That is AWESOME Ron! You have reason to be very proud him!

Hey Ron....don't stress over your hay too much! I haven't made a bale of first crop yet. Some years I have 250 bales made and inline wrapped by the first of June.

Deepsouth....Sorry for your loss. This is a senseless loss of a very good man! Please keep us all informed on how this all proceeds. I hope they nail someone for this cowardly act.

Kenny, sounds like return-to-farm cows are a lot higher in western Va than they are up this way. And yes SKY....I did watch some of the sale today but I didn't get to see the bred cows or pairs...they seemed higher from your above posts?

Hey Kenny, you have been coming up with some good threads lately, are you house-bound!! I also watch the Winchester replacement cow markets, and try to go down a few times a year. Those cows are just bringing a couple cents over kill price. What I see happening is that we just don't have the...

I often think that when I am an old man, I will be able to tell my grandchidren that I grew up knowing WW2 vets, as I had many great-uncles that served.

It sucks when you buy a cow that is supposed to be heavy bred and you have to wait like that. She did give you a nice calf, though. That red brockle-face will ring the bell in your markets this fall? I like your white -faced cow there, is the calf bwf or black?

Happy Birthday, to my very good friend! Tomorrow is my wife's birthday....you could save me some money if you would be nice enough to come and take her out to a nice birthday dinner!!

Hey millstreaminn....sorry about all this hooplaw. I am a fellow Pennsylvanian and I was pleased to stumble on to your website. I think many of us on CT run cattle as a sideline to other businesses. I myself, have sawmill and logging operations in the tri-state area(Pa, Md, and WVa). I have...

I sure didn't mean to offend anyone here. I don't know who millstreamin is....I looked at their profile and it had a link to their website to their other business. I wasn't aware that we couldn't be on this site if we had side businesses other than cattle. I guess you learn something new every...

I was trying to find out where Millstreaminn was located here in Pa. They have a very nice website that shows their hotel and rental cabin business. I think everyone would enjoy a weekend at their cabins! Good for you Millstreaminn.....I am 4 hours south of you on the WVa line....looks like...

I think a lot of the way we have a drive to have things in life, comes down to how we were raised, and what we saw growing up. Here in Pa, people living in the govt housing projects only have a few dollar a month co-pay for rent. A fat snap card, and get their utilities all paid for -including...

Hey Ron.....Stick around! You GOOFY OLD COOT! We need all of you older men and ladies on this forum for the knowledge that is locked within your brains. I for one am very tankful for the older members on CT and the stories they have to give us. In years to come,(if this forum continues) we...

Another good history lesson Inyati! Sadly, many old barns around here have fallen into disrepair. There are buyers roaming around buying these old barns so that they can sell the old lumber and cut limestone. I personally hate to see the old barns go, they are great landmarks! I have seen some...

Thanks for another great story Inyati!

Is that Ava in the pic, Denver? That is a nice looking sale ring they have there. I sure do like their weigh board, some of ours here have little dinky antique- looking weight boards that are hard to read.

Commercial Farmer...I really enjoyed your story of your mom's experience! Also thank you to Hook, Greybeard and some of you other guys....I think I will put my jury time in without complaint. It is going to be in January anyway!

Greybeard, you have helped me to look at jury duty in a different light. I thank you !

Hey Denver, good to see you are still alive on CT! I heard that there was some trouble on here today and some posters quit the boards. I thought maybe it was you, my friend! You aren't shy with your opinions sometimes!

I get nailed every year or so to report for jury duty. So far I have been able to shake their advances each time. I run some family owned businesses with my mother who is in her late 60's. We have farms, sawmills, logging operations, rental properties, and some trucking and coal and railroad-...
