    Pasture Pet Peeves

    I had the neighbor that would use my property to feed his cows, and the sheriff said it's a fence out state. If I don't want his animals on my property, it's up to ME to keep them out. How fair is that?

    Pasture Pet Peeves

    In that case I'm not sure what my pasture pet peeves are..... I would guess being out of water, or maybe mad there is no breeze... or when it rains all night then the flies come out until it's mosquito:30. I would have to guess, but those would be up there somewhere.

    Pasture Pet Peeves

    I go check to up on the new calf last night, I hear gunfire and I see all the cows crowded in a corner of the pasture, like 2ac out of a 15ac field. By the time my cripple self hobbled to the other side it was over and couldn't find where it was from. Hate finding garbage everywhere. Hate...

    My new tipper

    Was just looking at military auctions the other day for a farm truck. I like the rugged exterior that never rusts. In the 90s, we still had Vietnam era trucks. Couldn't get one of them 6x6 stuck! Our company got a Bradley stuck in muck one time, that was fun.

    A big shout out to my Amish neighbors

    Had a young man show up. Told him what we wanted and where. He was back in a couple days with 4 guys. Did a 20x30 post hay barn and 12 x24 greenhouse in 2 days for the price quoted for just the hay barn, by several other companies. Good workers, quality buildings. He drove his drivers truck up...

    Anyone ever cooked a whole steer in the ground?

    Stock tanks are galvanized. Do they leach?

    That time of year

    Is rattle snake the only one worth a mention, or the only you have had? Anyone compare flavor or texture, breeds or by size? Saw a nice size moccasin that was quicker than I was.
