Thoughts From The Middle of Nowhere

Just a Dumb Ranchers Wonderings

  • Water

    I've had water problems for my cows for a couple of days now. One of my generators that I pump water with decided to give me fits. I had to sit and babysit it all day yesterday to try and figure out the problem. It's one of those things that the more complicated something is,…

  • Comments

    I have had a couple of people telling me that they are having trouble commenting here on my new site. I think I have rectified the problem so keep trying and let me know if you are still having a problem. If you do have a problem, you can email me at sarpysam at this…

I move to my new space here so I can self host and now I see <a href="http://rebelsarewe.org/">Rebels Are We!</a> has moved to new space so they can self host too.<br />n<br />nThen <a href="http://davebudge.com/">Dave Budge</a> decides to branch out and start a food related blog called…

It has cleared up some now. I won't complain. Taken 8/15/2007.</center>

  • Different Year

    It's amazing what difference a year makes. Last year was fairly dry but I felt there was a decent amount of grass. The cows were really restless though. I would put them in a pasture and they would walk from one end to another and back again. They never seemed to settle down. Last year…

  • Outlooks

    Beef herd expansion in the US <a href="http://www.cattlenetwork.com/content.asp?contentid=154808">is still on hold</a> so the outlook for beef prices holding up is good. That's good news to me the producer, we won't talk about you the consumers. The funny thing is that weather is still the driving force here just like it is on fires recently. Everybody…

  • Not A Dog

She can get used to a dog but she is flat scared of any strange dog, she just knows…

  • Scam

    To start with i wish to apologize for the website problems that I experienced Sunday through Monday. They were not of my making and were a problem my hosting service, <a href="http://ipowerweb.com/">Ipowerweb</a>, knew about but didn't feel like fixing until a time of their choosing. <a href="http://ipowerweb.com/">Ipowerweb</a> has been a pretty good hosting provider but…
