For fighting, I found shorthorns were terrible... ALWAYS fights breaking out over nothing.. YOU ATE THE LEAF I WANTED!.. The Gelbvieh seem to fight less, they don't care if they get pushed around, they'll just stand there and take it, keeping their head in the feed bunk

I had the opposite problem... the Angus influence made them terribly hard on fences, the Gelbvieh behave themselves... Same experience with Herfs though.

here's why I can't have anything nice! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Tid3iCFRJ8

Always love hearing what other people are doing and how it works out. We started off with a bunch of HORRIBLE mutts that had problems galore.. though now after 25 years or so I think the bloodlines of all the worst offenders has been taken care of and I can start focusing on some of the...

Newsflash, Agriculture provides 100% of the food on the table.. Some people just don't seem to get that. They also don't seem to get the fact that water that is used doesn't vanish, it comes back down as rain somewhere to be used again.

I'd like to add.. Alberta drivers in BC.. good lord, those people have never seen a bend in the road and slow down to 30mph for each one

145 lbs is what I weigh now, and give or take about 10lbs is what I've weighed for the last 20 years. I eat well, but whether I work hard or don't work at all doesn't make much of a difference to my weight.

That reads more like a holiday memoir than military training! :P... Movies, shooting the breeze at the Kracker box, and writing letters... I passed though a little bit of the same areas, I worked in the Fresno and Modesto areas, and when I'd have a day off (rare) I'd take a trip to the...

I'm bitter about that too.. and prices here were better than in Ontario. What I know is that whoever made the profit on it back then didn't save for rainy days, and they'll go tits up or be asking for handouts when times get just a little bit rougher for them. No, I'm not all that sorry for the...

I was just looking at my market report 6wts averaged $2.30/lb ($1380) 7wts averaged $2/lb ($1400) 8wts averaged $1.60 ($1280) So for the 7wts you got $1400, for the 8wts you got $1280, or basically you lost $120.. you can't sharpen your pencil fine enough with those kind of price...

I'm kinda glad there's been a 'correction' now rather than another year of record, stupid high prices where packers would shut down, and then suddenly we're all really screwed.. What I know for sure is *SOMEONE* is making money right now.. it might not be you or I though.. I think a steady...

Friend of mine has a Canam commander 1000, 125 hp.. I tuned his arse in my dually on dirt roads... Really expensive machine that's worth more than my truck! It was one of those "Hold my beer and watch this" deals

Long but enjoyable read, thanks for sharing it!

I put the seat of a Mazda Rx7 in mine.. it's a sorta deep bucket, a little harder to get in and out of, but SO much nicer to drive

They're essential equipment... especially on a dodge.. I'd recommend getting the air compressor to go with it (though you may want to shop around to get a deal on those) Our old Chevy 1 ton doesn't need the airbags.. it has 16 leafs on each side in the back.. If there was ever a truck that rode...

Thanks. About poking the bear after only 2 posts.. When you want to get a dog.. or car, or whatever.. do you wait until you've had it for a year before you see if it will do what you want it to? or do you test it first :) I know Tamarack from CT, and I'm sure there's a few others... Turns...

I've been lurking here for a very long time... I'm just getting tired of the forced political correctness of CT.. I may show up here more often as my frustration grows.. I gotta yap about cattle somewhere!

All the points made there are totally true.... So when is the black hide fad ending?
