plenty of civil war history around me. I live in west knoxville and a small battle was fought here, The battle of Campbells Station. We used to have a re-enactment (sp?) every other year in a big field where the battle took place. Now it's a putt-putt course and driving range, go figure...

We never see any temps like that down this way. Makes you really wonder how tough those cows really are. Ice and snow covered and came right out of it. BBBBBBRRRRRRRRRRRR thats just too cold for me. Good looking stock and it is obvious that you are doing it right. It just marvels me to see how...
