Just a Dumb Ranchers Wonderings

  • Quality Meat in Large Supply

    Well, as is no surprise, <a href="http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story2&u=/ap/20031224/ap_on_re_as/mad_cow_asia">South Korea and Japan</a> have now banned import of beef from the U.S. due to the <acronym title="Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy">BSE</acronym> case. This will really hurt the cattle industry since these two countries are the biggest importer of quality U.S. beef in the world. I guess this means for the…

  • Merry Christmas To The Cattle Industry

    Well I said it myself. It was not if <acronym title="Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy">BSE</acronym> was discovered it was a matter of when. Well as is <a href="http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story2&u=/ap/20031223/ap_on_he_me/mad_cow">reported</a> any where you want to look in the media, a cow in the U.S. has &acirc;

  • Modern Equipment

    Not much has changed lately with the feeding of the cattle. Sheer routine has increased the pace we are able to do it. If the cattle would just decide to come in to feed we would have it made. Since they are slow to come in, I make the assumption that they are getting plenty…

  • Beads and Baubles

    I read <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/ac2/wp-dyn/A20056-2003Dec21?language=printer">this front page article </a>in the Washington Post with a great deal of interest. I have talked about the red hot cattle market before and how nice it is to see but I do find some things in the article very interesting.<br />n<br />n<i>Ditto down at Dilmart Furniture. Carpets, sofas and large-screen…

  • Indian Education for All

    Education is one of our most fundamental goals that we as a society can provide for our children so spending our scant education dollars on things that are talked about in <a href="http://www.billingsgazette.com/index.php?id=1&display=rednews/2003/12/21/build/state/40-indian-studies.inc">this article </a>is questionable to me. All I ever hear about is that we need to spend more money on education to properly…

  • Americans Have Rights

    The Second Circuit Court of Appeals yesterday ruled that the President lacks inherent authority to detain American citizens as enemy combatants when seized on American soil outside a zone of actual combat. <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A11500-2003Dec18.html">The ruling </a>is in response to the Governments holding of Jose Padilla incommunicado as an enemy combatant for allegedly plotting to explode…

  • New Element Discovered

    A major research institution has recently announced the discovery of the heaviest chemical element yet known to science. The new element has been tentatively named "Governmentium." Governmentium has 1 neutron, 12 assistant neutrons, 75 deputy neutrons, and 11 assistant deputy neutrons, giving it an atomic mass of 312. These 312 particles are held together by…

  • O Christmas Tree

    Today, after we were done feeding the cattle, one of my children and I went out to cut us down a Christmas tree. My oldest wasn&acirc;
