    Northern Rancher

    Haven't been on here in the last week, lost my mother who fought her battle with pancreatic cancer. NR was an original and it sure is hard losing an icon like himself. I don't post often but follow this board and consider it a family. Prayers out to his family and friends.

    Chiangus

    Considering using Chiangus bull this time and wondering what anyone that has used them thought. Good and bad. What kind of cows did you use them on and what do they knick well with. Disposition of bulls and their calves.

    Eastern Livestock troubles

    situation. I have heard that the Joplin yard was hit for about 7.5 mil from 3 sales. Sounded pretty bad for their future. Supposed to be another sale in maybe Georgia that was stuck for about 4 mil. Bad times.

    Eastern Livestock troubles

    Eastern pretty well controls the markets in Ky and it could put several yards out of business. Tommy Gibson has had some big problems in the past but this sounds to be the granddaddy of em all.

    Blue tongue

    That's what I get for typing while watching tv. It is EHD but while I was watching the news they were reporting in S Indiana, a herd of cattle with what is being suspected as Blue Tongue. The reports that you quoted were in Aug. and the deer deaths have greatly increased since then.

    Large numbers of whitetail deer in Western Ky. have died this fall and many cattle are having occurences with this also ( lose couple hundred pounds and walking very gingerly as well as dehydrated, usually do not die).
