Invest in yourself first. Sign up and attend a Ranching for Profit school before you buy any livestock and have any excuse to say you don't have the time. At first blush it seems expensive, however, you'll change your mind the first day you are there. http://www.ranchmanagement.com/ It is a...

Perhaps Rancherfred, you missed the word "SOME" in my post regarding those that reject Christ. I didn't paint everybody with a broad brush, so please don't do the same with me. The originating question on this thread was about Pharo Bulls, not about whether or not to do business with any one...

So two people had a theological difference in opinion and feelings got hurt? No surprise. A simple look in a phone book or newspaper under the heading of church directory will give testament to the differences of opinion on theological issues. My point is what does this, running out of free...

My neighbors recently had their home and property up for sale. It was priced fairly high for the area, or so I thought, but since their property adjoins mine, and their property and home is similar to mine, I was hopeful for them and myself as well that they would find a buyer that was willing...

I think that just because one person might be struggling with a holistic approach to ranching doesn't mean it doesn't merit looking into it further. Increased profits per acre via sustainable methods should be attractive to any rancher. Ranching always seems to be one of the slowest evolving...

One of my pet peeves is the CRP payments. Lots of young and beginning farmers/ranchers out there that can't find pasture to rent to save their lives yet everywhere you look there is idle pasture and crop ground filling up with weeds, brush and cedars. There are ALOT of folks that are sucking...

True story; The ranch I was working on in Colorado had a three legged Border Collie named "Lucky". He lost one of his hind legs falling off the back of a pick up. Anyway, whenever he was out and about marking his territory, he would lift his remaining hind leg and do his peeing wilst doing a...

Where in Missouri are you located RA ? I'm located just north across the Iowa line near Centerville. bart.

And avoid student loans, no sense in starting life in debt.

It's so cold my mule was farting snow flakes ;)

Maybe a mental evaluation would be in order. Glad the owner got his property back. †

When I lived in S.W. Florida, we got calls all the time, mostly because our phone number was on our gates. Most of the time, the cattle weren't ours . Almost always, the cattle had wandered out because the fences were cut by people on ATV's and 4wd trucks wanting to either go fishing or play...
