TX Tibbs - your photos are great! that little one is just adorable...what kind of dog is it? Corgi mix??

The greys are not the favored color in this breed. In the purebred shows, I think the chestnut color is the most favored, followed by black, bay and the seal brown. But the dapple grey is my favorite. We don't participate in the shows---just trail ride whenever the chance arises. Actually...

Here's my pearl. Her color reminded me of a black pearl. She's 4 yrs old in this photo. She's the only horse I have ever found that I could ride 6+ hours and not have an aching back or knee. The cadillac ride - purebred Peruvian Paso. I've been told that the dapple grey will eventually...

Viewpoint: We are facing a severe survival test By Joe Baker, Senior Editor Back This is the winter of our discontent and also of our discomfort. Our wake up call has arrived. U.S. News, in a recent article analyzing the energy outlook, predicts the next several months will test our...

We are sure hungry for greenery around here. Our normal rain for the year is a little over 20 inches...and we are about 10 inches short this year. It's very very tough on pasture,bushes,trees,etc to go into such cold weather with the soil dry down past the subsoil. Our chill factor was more...

I have been reading a discussion board of energy and petro traders/investors since 1998. In the first few years, 99% of the discussion was about investments, energy-insider stuff,etc. Since 2001 more and more emphasis has been on the concept of "peak oil", i.e. the depletion of fossil fuels...

I'm wondering how it would feel if we had a "grandchildren" category and no one voted for my grandchild. Logically, it should not matter; but.............. Well, it would not matter---we are all grown-ups; right????

That red heeler on the bale of hay looks exactly like my Lucy---smile and all!

I like all of them.

The year/rain sure does make a difference. Here's a photo of a 10 yr old registered cow, Petunia. In the average(read:dry) year she will weigh about1150 to 1250. The year this picture was taken we had a nice summer; seemed like it rained an inch or so every 3 weeks. She weighed 1385...see the...

Ava Doty lives in Walters, Okla; I'm acquainted with several of her family. Very nice folks. She is the lady related to Quannah Parker.

The Comanche tribe is headquartered in SW Oklahoma...with many, many tribal members in this area. They are doing pretty well with their casino and bingo halls now. the casting director swept through this area when they were looking for extras for the movie The Last of the Mohigians. They...

Yes, the heifer came with the cow--she was a couple of months old when we got her. She is bred now to have her first calf next spring. We had thought about flushing the old cow, but she is really really nervous in a chute...but likes to be curry combed or back-scratched out in the pasture. Must...

When we bought her, she was open but was raising a heifer calf - photo below. She seemed to have plenty of milk & the heifer grew very well.

Here's a photo of a 16 yr old bred cow - Bonnie Sue. We liked her so much that we bought her as an open 14 yr old(a leap of faith!). She has a terrific hindquarter, and her back is as wide as a circus horse. Her calf is due in the spring---hope it looks just like her.
