    montana on fire

    A problem we have is that fire's on the forest can burn for months. And when they come out on private land--then we get to deal with it. http://www.greatfallstribune.com/story/news/2017/09/04/when-alice-creek-fire-hit-volunteers-hit-back/630981001/

    I was in Merritt, B.C. about 10 yrs ago. Cousin ran Hereford cows, had sold them all, bought logging iron. Bug kill was horrible--he said 'it's a gold rush--get the gold while it's worth something" (bugs are hardest on white wood, sawmills want it within a couple of yrs) About the only...

    Question on seeding alfalfa into grass stand

    short and sweet method: broadcast some alfalfa--THEN--(you want the hoof action) put as many cows on it as you can find and eat grass to the dirt as quick as you can. cows off, water on. I'd maybe use an older variety that would hang in there, like ladak.

    You're welcome, FH~~ Here's a video of a good ol' boy from downtown Sand Springs area. Sand Springs is basically a wide spot, the guy who had the store liked to fly and would deliver you parts with his plane. I stopped there maybe 15 yrs ago, shelves were pretty much empty, his widow was...

    It's over 300,000 acres now, calling it 5% contained. Petroleum county is one of smallest population--maybe 400?--and poorest counties in the U.S. Other small counties have looked at them to see how they operate. 'County manager'--low overhead, people wear many hats. Looks desolate maybe...

    " I think the reduction in their flight zone can create some quite dangerous....." EXACTLY!! They are not my buddies or pets. I want to be the alpha dog--if I step in, they step back. I don't want them wild, scared or fearful. I do want a healthy respect and I want their flight zone to be...
