    Insurance costs

    I don't know why I have fire insurance other than the bank required it. The closest fire station is over 25 miles away. They would get here in time to save the foundation.

    Sold the calves.

    We had plenty of grass in the spring. Then it turned off hot and it all turned brown. After lightning struck it all turned black. Now I am wondering if we will have any grass at all this spring.

    A wee bit of rainfall

    I don't believe she has any. Those would be worn along with a dress. I can't remember the last time she wore a dress.

    A wee bit of rainfall

    My wife has been known to toss things that she either considers old or that haven't been used lately. I need to go look for them before the cold hits so if I need to get new ones I will have time.

    A wee bit of rainfall

    If I can't find them I will just move fast and not stand around outside.

    A wee bit of rainfall

    I lived on the coast for years. 27 is cold over there. Here it is just barely coat weather. If it does hit 10 next week I might have to break out my long handles if I can find them.

    A wee bit of rainfall

    Yep, we seem to be going into a normal pattern. The 10 day forecast has most days a high of 38 and a low of 20 with clear sunny skies. It varies a few degrees up or down. Next Saturday is forecast for the lowest with a high of 27 and a low of 10.

    A wee bit of rainfall

    It never rained until November. It has greened up some but it is less than an inch tall. Too short to tell what it is. Hopefully it is good grass and not cheat grass. Finally freezing at night with no precipitation in the forecast. I was talking to B about some of his cows pushing down the...

    Sold the calves.

    I think I started the bidding on them. But I quit when they got to $1900. I did that a lot on Wednesday. You had to have a wallet full to play that day. I got to sneak out with three cows that sold late as singles.

    Multimin taking place of sack mineral

    We use the MultiMin 2 times. New born calves get it and at weaning. Cows have been on a mineral program but B does it to his new born calves. He has been here a lot of years and does that to his calves so I follow the leader. At weaning the calves have just come off range where it is...

    Anyone hunt with hounds?

    I know there is 12 dogs. But I don't know the Corgi was in on this. But the Idaho Shag and 2 Shag/Border collie crosses were there. That leaves 8 Border Collies. I shot a Cougar across from my driveway a couple weeks later. A Chukar hunter shot one about a mile west of my place about the...

    Anyone hunt with hounds?

    One Sunday just after I got home from church the neighbor called. He said he had the world's stupidest cougar in a tree in his yard. Cat up a tree with Border Collies surrounding it. My theory is the cat spotted a dog in his yard and figured on dog for lunch. Only got surprised to find 12...

    Hello from The Windy Ridge Ranch in Texas

    I think there is a Windy Ridge ranch in most every state. I knew one in Washington. I looked it up on the Oregon brand book. There is a Windy Ridge LLC with a registered brand in Oregon.

    ?'s Regarding making branding iron and registration of brand

    I did mine last month. Here in Oregon it is $100 for 4 years. Last year they raised the cost of brand inspection at the sale. Costs more to keep those people working than it use to.

    How to sell cattle

    How many do you have to sell? If it is just a handful the sale yard is most likely your only option. Feedlots for the most part will want semi loads. Google feedlots in your state and surrounding states. I have seen feedlots listed by states before. I also know that is some states there are...

    Walk about cow

    Yes. She had a calf here. They both must have gone to Bridgeport. Where they went to the man has about 1,000 cows. The calf got recognized when they weaned. I got him back in late September. The cow must have blended in with their cows until they went to work the cows. Then they spotted...

    Walk about cow

    Last week I had a cow show up over in Bridgeport. That is about 15 miles from here by road and it is about 10 miles by road the other direction to where she was turned out. If she cut the corner and went in a straight line it is about 20 miles from A to B. I planned to take her to the sale...
