    Cross Fencing a Pond

    A few month's back there was a string on ideas for cross fencing a pond and also a picture of someone's fence. I have tried to search for for this but have not been able to find it. It is so dry here that I can wade and do whatever I need right now. Can anyone help me? Thanks,

    gardening

    We grow a vegetable garden every year. It burnt up in June this year. Kept the tomatoes watered for a few weeks and then just gave up. I didn't get my fill before it dried up. I ran the brush hog over it this weekend. We also try to keep a landscaped lawn with flower beds and such.

    Calf with tongue out

    I've got on like that. I was concerned when he was new born. He is about 4 months old and is doing fine, just sticks out his tongue and lets it hang out about and inch or two. Comical looking.He tickles me every time I see him.

    Is anyone else in CO having a rattler problem?

    I didn't know we had rattlers in my area until this year. It has been very dry here and all my neighbors seemed to have killed monsters. Knock on wood, I haven't seen any. I've kept me and my cows out of the wooded areas.

    Help with ragweed control

    The ragweed in my area is really bad. I had ten acres that the ragweed took over when I moved the cows off and was going to hold them off until this fall but the ragweed was so thick they couldn't get to the grass. I sprayed it this weekend and had swollen eyes and hives by the time I got back...

    Prayers are with All that were in Katrina's Path

    NEW CALVES

    It's a hoot! Like hunting for Easter eggs. You never know what your going to find. I have a BD bull and he has always produced black calves with two Charlaois cows we have.

    Chicken Litter

    I remember a few years back hearing an OSU Extension person talk about feeding litter mixed with corn, grain or something. The gist I got from him was that it had very little nutrition value from the litter. It would just be filler mixed with the corn.

    Name that Grass (pics)

    Didn't ever know what it was called but I have some. It's not bermuda. I have that too and when I Round Up around the sidewalk to kill the bermuda, this grass will grow back. It does seem to grow where other plants won't. It has a shallow root system but I don't know how you would get rid of it...

    This is a test.............of the emergency broadcast system
