Instead of pulling the calf off the cow and separating the two, they put this fancy nose jewelry on which keeps the calf from nursing the…

  • Sickness

    I was visiting with a neighbor last night and he was telling me he was having some sickness trouble. Pinkeye. He said they have doctored about 50 head now and have a few blind ones because of it. The weird thing is that it is not horn flies causing it. He says there are something…

  • Good Looking

    I had a neighbor drive through my place "looking around" the other day. He stopped and visited when he was done and told me "That is one nice looking bunch of two-year olds, I think they are the best I've ever seen." I know, I should have just said thank you or something similarly modest…

A community response to such things is important to the well being of all. I thanked everybody that was there and recognize and thank them here again.<br />n<br />n<strong>When community flies…

  • We Won

    Well, we won for another year. We got the big branding done. It went very well. I had a very experienced crew of neighbors helping which makes all the difference in the world. All the riders knew what they were doing and did it well, no wrecks getting the cattle in, and the ground work…

  • Conflict

    I have this, let's say neighbor, who whenever he speaks I literally want to kill him. It has been a long time since I have been around someone who makes me feel this way. They act and speak like they are so superior to everybody around them that it just infuriates me. They look down…
