    Marijuana

    Medical pot has been legal in Utah for a number of years. Also legal for medical use in Utah is psilocybin, mdma , and ketamine . 🤔 But haven’t heard or seen anything about them seceding 🤷‍♂️ But no sense in letting things like facts alter your opinion!

    Sound of Freedom

    While it is definitely a topic that needs discussion and more attention. My question is how much of it is factual and how much of it is hype for Tim Ballards now failed plans to run for senate. Lots of controversy right now about O.U.R and Tim Ballard. And if many of his claims are fact or are...

    Horned Cattle

    Any butcher that pens strange animals together is asking for trouble. horns or not. I prefer to keep a cow or two with horns around. Keeps the stray dogs and coyotes at bay.

    US Herd Size Trends

    Numbers don’t lie. If you aren’t making money you aren’t making money . Some choose to deal with reality, and some live in fantasy land with fantasy numbers . In many parts of the u.s. it isn’t financially possible to but land and run cattle on it and make a profit. Those are the cold hard facts .

    Skin walker ranch thoughts

    There are a lot more interesting stories in that general area but most not a lot more believable but interesting nonetheless. Blind frog ranch, the haunting of moon lake by the water babies/moon lake monster. The spirits that guard the lost Rhodes /Spanish mines /seven cities of cibola mines...

    Skin walker ranch thoughts

    Sorry to burst your bubble but the entire thing was created in the late 1980s to keep an over extended rancher from going completely bankrupt. The oilfield crash led the owner of the property at risk of losing not only that ranch but several other properties. Made up stories about skin walkers...

    Yep there seems to be a group of bullies that are so insecure in their opinions, that if anyone expresses a different opinion. The go into personal attack mode. I think it would be far more beneficial for them to discuss why they feel the way they do and bring supporting info that supports their...

    We don’t have honey locust or Osage orange in this area. But our equivalent Russian olive I think would give either one a run for their money. They are thorny and when you are scraped with a thorn it almost always turns into a welt . Any attempts at mechanical removal only act to invigorate new...

    Yes there is a time and place for everything. We still use chainsaws and equipment to remove juniper trees. But we have found we can make more progress if we don’t remove them at the beginning and wait until they are dead/dieing before removing them. But even the most overgrown tree or brush...

    I always found this interesting. That and the research that indicates that about 30 percent of a plants roots are replaced each year .if you don’t allow the plant to replace the 30 percent of roots each year you are degrading you forage base

    Not what I say it is what research and documentation in Yellowstone says. Open areas of the park are refilling with woody type plants. Not debating if this is a good or bad thing. Wolf reintroduction caused the elk population to decrease substantially, lower elk reduced the amount of woody...

    Properly managed burns have definitely been adventagous to us increasing soil and plant forage capacity. But many underestimate the use of animal grazing to maintain open areas and to keep woodlands and brush at bay. Look at the devistation of open areas in Yellowstone national park due to the...
