioner for this district got the boot.So maybe things will change.Mismanagement of funds and corruption,under the table are only a few words I been hearing about the whole bunch running this county.Think one of the oil company reps was at a county meeting ask where...

This is one topic that rubs me the wrong way.Like a cat getting his butt scratched with a wire brush.The land I have,only have surface rights.The mineral rights on most of this property belongs to others living maybe in River Oaks in Houston.All those wells they have drilled here in lavaca...

Yep the love of labor.Some of my fondess memories are hauling hay during summer months out of school.Most time 500 to 1000 square bales.When I bought my first property,built the fence all alone.Planting thousands of pine trees.Working so many years roughnecking both land and offshore.Burning...

Reading a lot of topics on farm topics and even hunting,different web site too.Lot of talk about saving labor,easier ways to do it,less work.When it comes to hauling hay,packing bags of feed,feeding cows,digging post holes, burning brush,do a lot of walking hunting.It all requires and demands...

Great movies like Rio Lobo and El Dorado.Loved all his western movies.Lee Marvin had a few too.Aaaahhh what was that one called something like Catbalu.Still love to watch them,like the 60's with color,Cowboys and Indians.Those were the days.

Thanks for the Bag Balm advice.After using it little over a week now.Yeah it works just fine.Found it in the grocery store in Port Hadlock.After being working outside in 30's for weeks now.God I miss those Texas summer days.
