Actually owning a brand is something I never heard of. Down here in Texas you register your brand for 10 years, In Texas brands have to be re-registered every 10 years. Brand re-registration always begins in the year ending with a 1. For example, the next brand re-registration period begins...

I hip brand, backwards R against D, Down here they call that RD connected. I cut out 1/4 inch x 1/4 inch of iron at the top of the R and bottom, also do the same on the D. Gives places for the blood to pass to the center and not fall out and blotch.

Here in South Texas we have finally gotten over a 5 year drought. So far this year we have gotten 49.9 inches. Last week we got 10 inches in 6 hours. Should be getting ready for the second cutting of hay, but still waiting to get the first one done. Will have high quantity but quality will be...

As for the breed that works, just about any of the common breeds will do good. I would check around the area and see what other people have. Might even go to the local sale barn and see what it going thru and what sells good in the area. All depends on what the order buyers are looking for. Of...

Silver: My kind of phone. Denny: That is why i carry a pencil in my shirt pocket and a knife in my pocket in case the pencil gets dull. Sandhiller: Nope, it is in the same pocket as my calculator. The calculator is what has ruined my math abilities.

Our kids decided we needed a cell phone just in case, so they got us one on their family plan. We told them we wanted the most user friendly and easiest to use, preferably with a rotary dial on it. Ended up with a flip, that is as far as we will go. For the rest, we still use a note book and...

As usual, the Sandhill Cranes migrated down here this winter. I set here watching them eat my winter grass and tell the wife that I wish they would go back to Nebraska. Also ask her if they were worth eating. She said we weren't going to find out. Then yesterday I found out that they aren't...

Sandhiller: My last post should have said positive displacement pump.

Sandhiller: Thanks for the information. I didn't know they made a direct displacement pump. I believe that would be the way to go. Will check it all out.

Sandhlller: Sounds like you have experience with solar pumps. I am looking at a rotary pump. Our water table lets us put a pump down around 80 ft or so. Down here in South Texas we have plenty of Sunshine. I have a 7400 gallon storage tank I will be pumping into. It is a cylinder 9 ft x 15 ft...

Big Muddy, Yep, that is where I got the information from. Was hoping he would see my posting and reply as to how it is doing. Have a neighbor that wants to replace his windmill with solar. Looing at getting a solar myself. Sandhiller: You are right on the total wattage of the panels. From what...
