Good way to look at it. Same thing as project managing. Take care of the individual task as required, and the project as a whole will be a success. Always try to come in at or under budget each area of the project. Sometimes you cant avoid going over. Planning is the key to any successful endeavor.

Imo, a farm indicates that you are actively cultivating property to produce something. Obviously, you might also raise animals as well. A ranch would be a more of a range type situation for raising cattle, horses, sheep ect... Generally think of a ranch being 500 acres at a minimum. Of course...

Well, I guess as far as Brother-in-laws go, I can tolerate him. I let him do his own thing for a while, but every-so-often I have to set him straight. After 25+ years, I guess my sister isnt going to trade him in, so I try my best to make it work. The things a brother will do for a sister......

Question: Brother-in-law called me and said he suspects one of the steers he's feeding out still has a testicle. I banded it when it was a few days old and thought for sure I got both of them. He said the "steer" has a lump in that vacinity and some guys at work told him the thing withdrew and...

Wow, another 6" of rain. When it rains, it pours. Everthing has to be in excess in Texas. Too much drought, then too much rain. Sure is nice to see green again.

Go to this link www.tahc.state.tx.us/ Article Dated :February 17: Action on Texas' Proposed Premises Registration Regulations Postponed Obviously the requirement to register has been postponed. They are still suggesting a voluntary registration though. Sounds like it will eventually become...

Feral pigs are mostly domesticated pigs that got loose. They breed with other wild pigs which commonly have the russian bloodline. Some more prominent than others. They have evolved a bit to adapt to the wild. The nose is longer being that they rely on rooting more so than domesticated pigs...

Calm down Bez. No a-hole comments used. Some of the people, believe it or not, are lucky to get around as much as they do on the computers. Theres still alot of people computer illiterate out there..

Well, do you know what? I'm not the one with the spelling problem. I think it's a little petty to critisize people if they don't know any better. If you can read it and get the gist of it, why make comments.

Hey Caustic, theres a beginners board for Feral pig at Texasboars.com. Might want to give it a shot. I wouldnt trust killing one of those things with anything less than a 9 mm for close range head shot. 30-06 for long distance. If you need any advice on the ferals, just give ole chiefy a buzz. I...

I feed backhoeboogies bull cubes occasionally by hand. There has been a couple of times when the neighbors cow was in heat he acted like a different bull. Didnt want to be around him at all. That was the first time I had ever seen him look aggressive. He's 3 years old and generally quite dosile...

500 to 600 yards wide? Sounds like a river or small lake at that size

How would you like to be a bull if you had to breed the tail-less cow and the water-head that caustic posted awhile back?

i remember those ducks. WHen they were circling the field, getting ready to land, looked like a twister (tornado).10x easier than shooting fish in a barrel. Theres a thought. Backhoe, check to see what it would cost to plant a few acres of peanuts. It would sure bring the deer in. Plow it up...

Im curious as to how many of you guys grew up on the farm, say 40 or 50 years ago. Even though I was at the tail end of being on a farm in the late 60's and early 70's, I was amazed at how much more physical labor went into farming/ranching. When my father moved to the homeplace, which is where...

Hauling a few hundred bales of peanut hay a few summers in Texas should earn me an honorable mention at the least. My grandfather would drive the tractor and even though I didnt see him do it, I know he was laughing when he would speed it up just enough to make me have to almost run to pitch it...

Its been a lot of years since my father called a vet out to the property because of a downed cow. I remember it happening only once. As I recall, the cow was a little bloated, and he ran a tube down her throat. I do remember the vet was not able to save her, and refused payment. Is that still a...

Ive lived on the Brazos River for 42 years. Cant count the # of times that we, my neighbors on each side, and neighbors across the river have fed each others cows. River is generally shallow in spots, but the opposite bank is very steep. Cows can be goat-like when it comes to traveling river...

How would you like to be one of caustics kids.. If I was, you can bet I'd keep a razor handy in case I ever got sick.
