    T-post one, me zero

    I rolled my skin plumb over my knuckle about 20 years ago when my wedding ring hung something, like a dummy instead of taking the ring off I used it to push my skin back in place and then had to cut the ring off. I wear a silicone wedding band now.

    solar eclipse April 8. This town is going nuts over it.

    We live near a lake and a river, lots of tourists through the summer and 4th of July you can't stir them with a stick they are so thick because of the fireworks show on the lake, they told us to stay home because there would be 3 time as many people here as there is on the 4th, traffic would be...

    What to do?

    Draw up a good contract stipulating how you want things done and find someone willing to do that. As someone mentioned, there are lots of young people who want to farm but the opportunity is not there because when people get out they either lease to someone that's big or won't lease at all. This...

    Hogs on milk?

    I fed out 2 last year with out of date milk from a neighbor who has milk routes, I poured it over their feed in the bucket then fed to them. 2 pigs got around 4-6 gallons of milk a day. They weighed around 225 at 6 months old.

    Weird Dreams

    Funny, I was just discussing with my wife right before I opened this thread about how I dream almost nightly and she rarely dreams. I have some weird of the wall dreams but also have a lot of dreams about the past and loved ones that have passed on, especially my papaw and my mom. I dream of my...

    Educating Consumers about CAB

    I had my wife read over it, she doesn't understand the technical jargon either, I re-worded several things before finalizing so that the average person might be able to understand.

    Educating Consumers about CAB

    I posted it on my farm facebook page a few days and had a positive response. I had another farm thank me for sharing the information as they face the same questions. Most people will google what they don't understand if they truly are curious.

    Educating Consumers about CAB

    I have a Facebook page for my farm that we use to help sell our beef, we now have over 1600 followers on that page. Below is a post that I made on that page to inform our followers about CAB. I posted this on here in response to all of the debates we have about CAB. Notice I didn't knock Angus...

    Another..."last" update.

    I read a story one time in a cattle magazine of some kind if I remember right about an old man that was out fooling with his cows and the bull attacked him and he couldn't get back up so all of his mama cows surrounded him to protect him from the bull and stayed put until someone got there. I...

    Soaking up the sunshine

    I just went out and busted ice, wasn't terrible except on my cheeks and nose where my beard doesn't cover. One of the cows had tears froze on the side of her face below her eyes.

    Soaking up the sunshine

    Our son used to do that when he was little, he'd wake up scared or something and come in our room and we'd wake up to him right in our face hoping we'd wake up and console him, usually we frightened him more with our reaction LOL.

    When my 55" is gone....

    Heartland is good, we've watched all the way through season 16. We got UP tv through Amazon for I believe 4.95/month and it has all seasons of Heartland. UP is a family and Faith based channel. We have an antenna for local channels and we have several free apps to watch programs on. Pluto Tv is...

    Health insurance

    I don't recall meeting him. If he was at Sheridan, they had a superintendent Jerrod Williams who used to be our superintendent, kinda hard to work for but I learned a lot from him. I believe Allen Love was their deputy superintendent over maintenance and transportation? Allen passed recently as...

    Health insurance

    They have a conference in Hot Springs in the summer for the transportation directors and mechanics I’ve only been to it once, bet that’s the one he attended. I attend one in the fall for Facilities and Maintenance directors that I’ve been attending since about 2010. I’m terrible with names so if...

    Health insurance

    Our buses have cameras and a private channel cb radio, no cellphones. If a kid is wrote up a certain number of times they can be suspended from the bus. We have had a few fights over the years on the bus but it's rare. Very few problems with the kids we have on the buses really, usually just...

    Health insurance

    I've heard a lot of stories from older people talking about driving the bus their senior year, I look at our seniors and can't imagine that. Different times, less traffic and mamas and daddies that would bust their butts. The district I work at still has pretty good kids for today's standards...
