Wasn't really sure where to post this but here we go... We have had peacocks around the farm for as long as I can remember. Lately though, something has been killing them while they are roosting at night (they typically roost in the same tree). What is weird to me is that whatever is doing...

Just read this article and was wondering if anyone here on the boards is effected by this? https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/1-million-acres-quarantined-in-south-texas-counties-due-to-tick-infestation/ar-AAFevkW?fbclid=IwAR3Uoo_yf0rONrVy4AGqx5oEhLUULOkQ6yJTU5-ly-7-ovmSn3EocmiksNA We have ticks...

Put 30 acres on the ground today... Is there any better smell then fresh cut alfalfa? I swear, if there was a deodorant called "Fresh Cut" that smelled like that, I would probably use it!! :D

Anyone going to the NCBA show in New Orleans this week? Typically I wouldn't travel to attend this show (I do attend when it is in Nashville), but one of our vendors Sioux Steel has invited the wife and I to attend this year and will be putting us up for the week. Should be a good time...

Anyone here have any experience with a massey ferguson 124 square baler? We really don't have much use for a square baler but I ran across this one and the price is right... It is in decent shape and the amount of bales that I plan to bale just doesn't justify buying a new one. Your inputs are...

Just curious if anyone on the boards is attending the Tennessee Cattleman's Association Conference in Murfreesboro tomorrow and/or Saturday? I will be there exhibiting the Feed Store (Diamond-H Farm & Feed Supply) so if you do plan to attend, stop by and say hello!

Out checking cows this morning and saw #118 (8 yo Black Baldie) with a vaginal prolapse. Brought her up to the working pens to see if there was anything I could do for her... everything was pretty much frozen up and seemed impossible to push back in. Made the decision to call the butcher and...

Just picked up a Rossi M92 lever action in .38 Special/357 Mag. I have always liked the lever action rifles and enjoy target shooting and predator hunting around the farm. I got the stainless steel model because I think it will hold up a little better riding around in the Gator... The Rossi...

With Veteran's Day being a week away, I would like to take time to recognize those on the Boards who have served... There has been a lot of press lately regarding those who serve(d) and stances on the American Flag. All of that aside, I tip my hat :tiphat: with respect to each and every one...

Well, we welcomed Grandchild #6 this morning!! My oldest son and his wife brought Jonah David into this world at 6:45 this morning. Jonah weighed 8 lb 15 oz and was three weeks early. Everyone is doing great... What a Blessing... God is Good!

I'm probably like a lot of you here on the Boards in that I don't take "typical" vacations... The wife and Grand Kids are all in Orlando doing the Disney World thing this week but with the Farm and the Feed Store it would be impossible for me to be gone for a week (plus I'm not a big fan of...

My baby girl is getting ready ready to bring her first child into this world (Grand Baby #5 for me)!! She is not due for a couple of weeks but her blood pressure and some other issues have been acting up... Long story short, she was admitted into Vanderbilt last night and they have started to...

So let me start by stating that I have always been a fan of racing in most all forms... haven't followed NASCAR close for many years now. With that being said, I have been given a fantastic gift from one of my suppliers that I am pretty excited about. I can choose any track that offers the...

Feeling a little nostalgic today... just doesn't get much better than this! https://youtu.be/x8A9Y1Dq_cQ Enjoy!

Other than cattle... Do any of you farm any crops in your operations or have any other viable incomes that you produce from your farm? For my farm, I grow around 20 acres of watermelons that I do fairly well on in a good year. There are three locally owned grocery stores in my area that...

This is the latest that I can remember planting winter wheat... We have been so dry here in Middle Tennessee that it has been almost impossible to drill any seed. Well, we finally got a little rainfall earlier this week and it was enough to make the ground workable again. Got it finished up...

Haven't been on the Boards lately... just got back from a great vacation! I spent all last week with my oldest son and five other great friends chasing pheasants in South Dakota. We were hunting on the Crow Creek Indian Reservation and got to see a lot of land... a lot of cattle... and a lot...

Just wanted to share with Y'all what I have been up to lately... it's not like I don't have enough to do, but my son and I opened up a Farm & Feed store (Diamond-H Farm & Feed Supply). It is something that I have wanted to do for a long time and with the encouragement of my middle son, we...

Went out to check cows yesterday morning (severe lightening and thunder storms all night) and saw what no producer wants to see... 7 dead cows all under a big Oak tree. Six commercial BA cows ( 5 y/o's due to calve in October) and one of our best 4 year old Red Angus bulls. I still feel pretty...

I need to replace my worn out tiller and was wondering if any of Y'all had any recommendations... good or bad and why. I am needing a 72" tiller for the watermelons and will be primarily using a 55hp JD to do the work. Need to get one fairly soon, so looking forward to hearing your opinions...
