    I have not had a reply from emails in over a year - - - he had my phone number as well - - - hopefully he has lost his contact info - - - I keep hoping to see something from him on this site as I'm sure he could remember how to get on here even if he lost all the other info

    fescue foot and other pics

    I feed "fescue mineral" when the cattle want to stand in the water - - - about 4 months of the year in central Indiana - - - If not the cattle will stay in the water and not eat and lose weight in grass that is belly high - - - don't know if it would work for you or not - - - Purina sells a lot...

    Good Sunday Mornin'

    I wrote this several years ago as an outline for a talk I was ask to give. The touch of the Master I must start at the first meeting I had with these cattle. I had not had cattle on the farm for about 20 years but now had time and wanted a small herd. I purchased 15 registered Charolis cows...

    Feeding hay

    I have always had a problem - - - it seems the cattle always leave about a foot of hay in the bottom of the feeders - - - I will leave it and put another bale a few yards away but then they leave hay in the bottom of it. This hay looks and smells good to me but they refuse it. With a small...

    70 ?

    I could not find much help yesterday so I had a 72 year old neighbor drive the tractor and this 70 year old fart along with a 50 year old neighbor stacked almost 800 bales on wagons. My wagons are 9' wide and 18' long so if you stack 6 wide and 6 high with a 4 wide tie you get 40 bales to a run...

    Bit the dust!

    Many of you might remember I kept my old 1996 S10 ZR2 extended cab pick-up as a UTV It would go any where my son's Ranger or his Gator would go except between close trees and was a good all around vehicle for checking cattle and chores around the farm. The ZR2 package gave it limited slip in...

    The touch of the master

    I posted this about 12 years ago but thought some might like it again and some might just like it. The touch of the Master I must start at the first meeting I had with these cattle. I had not had cattle on the farm for about 20 years but now had time and wanted a small herd. I purchased 15...

    What a differance a cow makes!

    Follow up - - - now that Old Meany has been gone I cannot believe how much easier the entire herd is to handle - - - walk up to any cow so far and check sex on the new born calf, tag it and walk them calmly to the gate to the next farm. I should have gotten rid of that old rip after the first...

    My take

    Sorry if I upset you but while not in daily use the " machine gun " was in use in France almost 100 years before we became a country. the Puckle Gun was patented in 1717. Lewis and Clark made their exploration mostly due to the inplyed threat that they would use a silent semi automatic rifle if...

    My take

    When I first went on the Sheriff's Dept. in 1974 we carried on commercial aircraft all the time - - - and there were no problems - - - the American people are not all dumb - - - if you remember there were 4 aircraft on 9-11-2001 and the people on the fourth aircraft learned what was happening...

    My take

    Thanks, I'm glad it is spreading - - - I have gone back over it slowly and corrected spelling and grammer. I am trying to put together a coherent letter for the local superintendent to present to the school board. John Farquhar helped me get my thoughts concise. This is a very rough draft - -...

    My take

    I am trying to put together a coherent letter for the local superintendent to present to the school board. John Farquhar helped me get my thoughts concise. This is a very rough draft - - - the facts are all verifiable but I might not have them presented as clearly as I want. When...
