    Black Vulture Relief Act introduced

    There's a cell phone tower about 5 miles from my place that the black vultures go to roost. In the evening or in the early morning you can see all of the cross beams of the tower covered with those menacing birds. It's a problem that's only getting worse.

    Would you use a classified section?

    At this point I would say it's wide open for discussion, you could post what you would like for it to look like

    Would you use a classified section?

    Yes, as long as the postings of items for sale stays in the classifieds section. There should be a nominal cost to post, and the post should expire after 30-60 days to keep things fresh. I don't want to see the old post or posts after the item has sold and is no longer available. There should...

    DNA samples

    I use the TSUs like you said very quick and easy to take samples. I began with blood cards but had some issues with contamination of the samples chute side. With TSUs I'll take the sample usually at first vaccination and ear tagging time.

    Counting Your Money

    The simple answer is that you covered your costs and broke even, but it's never that simple. You need to consider any increase in the value of the land and the value of the cows given that they are now a year older.

    What is the job worth?

    A $15 federal minimum wage will cause untold numbers of unskilled workers to be replaced by technology. No more will a person take your order at McDonalds, you will enter your own order on a touchscreen, or using your iPhone on their app. The unemployed will sit at home getting fat and lazy...

    What is the job worth?

    The insurance I was referring to was for the work truck, it was my understanding that the employee had to provide his own work truck to use on the job.

    What is the job worth?

    I think there are some things that they could do to justify paying a lower wage, such as provide the work truck, ATV and associated expenses like fuel, repairs and insurance that they are currently requiring the hired help to provide. I know it's common in TX for the large ranches with...

    What is the job worth?

    Yes, but there's two sides to that coin...what is it worth to the employer and what is it worth to the employee. Without an agreement between both parties no work takes place. As an employee, if I can get more for my time/labor/knowledge/experience somewhere else, why should I take less...

    What is the job worth?

    It could be a summer job for a high school student if all they want is a "gate opener" without any knowledge of caring for the cattle. Tell the livestock owners, it's grazing only and they're responsible for their own care.

    What is the job worth?

    I understand that you're calculating how much is affordable, but things cost what they cost. Do the fertilizer, fuel and chemical companies set their prices with how much you can afford to pay in mind or is it based on their costs? Agricultural products are viewed as commodities and as such...

    Pedicure

    Enjoy it while you can, the plantar wart will come back quickly. This I know from my own experiences, to get rid of it permanently it has to be cut out by the root. The podiatrist can do it in less time than your pedicure took. This provides long lasting happy feet.

    Good news regarding fake meat

    It’s because you wouldn’t be able to pronounce all of the chemical names. The articles are most likely paid promotions.

    Trying to prepare for winter

    I'm glad it turned out okay for momma and baby, I thought it would be a couple of months early for you to be calving. I imagine the calf thinking "what just happened, I was so warm just a moment ago"
