    Last American Cowboy

    I watched it and loved it- though being on at 10:00 pm is a bit hard for me ;) I liked that they didn't sugar coat it and just told it like it is. I look forward to watching it every week, if I can stay awake!

    !%#*& city people !!!!!

    JUST horrible. Time to put signs up. I would have gotten his license plate # too. He owes you. On this subject, I have seen an increase of IDIOTS thinking it's FUN to chase sheep. Check out youtube- you will see lots of it. I cannot imagine what I would have done- lots of screaming, that's...

    Border collie info update

    Just wanted to echo the "see the parents work" response. It is so important to see the parents work, and possibly other pups from the same cross (older). The best pedigree doesn't mean a lot when your dog is staring down the flaring nostrils coming at high speed to plow them over. These days...

    Bull drags Police Officers down street

    Jeez, imagine that, several men couldn't hold onto a 1400 lb bull... Would have loved to see them try ;) 1,400-pound bull drags officers down street PATERSON, New Jersey (AP) — Police say a 1,400-pound bull that escaped from a northern New Jersey slaughterhouse dragged officers with a lasso...

    looking for baking help....

    I make a KICK BUTT steak. Doesn't need marinade, or rubs. Even re-heats well (too much for one sitting). My methods (cook on med/low heat), sear well, and flip occasionally. Then, when almost done, stick it on a plate, cover with tin foil, and then a dish towel, and let it rest for at least...

    catching steers?

    I am happy to report that the catching of the steers went off without a hitch yesterday, and when they were released into my brother's field, there was a lead steer (if they exist) who was calm, and within 15 mins they were happily eating grass. I haven't gotten any phone calls to help catch...

    catching steers?

    Thanks- I got a call this morning that we are trying again. Owner has them trained to follow a bucket loader with grain into the smaller paddock, and he has a chute. I will be there if needed, but as others mentioned- keep my distance so as to reduce the stress.

    That man's tell the story. Thanks for that. And, thank him for being part of the fabric of our country.

    catching steers?

    Yeah- a good start is to get them in the 200 ft/70 ft paddock- the present owner, that is, and set up a loading chute- with just the owner and food- I hope that can be worked out. I know about bringing in unknown folks to stressed stock... Well, let's see what happens...

    catching steers?

    Thanks everyone- only the deposit has been paid. The current owner "loves" his animals, so may not be amenable to dogs- even trained ones :roll: I think he is keen on selling my brother a mean one too- which I say no to, but I am not signing the check. My other question is, once we get them...

    catching steers?

    My brother has bought three angus steers. Problem is, they won't be caught. Need suggestions on how to get it done. They spent 2 hours yesterday messing around with this. Apparently the guy who he bought them from fed them that morning and thought the bait would work anyhow. Then there's...

    enjoyable read

    Anyone here read the book entitled "Big Horses, Good Dogs, Straight Fences" by Mark Rashid? Just pulled it back off the shelf for a re-read- I enjoyed it a lot.

    The Tough Breaks

    I agree with not allowing the dogs around near calving, but when you have to work on an animal, it helps to have another set of eyes around. Good stock dogs will not STOP a really MAD cow or any other animal, they will distract it enough for the person to get the heck out of the way. That's...

    The Tough Breaks

    Have had back issues for years. Had a friend's mother had her neck broken by a ram- and also, her shoulder was paralyzed. She had turned her back on the thing. Not sure how you feel about dogs, but I can assure you, if my Kelpie had been there, she would have had your wife's back. Good...

    CBS early show

    My grandfather ate 6 eggs for breakfast, along with toast, and of course corn flakes and goat milk for most of his life. He had the best cholesterol of anyone he knew. There are lots of veggies where I am. How boring is life- when you don't allow yourself to eat so many wonderful things.

    Good dog

    Hee hee. Every week I make a nice sirloin steak- turns out extremely good, and there is always extra for the dogs. But, for this little gal, just working sheep MORE is her reward. So, we went back out the next day, and she got to do some nice forcing/pushing/holding which is exactly what she...

    Good dog

    About braggin'- weeell, I can say that my dog sure ain't perfect- not at all. But, it's sorta like a kid in school. They usually come home with okay grades, but then, when they bring home an A+, well, that's reason for celebration! Didn't know about the win at Red Bluff, but, then again...
