    Twice in one day

    .....is too many times to get dumped off of one horse. First time probably my fault, I thought I was being clever. This mare just hates the bit and fights it all the time (don't see wolf teeth :???: ) so today tried a hackamore. Turns out I should have introduced her to the bosal a little more...

    Heeling Horse I'm Working On

    But a word to the wise: If you wash your horse be sure to hang to dry :shock: Kidding aside, this is my daughter's pony, and in true pony fashion he can be a miserable little bugger and needs the occasional tune up. Should have got her a full sized horse but they are hard to find, and I...

    Calving is starting to ramp up. Is it spring calving or winter calving at this time of year? Mrs. Silver snapped a couple pics today, so for better or for worse here they are. When we have need to pull a calf we always do it with the mother standing up. She is squeezed sideways, and pushed...

    Herniated Navel

    Anyone ever had any luck treating a herniated navel? Had a bull calf born this morning and its insides are bulging out through the naval. I've never had any luck with this but thought maybe some on here had. I put it back in and put some stitches in, but suspect that without stitching the muscle...

    Local Wins Silver

    This silver medal also makes a nice story. His team mate stepped aside to let him skate in the event because he knew Denny had a better shot at a medal. I saw this video on FB and thought I'd share. It shows a bit of my town and some of the area...

    Tractor Tires

    Has anyone bought a new rear tire for a tractor lately? I needed to replace one yesterday, a 20.8 x 38 rear tire. Tire: $1,560, wet change: $150, tube $190.25. Throw in the obligatory misc. shop supplies and taxes and it totalled up to $2,027 dollars or so. Sure hope the calf prices stay up for...

    My Niece

    My niece is 15 yrs old and takes ballet at the Royal Winnipeg Ballet School. We are all very proud of her as she has really committed herself to this since early childhood and has pushed herself to a very high level. I thought this pic (which I did not take) was quite exceptional and so I...

    Today is Remembrance Day

    A huge THANK YOU to those who have served or are serving. I appreciate all we have thanks to you. A huge THANK YOU to those who gave all. I have not the words to describe what your sacrifice means to us all.

    Obama and Ailes on the same page?

    Republicans may be divided on how to handle the crisis in Syria, but the president of their favorite news network has made it clear he’s 100% in favor of toppling the Assad regime — though he has a somewhat unorthodox plan to get it done. In Zev Chafets’ 2012 book Roger Ailes Off Camera the...

    Thanks Barry!

    When the hand-wringing over President Barack Obama’s snub on the Keystone XL pipeline stops, Canadians will realize he has handed us the biggest gift we could want: genuine economic sovereignty For most of the past century Canadian foreign policy has struggled, futilely, to resist the...

    Hey Leanin' H!

    I was thinking of you and your fences this morning while I was building some braces. I guess it's probably the leanin H shape this one has. I guess these northern cattle must be bigger than what you guys are raising down south, because this strain brace seem a little bigger than what you build...
