Heard any dirt on soy?

[Cal]

The tale end of a radio interview with a Dr. (on PBS ) made me wonder about this. I hadn't really heard anything negative about eating soy products before, but did a couple of searches and I was really surprised at the controversy out there. What do you all know about any of this? I'll post just a couple of links I found.

Cal, PBS????????? You must be really bored. Or is calving going to well.???
I didn't see any hard facts. Just chicken little. Got your fertilizer spread on your wheat yet???

[Cal]

Hey katrina, yup, occasionally bored, and maybe some vindictive thoughts about those goody-two-shoes fake hamburger eaters

Calving's going well, the last near 24 hours has been a bitch, barns all near full, hope this snow lets up, much bodily harm to anyone who tries to take our 4 wheelers . The fertilizer went down beside the wheat when it was planted, or should we call it White Gold. Okay, rested a couple minutes, time to go check cows again.

So how about you guys, all going well?

No snow at all here, Cal. Did you get a bunch?

Husbands brother lives at Buffalo, Wyoming and works for the Wyoming Highway Dept. and I guess there is alot of black ice around there. Pretty bad highway conditions. He runs a snowplow and is out in it. He has been hit before by vehicles and we worry about him.

Just came in and we've got 4 to 5 inches of good wet powder. Any you don't want Cal, just send on back up to us.

Cal, if we can just hang on until tomorrow, it sounds like the weather will moderate a bit. We probably have about eight inches of new snow, and the moisture is definitely welcome. We are sure enjoying having a night man, though Peach Blossom and I just got in from feeding bucket calves. We have five at the moment, and she thinks they should be fed three times a day. Twice would be enough for me, but she is more kind-hearted.

We are over the half-way point on calving, so things have slowed down a little bit, but still the barns are about full. We have one old snakey cow that I was not going to bring in with the heavies, but the last time we sorted, I brought her along knowing the weather was going to take a turn for the worse. She is calving now, and the night man and I just put her in a corral where there is some protection. Hate to put her in the barn, as she would probably pulverize the place.

We haven't joined the four-wheeler set, yet, but I did get a used Polaris Ranger six-wheeler. Thought it might be useful for fencing in the spring, and it has been handy around the calving lot. It's kind of a noisy contraption, and it sure doesn't have a radio or a heater , but at least it has a roof and a windshield.

Keep on having fun. Spring is just around the corner.

Man! Next thing you know ol' Soap is gong to be wearing a seed corn cap and wanting advice on how and when to plant wheat!

Besides, a "ranger" is kind of a cowboy sounding deal.

I like that outfit, Soapweed. We don't have 4 wheelers but I kinda thought I might want one of those or a 'Gator.

I rode in one in the mountains of Western Montana last summer. It was a lot of fun letting the wind blow through your hair.

We had dogs with us and they got in several fights... Interesting when you got off to open a gate and a dog just got whipped out of the back and got in your front seat. They darn sure didn't want to hafta go back with the other dogs. Made it a tug-o-war and the other lady and I were laughing too hard to get much done very fast.

I've got two Suzuki Samuri's,(basicly a good copy of the old original International Jeeps) that I use for spraying and fencing. Both cost $2000, when I bought them. Older one I've had for 6 or 7 years and the newer one I bought last summer. They go alot faster than any other 4 or 6 wheeler and get around in tight places good, are great on fuel economy and they have removable tops with heaters and AC, when the AC works. If not, you can go fast enough to get a good breeze.

And they are great for bulldoggin turkeys, out in the pasture. Just ask Jinglebob Jr.

Oh, and they have a good rollbar system, tho' I haven't tested them out yet.
