    ELTON JOHN WEARING A COWBOY HAT

    We have a barber shop in the same building as our local stock yards. There local people play real country music for free that makes you tap your toes. Forget the stuff on the radio.

    Any Australian questions?

    Thanks for all the information. Iappreciate it and it seems you do have a lovely country and politics not so different from ours. No place else could ever be Kentucky for me though. The South Devons do look impressive. Bet they would cross good on the Red Polls I here on Sugar Creek.

    Any Australian questions?

    I find Australia and New Zealand fasinating but will probably never get a chance to visit. Some questions. 1. What part of Australia do you live in? 2. Does it snow and what is your average precipitation, also in what seasons does it rain? 3. How long has your area been settled and farmed? What...

    Tribute to my Dad

    Crowder's post should make us all look at ourselves. Will our children look at us in the same light he views his father? I,too. have experienced this loss. The ache dulls with time but I continue to be greatly influenced by my father some 12 years after his passing. It does help to know others...

    Strange Habits/Customs

    My contribution to the cattle industry lies chiefly in the development of a linebred stain of leaping cattle. I have been culling selectively for years. I started with low board fences in the gathering area outside the cattle chute. It helped that these boards were old, thin and weak so as not...

    Cold front

    We are waiting for that same cold front. Around here it has been about 95 the last three days but with a good breeze today that made it not so bad. Kentucky is considered a Southern state but the only time I remember it over 100 was in 1983. I notice it is often cooler here than in New York...

    Rain!

    About ten days ago it got real cool all of a sudden and the wind started to blow. A funny smell was in the air. The dogs run under the porch and I started getting wet. It was real strange. Been happening off and on every afternoon or so. Funny how green it is getting when looking out back across...

    nice to have an Englishman on the boards.

    I agree that it good to have some viewpoints that are not the Texas, Arkansas, Florida and Canada slant so often on the board. This is not to put them down for they give the board its character, just to say its interesting to hear the problems and opportuities from other areas. I have always...

    Hobby Farmers

    I grew up in a small town but my family in all previous generations had been farmers in this county for 200 years. I always wanted to farm and work with livestock and bought an 80 acre farm right out of high school on credit in 1971. High interest rates in the early 1980s made me take a public...
