    Fuel prices near you- Thanks Biden

    I fully support not buying a cup of oil from Russia. But to go cow-tow to Venezuela or the Middle East for oil is insane. Open the Keystone pipe line!!! Take away the ban on leases for our own wells. These idiots cannot tie their own shoes!!!!! Saw diesel for $4.99 today. It was $3.89 last week...

My brother and I did CPR til help arrived but they couldn’t save him. He was my hero and one of my very best friends. He lived a wonderful life of 82...

    Hormones during calving

    Had a cow calve and she always gets spun up for three of four days after she calves. She is a fine mother but she will stomp a mud hole in your guts if ya get to close to her calf. It’s funny how different cows can be at calving. This Bally faced cow mellows right out at about day 5. Y’all have...

    Calving heifers

    After much thought and consternation I came up with a grand plan for efficiently calving all my 1st calf heifers in as short of a time as possible. It required a great deal of research and scientific study. I’ve watched on this very site as you all have worked to shorten your calving seasons and...

    Our turn

    The super secret goomboo bug made a return trip to the H’s. Littlest H had it a long ways back and only had really mild symptoms. Mrs H is fighting it this time around. She had a bad fever at 103 Sunday but it has moderated some. Bad cough but O2 staying above 95 so far. I make her drink so much...

    Snow on the mountain

    The old desert has been a mighty dry place for a long time. And while drought is a part of life in this country, we also have a decent winter occasionally to increase the hope that we can make it another few years. Coming home from the north the Sheeprock mountains look mighty fine to my eye...

    Adios my wonderful friend

    Gus was our dog. We got him when he was just a pup. The kids were little and they grew up together. It’s been 13 years and he’s been the best dog ever. He’d ride the four wheeler with me wherever I went. He barrel raced with my daughter as part of a talent show when she was still in elementary...
