    Horse Trailer recommendations

    Well I finally bought a trailer. After looking at a bunch of different trailers all over the area, I settled on a 1997 Sundowner Horizon II. It's a steel four horse slant load gooseneck with a small dressing room. 7' tall 6.5' wide. It has a little surface rust but looks well made to me. I...

    TICKS

    I've already had four of 'em on me this spring. I hate the buggers. It takes forever for the bites to stop itching.

    4 wheeler

    I've had 2 Polaris Rangers. The first was a 2002 2x4 with locking rear differential. I was a hard working machine for years and held up well - 'til it was stolen. So, we bought another 500cc 4x4 to replace it in 2008. Still running it. Few months back we got a call from the local sheriff's...

    Horse Trailer recommendations

    I'm in the market for a replacement horse trailer. Sold my old one cause it wasn't tall enough for my new draft horse. Ya'll got any recommendations on brands? I've been told to stay away from Ponderosa. Looking for a four horse stock style. I had a bumper pull before but might be persuaded...

    Oilskin Slickers

    Outback trading company makes a drover oilskin that you can add a wool vest to. They even have an outlet store online outbackoutlet where they are on sale. I have one without the vest and it sheds water well. There are other manufacturers from australia that makes them but they are quite a bit...

    Armyworms

    Last week was around 100 everyday with the humidity putting it at 107 heat index. We had a little "cold front" come through yesterday putting us down in the chilly range of 94 with the humidity at 89 percent. We've been having August weather now since the end of May. Not much rain to speak of...

    Armyworms

    Anybody else out there being invaded by armyworms? Boy have they done a number on some of my smaller pastures. They seem to move in nd strip a place in the span of a couple days. I try to keep my chickens on alert and and hope these terribly hot SC days will bake em!

    kawasaki mule

    We're on our second ranger. Still would be using the first if some lousey basserd hadn't stolen it. Ranger 1 was a 2x4. With a locking rear diff we only got it stuck if we lodged it up on a stump -usually. Bought a 4x4 the next time. Has much better clearance and has never been stuck. Body...

    Opinions wanted. Pasturing gelding with mare

    Well it's been 13 weeks now since I put the two together and she is still kickin his butt. She was living with 4 mules before and maybe they're just smarter than my gelding. Or, maybe he just can't quite get the message that she is in charge but she sure has given him some good wounds. She bit...

    Opinions wanted. Pasturing gelding with mare

    Thanks for the advice. It's been so danged hot, humid, and dry here that I'll admit that plowing and riding have been real far down my list of late. It's a shame when you have to pray for a tropical storm for rain:) and when 95 is considered a cool day. Hopefully august will be less like august...

    Opinions wanted. Pasturing gelding with mare

    What do y'all think about pasturing a gelding with a mare? I had a saddlebred gelding living alone and recently bought a Suffolk mare. Things have been back and forth with them. Mostly the mare is in charge unless she's in season. She has given him some pretty good bites and is usually willing...

    Getting a starving dog to gain weight

    Try nutracal or a similar high calorie supplement. It is available at Jeffers or other cataloga like valley vet. I worked for six months at a local animal shelter and we used it to help orphaned and malnourished animals.

    McCall Saddles

    I'm on week number nine now still waiting for my saddle. I've been waiting so long I lost my mind and bought another horse in the mean while. Finally got that draft horse I've been wanting for ages. She's a nine year old Suffolk punch about 17 hands and 1800 lbs. I better start saving to feed...

    Which size box scraper to buy?

    Curly I'd go with the smaller size. Sometimes it's good to have a more manueverable implement that you can get into tighter spaces. Usually you would go with at least the width of the tractor itself. I've got a kubota 6800 And have had really good results with it. No problems in the six years...

    Thanks for the responses. I'm glad to hear the positive reactions. I ordered the lady pendleton in the semi quarters bars. We tried one on him and it seemed to fit him perfectly. I guess I was a bit nervous after having spent such a Chunk of change. I feel reassured and am looking forward to...

    Thanks! I ordered it 2 weeks ago so only 14 more weeks to go before it should be here. It's hard to wait that long but I guess I'll just try to keep myself occupied with a little orchard work- or maybe I'll finally get started on that fencing I've been putting off for so long.
