    EVs

    I bought a used Prius last November (hybrid), and love it for my commute. I get between 65 and 70 MPG on it, and drive 78 miles one way to work (we live very rural, and I drive to Springfield, MO as a teacher, so 5 days a week). I have been doing the drive for 5 years now, and got tired of...

    Alabama longhorn sets Guinness World Record

    If the interest is there, they can clone him and keep the resulting offspring a bull,and then sell semen on the sucker. But I doubt there is much money in that endevor.

    Farm names

    We are both fire fighters and had a chimney sweep business when we named our farm, thus Fire Sweep Ranch, ...... and the maltese cross for our brand.

    Ugh, what a day!

    The calf is very audible when breathing tonight. She is nursing, and lively, but coughs and breaths heavy. I think I will call the vet out if she does not get better tomorrow. The pipe is a temporary water system we use when we get pigs for the fair. We buy our pigs in early March, and they go...

    Ugh, what a day!

    Been one of those days you wish never happened! I had a Genex membership meeting tonight, which was good. But was not able to check on the cows, so at 9PM I am out there in the dark... found a down line (hotwire) that needed to be fixed. Get the darn thing fixed, and find a sick 2 week old calf...

    You know it's time to scrape around the hay ring when....

    No, I bought a box of the big cattle ones. The first one I tried got stuck in the esophagus of the calf I treated, had to call the vet to get it cleared! He told me to smash it up, so it goes down easier. That is what we do... smaller particle size. PITA, but works

    SAV America had nothing on this

    We call that a "tongue sucker". Nervous horses do that, and when you are showing them it is a pain in the rear! Hard habit to break on a horse.

    You know it's time to scrape around the hay ring when....

    you get stuck and fall face first in the crap! I had a young calf that was around the hay ring this morning, and then tonight when I checked them again. I decided to get her out of there and back to the barn. I figured out why she seemed stuck there; the mud is THICK and nothing can get through...

    Merry Christmas

    Great Gerts, once you go Corgi you never go back! lol We only produce one litter a year, typically in the late spring/early summer time, so they are ready to go to homes around July/August. They are our family, all of them sleep in the house, on various kids beds or mine. Our pups are raised...

    I’m glad when Christmas is over

    Same here. We have all been saying what a sad Christmas it was this year. My family lives out of state, though I did have my sister and her kids over for a meal and fellowship. Hubby's family is hugely fractured, and he and his sister do not talk after the passing of their mother a year and a...

    Duck boat capsizes. Claims at least 11

    I can tell you why, they did not know! That same wind hit us. Straight line winds are not predictable, and all week we have had storms that "might" happen. Yesterday, it was actual 105 with a feels like 125 (HORRIBLE). There was no weather warning, and only a 20% chance of rain. It was so hot...
