Just a Dumb Ranchers Wonderings

I Figured
Earlier this week Ed posted <a href="http://www.billingsgazette.com/blog/citylights/index.php?p=628">Peace and quiet, city style</a>, in which he mentioned his foray "at a ranch near Livingston." I read that and I figured he had been at the Mission Ranch. Sure enough, that is what the <a href="http://www.billingsgazette.com//index.php?id=1&display=rednews/2004/10/10/build/state/35-making-it-pay.inc">story</a> is about. My knowdledge of the Mission ranch? It was my grandpa's…

Warming
Whenever a person starts talking about the current drought in the west, inevetably somebody thinks that global warming is the culprit. According to <a href="http://www.rockymountainnews.com/drmn/local/article/0,1299,DRMN_15_3238944,00.html" target="_blank">this article</a> though, the current drought is nothing compared to ancient droughts. Funny thing is that ancient droughts can't have happened because of global warming so blaming this one on…

Wimps
Marked trails are for wimps according to <a href="http://www.billingsgazette.com//index.php?tl=1&display=rednews/2004/10/08/build/wyoming/49-ystone-burn.inc">this guy</a>. He payed for it now didn't he. Why is it so hard to read and follow directions?<br />n<br />n<b>Knowledge is of no value unless you put it into practice. Anton Chekhov</b>

Genome
I see that scientists have sequenced <a href="http://www.news.com.au/common/story_page/0,4057,10997669%255E1702,00.html" target="_blank">Bovine DNA</a>. The claim is that this will help in the future breed more feed efficient cattle with more uniform marbling and better taste. I am not so sure that this will be the case but I will give it a chance. My question is why they…

Adoption
Putting your <a href="http://www.omaha.com/index.php?u_np=0&u_pg=46&u_sid=1220151" target="_blank">cows up for adoption</a>. I found this over at <a href="http://www.omaha.com/index.php?u_np=0&u_pg=46&u_sid=1220151" target="_blank">Midwest Bloggin</a> and thank Renee for it. <br />n<br />nWhat a wonderful concept. I think this is a wonderful idea. I would probably charge a little more for yearly upkeep but each to his own. It really sounds like the…

Privilege
I ran into town this afternoon for parent teacher conferences, she is doing wonderful as always, and took time to exercise the privilege the founding father gave us, I voted. So the Presidential, vice-presidential, governor or dog catcher candidates can spew and debate all they want. All the candidates can run all the nasty dirty…

Equal

Question
I have a question for you. Why is it when men have a take no crap attitude it is great and they are considered strong. But let a women do the exact same thing and she is the biggest bitch in the world. What is the difference?

Lab Mistake?
I have to feel sorry for Wyoming cattle producers. First all cattle transported out of state have to be tested for brucellosis because of <a href="http://www.billingsgazette.com/index.php?display=rednews/2004/02/25/build/wyoming/53-wyo-brucellosis.inc" target="_blank">thier loss of brucellosis free status</a> in the state. With all the increased testing another <a href="http://www.billingsgazette.com/index.php?display=rednews/2004/08/06/build/wyoming/30-brucellosis.inc" target="_blank"> herd tested positive</a> for brucellosis extending the amount of time before…
