    Darn coon hunters again!

    My biggest heartburn with the matter was not the dogs crossing onto my property. Dogs cross all the time and as long as they don't chase cows or calves I don't mind. The shooting right outside my back door at 1:30 in the morning, the shorting out hotwire and leaving it that way and climbing over...

    Darn coon hunters again!

    Their dogs woke me up at 1:30am this morning with a coon treed just 100 yards from my house. The SOB's where shooting at it! My house is in plain sight. I grab a spotlight, go out on the porch and light them up. They see me and then proceed to nonchalantly walk across the pasture 50 yards from...

    My Bull Ain't Worth It

    I used to hunt this area some years ago and got permission to hunt several pieces of private land. I think I know this rancher or at least met him. The name is familiar. I know the road and the area. What a tragic story.

    Dont get complacent

    I had a fiberglass sorting stick. I hit her hard across the face when she charged. She didn't even flinch and I am 6' 245lbs and no weakling. She did the first assault and then ran across my body, spun and charged back. In this time I was highly motivated to gain my feet and I beat her to the...

    Dont get complacent

    Unfortunately Dave this was on a gravel lane.....not much give. I did eventually get her tag number. Number 71. I'll remember that one in my sleep. She had a bull calf....found that out yesterday. I'm going to give he a few days and see if her hormone levels go back to normal. If not she will...

    Tux, I think your tag line summed it up for me about as well as it can be said.

    Dont get complacent

    Spent some time at the hospital last night. Saw a new calf in the field. The cow was a veteran cow and always has been gentle after calving in the past. I went to check her ear tag number for my records. I got about 20 ft away when she charged. No head shaking, no glare nothing. She knocked me...

    coyote kill

    I agree that dogs kill more calves than coyotes no doubt. In this case I know for sure it was coyotes. Calf was perfectly healthy. I saw it at the water trough with it's momma 30 yards from my house at about 10 pm and it followed her into the wooded strip near where it was killed. When I was...

    coyote kill

    Lost my first calf ever to coyotes. It was a 3 day old bull calf out of a heifer. A pack of coyotes started going crazy about 2am about 150 yards from the house. My dogs were going insane barking and growling but are in a fenced in yard. I could hear the heifer bawling and carrying on. I grabbed...

    Deal of the century

    I have been very busy and haven't posted much but I had to share my deal of the century. I went to an estate pre-sale of a man who passed away a few months ago. He was a tool junkie and had a work-shop full of tools. The family was selling everything. A guy that works for me is a friend of the...

    In case anyone forgot.

    A few years ago I was moving our Jersey nurse cow and calf over to another pasture about 2 miles away. Loaded the ol' gentle cow into the trailer with no problem but the 1 month old heifer calf refused to follow. Matter of fact she just laid down where she was and refused to budge. After a few...

    One....OK, Twice.....really?

    If they had thumbs they would be really dangerous :lol2: It is amazing how smart they are. He knows exactly what I am talking about almost human-like. Weird and cool things he does: Kills wasps.....the more they sting him the madder he gets. He will jump up into the air and catch them and eat...

    One....OK, Twice.....really?

    Three times? How can this be? I have a 3 year old Red Heeler that is a tough SOB no question. I have seen him take a kick from a cow that knocked hide and hair off of him and he gets right back up and at them. I have seen him take on two of my neighbors boxers at the same time. He weighs 40 lbs...

    Back from Europe

    I was there on business but fortunately I had some time to look around. I visited our sister factories across France, Germany and Austria. I had some downtime at each location.
