Devastating for sure. There is no loyalty anywhere. Those communities supported Tyson in tough times and now the company is ditching them.

This is exactly why those program require a 1 year internship before they can graduate.

I've never had coyotes bother my calves, but they are born in the 70-80 pound range and my cows gang up on them if a calf lets out s frightened bawl or the momma bawls aggressively. My neighbors has calves born in the 30-40 pound range and his Angus are not quite as protective. While he has...

I think the neighbor is starting to sour on the idea. The county is definitely starting to sour on it. When a landowner decides to allow a solar lease, the property becomes commercial and the landowner has to seek county commissioners' approval to move from ag to commercial. In Texas that can...

The cemetery that shares our fence is the quietest neighbors around. I fear the day when they get rowdy.

That's a lot of assumptions considering we don't know very much at this point. I saw on another forum a text message exchange from a person who works in the sheriff's office that apparently a tractor caught on fire, the employee left the tractor to call 911 and when he returned the flames were...

This morning on ag news, the local officials hypothesized that a piece of machinery got over heated and ignited methane gas. The leads me to think about the cows farting methane gas and how the climate change cultists are going to scream - "See? We need to get rid of cows." (I do not think...

Son, you are incorrect about the % of government employees as a part of the workforce. When you consider teachers, police, firemen, city workers, county workers, state employees, state agencies, state high education, and each federal agency, each legislator, and on and on - government employees...

Continued: American Essence: Thomas Jefferson saw the yeoman farmer as key to the preservation of a good government. Yet over the centuries, that ideal has been displaced. A smaller and smaller chunk of the population farms the land, pushed out by agribusiness and government. What then is...

A bit of a read but very interesting. Victor Davis Hanson is one of the brilliant thinkers of our time and I think most people here can relate to what he says. Farming and virtues. You must subscribe to read the link, so I put the text below. Victor Davis Hanson on the Farmer's Virtues...

I can appreciate what your old friend said about putting the time in to train them. We always say, "Train don't complain." I will however disagree with your comment about a dog being more trouble than they are worth. I love my dogs and always have things for them to do, although it may not...

The barrel length on this plinking gun isn't long enough to make that much of a difference. Hi-Point has had a 9mm Carbine out for decades and so have several other companies. The gun was made for fun, as any Henry rifle enthusiast will tell you. And it was made to be easier to stash in the UTV...

I used to think just a sack of feed would work but I always have a few that will not come to feed. Plus, a good dog will help me move the cows through the pens and chutes. I would say it takes several years to develop a finished stock dog because a lot of what they learn is from experience...

And natural enemies of black rifles are friends of black buzzards - the federal government. Earlier this year my neighbor lost a heifer in calving. There must have been 100+ black buzzards on her. And at least 75 around my yearling heifers which were over 300 yards away. (I used to have a...

BEEF Today article It's about dang time! Please contact your reps to support this bill. The bill would allow livestock producers the ability to "take" the black vultures. Mar 09, 2023 It's not hard to find a cattle producer who has had a problem with black vultures and the threats and...

I haven't been to the theater in a good while but we do watch movies nearly every weekend at home. Last weekend we watched "We Have a Ghost" on Netflix. It is a light hearted, feel good movie that ends in the most unpredictable way. Another really good non-western - Peanut Butter Falcon. I...

It is in Texas. I heard it from an ag and land attorney who specializes in protecting landowner's property.

This. ^^^ Plus, in Texas a fence is an automatic "No Trespassing" Sign. Word gets around that you will prosecute trespassers and they will stop.

Do any of you use the internet to sell replacement heifers? If so, what and how to you use it? I realize Cattle Today does not have a forum for sales, which is fine because I'm looking for a more local market. Do you have any tips for on line sales? Thanks!
