We'll being hoping for the best. Being raised and living on a barrier island on the Texas Coast most of my life, I can certainly relate. We could have certainly had a visit from either of those storms had it not been for this "AMAZING COLD FRONT" that came through last night. It bounced to...

Just wanted to say it's nice to be back on line. Between moving to our ranch, my wife's honey-do lists and this darn computer being out of whack, I've really missed these boards. By the way, it's a whole lot easier taking care of the cattle when you live here than just on weekends. Looking...

Jake, Someone told me the other day that you can now get relatively cheap little thow away digital cameras that the pictures are provided to you for computer format. I guess it's like the little throw away 35mm cameras you get a Wal-marts but you get the pictures on a floppy or some kind of...

I like to mow our pastures so I can't hear my wife telling me all of the other things she wants me to do.

With all of the new grass, we also have a chigger rich environment in the front yard.

I totally agree Dun, we bought a bag the other day and my son and I were amazed how easy they worked. I told my son I only wished we would have invented them first. We bought ours at our local lumber company.

The old gentleman is going to have to say what percentage he thinks is going to work and then you will have to decide if you can live with it. Personally, I have to agree with Craig-Tx about the contract and some consideration up front. I also think Arnold has the right idea about selling off...

After a great deal of thought about the right ATV for our needs, I've decided to purchase a 4 wheeler. I understand everyone has positive opinions about "the Kawasaki Mules" and other cart type vehicles but in my case the 4 wheel ATV will be best. My questions are (1)What works good for...

If it's made of leather you will find it in Yoakum, Texas. Their community prides themselves on the being the "Leather Capital"

I just saw the Sears ad for a 42" 18 horsepower Twin Valve Briggs and Stratton standard shift for $1200. Add $200 for the automatic. Didn't have the cupholder though.

I guess I'll be the odd ball on this issue. I've had a Craftsman 42" riding mower for years. It's cheap like the Murray. Parts replacement is relatively painless. I'm like most others when it comes to the Deeres. My wife says I look like a kid in the candy store.

Being a betting person that I am, I going to put my money on the rise in fuel prices. It's all linked to the projections that oil is going up. Russia's productions have faltered because of politics. OPEC is cutting production and that leads to higher fuel prices. It takes fuel to produce the...

We have our working chute with headgate at 27 inches inside. Nice and tight but not too difficult for the "big girls" or the bull. We added a separate loading chute off the small pen leading to the working chute. We made that 29" inches inside. So far, this has been working good for us. We...

That's what is so great about this country. Everyone can have an opinion. This guest gave us one. I got a little chuckle out of it. Now, I'm going to go give my cattle a some more hay so they will be ready to do their part to help feed the people of this wonderful country.

WELL STATED, JW Skip

Ellie, YOU GO GIRL!!! You make good points just like everyone else. I 55 years old and I learned a thing or two from one of your posts the other day. THANKS

I want to say thanks to all of you that contribute to these boards. I'm retiring at the end of this school year after 26 years in education with last 15 being a high school principal. I can assure you that I am going to totally enjoyed raising our 30 cows on our 130 acres. The peace and...
