We started out looking at atvs a few years ago, and pretty quickly realized how much more we could do with a side x side. They both have their place, but overall the side x side is more useful to us.

That's a shame to have to deal with. My cousin has a farm by a subdivision and he had as much trouble with people as he did dogs. Neighborhood kids tried to catch and ride his horses. Kids shot up his barn and shot the windshield out of an old 60's model cattle truck. We used to have an awful...

Yeah, the actual backstory to why my wife got into the story and called the people, stemmed from a conversation we tried to have with the sister in law about farming practices. She had seen an online video of dairy calves being mistreated. Tried telling her that if it was anything to it it was...

Reminds me of last year, my wife’s sister in law at the time ( she’s now divorcing ) had shared some kind of post bashing a particular breeder of dogs. They were telling people not buy from them and telling how horrible the conditions were. My wife knows that sometimes people give others a bad...

Yes, lots of differing rules amongst the various Amish communities. Many different beliefs and views among Baptists too. I'll make a post in the politics and religion section on this subject so as not to take away from the focal point if this thread.

Agreed. I don’t believe that anybody starts out thinking that they are going to become an alcoholic or a drug addict. It just happens a little more at a time, one more drink, one more smoke or pill or whatever. There are many people in denial about their dependence, and it does place others in...

There’s been two or 3 zebras to sell at an area stockyards over the last few months.

I'll agree with you in part that cigarettes and alcohol are as much of a gateway as anything. I'll always believe that marijuana is a gateway drug and more harmful than people want to think especially for young people. My wife and and I have been around in ministry work for quite a while and...

Problem I see is it’s a gateway drug for a lot of people, and I believe it is very harmful to children if they use it. My ex wife was apparently using it at a very young age and it affected her pretty severely. Her drug use was supposed to have been in the past but I suspected something was...

I’m glad it wasn’t any worse than it was. Horns are definitely dangerous. I prefer to have all polled or dehorned cattle but we have two with horns currently.

I used to go to barber, but then try to get mileage out of haircut by trimming the back and sides for a while. Since I’ve been married my wife has been cutting it. In the summer I’d prefer darn near shaved off, but she likes some hair left. One time she cut it and got to trying to get it evened...

We have our own beef so we eat pretty good lots of times at home. We have laying hens so we eat a lot eggs. I try to raise a garden too. It’s so expensive to eat out we try not to do that much. Our town doesn’t really have a lot of options outside of fast food chains and Mexican restaurants. So...

That’s how we are, we rarely go out to eat much. We looked over the menu online and had the conversation before we went about what we were going to order. Wife seriously considered some kind of fettuccini (not sure how to spell that). Then she decided since it was a place known for its steaks...

Wife and and I were given a gift card to a fancy restaurant, by some very generous guests at our BnB. We made reservations for today. Wife got an appetizer, salad, cheeseburger, baked potato and dessert. I got an 8oz filet mignon, with salad and baked potato. It was advertised as prime beef...

I think it only allows for about 3 seconds worth of video, atleast that’s all I’ve been able to post.

I don't really make a habit of original names for them, other than either what's on the registration or more likely I'll just call them by their sire's name if it's a well known bull In Charolais I've had a Merlin, High Rise, Cujo, Show Off, Sequoia, Angus, New Design, Predestined, Missing...

Years ago there was a Charolais bull from Australia named Bone Crusher. Always kinda wondered about the name Rampage for the Angus bull, doesn’t scream great disposition. Nor does the newer one named Wildcat. Looked at a Wildcat son the other day, and he seemed pretty docile.

Saw this article and it mentions something like make sure your cattle and horses aren’t rampaging through fences. Not sure how to prevent that, animals have been getting spooked for ever by various things, not sure how the eclipse would cause that, I could see chickens going to roost...

So sorry that y’all are having to go through all of that. I understand the running on empty part of it. Prayers for y’all.

Yeah definitely not a good national security plan to be dependent on importing food from other countries. What if those countries decided we don’t want to sell you food or start extortion over it, or some international upheaval happens and commerce movement is disrupted. So many horrible...
