If my cattle acted like that, I'd never be able to get anything done. Those are some tough animals!

I live in Travis county (Austin), but my ranch is in Williamson County (Georgetown).

My girlfriend is a chef and she has a set. Those things (the real ceramic knives) are expensive!! But yeah, they are great. They tend to be super sharp and hardly ever dull. The set she has has been put through two years of school and another 3 of work. The only down side, if any, is that...

I live in Austin. When I first heard of that incident I just got mad. From what I know, the man got off because he was concerned with the little girl. How many times do we hear of these idiots that hit and run. This poor guy stopped and got off. Then when his brother/cousin/friend/not sure...

I believe that if you qualify with an automatic you can carry any gun including a revolver, but if you qualify with a revolver, you can only carry a revolver. The smallest caliber you can qualify with is a .38. I did mine with a 9mm, but my concealed gun is a .38. I can shoot deadly with...

I use old telephone poles as well. The ones here in Texas are soaked and pressure treated with kreosole (I think that's the chemical) Those things last for a long, long time. I wouldn't use anything less than 6". I made that mistake. The first string of wire was fine, but every time I added...

CFPINZ, I know what you mean. My uncle farms about 10,000 acres and has always used JD tractors. He's even got some that have their own navigation system, you just point and push the button and the darn thing drives itself. So when I bought mine, I thought it would last. And the parts are so...

BullLady, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to imply that it was a done deal. A piece of land that I was eyeing just East of Georgetown is in the proposed area. That's why I said "if they have their way." I don't want to start a stampede. The entire plan needs to be approved by the feds, among many...

Nice equipment. I stay busy half the year keeping my JD 2240 in working order. Seems like I fix one thing and another breaks. I guess it's the age though, plus I got a really good deal when I bought it. Just wish it had a front end loader.

"What I see in this project is foreign owned and operated fuel depots and tollway and politicans and lobbyists linning their pockets. To top it off we, the tax payer, get to pay for it." That's for darn sure. Nova, please don't think that I disagree with you, quite the opposite. A beautiful...

While there are a great many things on these boards which I don't know much about, ocassionaly there is. I agree that the TTC is a mess and probably a wast of money right now. There just isn't enough traffic to support such an endeavor. Money would be better spent improving the roads that...

I don't want to add to the steam, but there's also some folks pushing for more rights for land owners that are forced to sell through the eminent domain laws. One of the many problems is that under current law, the state is only required to pay fair market value. What people are pushing for is...

I know this is an old post, but I couldn't resist. For once there's a use for some of the knowledge that I have and the resources available to me. http://www.fas.usda.gov/info/agexporter ... hides.html Texas used to have an agency who was soley responsible for inspecting hides.

TxWalt, I'm not 100 percent certain, but I believe that in Texas you can make it for personal consumption. One of my best friends makes beer year round, another makes wine by the gallons. You would need a license to sell though. I can try and check with TABC if you want. I have some contacts...
