I got to wonder. I check Craigslist occasionally. I never see these sorry looking, over priced, misrepresented cattle post around here. What is see is decent cattle that are generally priced a little above the market value. And actually very few cattle at all given the numbers of cattle...

Those aren't real coats. More like sweat shirts or jackets. Not everyone wants to live where you go out in shirt sleeves all the time.

A big blast of LA. In most cases they will eventually go blind in the eye. Edit: They will go blind if you do nothing to treat it. Treat in time and they recover.

I would be reasonable sure that it was a breeding soundness exam (BSE). Don't want to turn out a bull who is shooting blanks.

Back in the rodeo days it was said, "If you ain't cheating, you ain't trying".

This morning I drove over to my good trout fishing spot. I have done real good there in the past. 18-20 inch Rainbow Trout. But it just doesn't work if the wind is blowing. The forecast said winds light and variable. Well they were wrong. It was blowing. I fought it for an hour and said...

On Wednesday at the sale there was 3 bull calves with very visible but dry navels (3 -4 days old). The sold for $160. There was some older (4 or 5 week old) well started calves sold for $400+. Of course the older and bigger they were the more they sold for. 99% of the cows around here have...

Cows are not pets. They are livestock raised to be butchered. All my decisions about cattle are made as business decisions. It will be a cold day in He77 when I make a pet out of a cow.

We already had about half a bag of milk replacer. Once that is gone we will decide. Another bag or a ride to town.

When we gathered off the hill last week there was one calf looking wimpy. Ran his mom into the chute. She had right next to no milk. So he is on the bottle and she got a ride to town today. Weighed 1,395 and sold for $1.35. I am not certain how much I paid for her so I used the average...

I see some alfalfa down over in the Treasure Valley. But it will be another month before anyone even thinks about it here. Elevation has a lot to do with that. Treasure Valley is at about 2,100 feet. We are at 2,700 feet. And the Baker Valley is about 3,600 feet.

I get a lot of crossbreeds. I call them #1, #2, #3..............

Week ago Sunday I went to a BBQ for the birthday of a 95 year old neighbor. Spent Monday and Tuesday either sitting on or hugging the toilet. So did about half the people who were at the BBQ. Turned out there is a bad stomach bug going around. A friend's wife who teaches had 12 of 24 kids...

I thought that was the name of purebred Saler cows.

I thought about taking the camera. Once we were out on the water I thought I wish I had remembered to bring the camera.

The cattle market looks strong. What can happen outside cattle that can or will effect the market? My crystal ball doesn't show any of those. If you are concerned look into LRP. You can put it on as many or as few head as you want. Using it at the lower level is pretty cheap. Doing that...

On the Snake River. This was on the pool up stream from the Brownlee Dam. This is the up stream end of what becomes Hell's Canyon. Beautiful scenery and the river was flat as glass today. It was a good thing it was a beautiful day to enjoy the river because we never had a single nibble...

Not 100% but many of them and all the big ones.

Well I am not at Evel Knievel's level but not too far behind. I have long ago lost count but stitches something like 15 times.

That discussion about tattoos and scars got me thinking. All the scars I have, none which beer was involved. None recently. But just maybe some time back my intelligence should have been questioned.
