    cowhunters gator

    He was way wrong. Back when I was chasing skirts I got to work for one girl's daddy at a Gator Farm for a man named Grant Dunoway over in Felda, Florida. Even farm raised Gators will defend their nests and themselves, and once they grab hold of you their natural instinct is to start rolling...

    Castrating

    I was suprised at the number of you good folks that band. We started with banding, but for our small herd found that cutting them while we were branding and tagging during fall work-up seemed to work best for us and for the "volunteer help" we get from freinds. Never seems to be a shortage of...

    77 hours

    From one fabricator to another, that sure is an accomplishment to get finished with only 77 man hours invested. I'll bet there isn't any shop drawings for that either, just built from experience. Nice work, Denny. bart. <><

    I'll go ahead and put my bid in for Colorado, right where Ned Jr. hails from, just inside the front range. We've been going out there for years, even know some folks fairly well now. A couple of more years for the wife to get her Teaching Degree and then we can go and she can support my cow...

    Cows Shivering

    Went out to check cows this afternoon. Like everyone else, it has been an extremely cold week for us, but today was the worse. It started raining last night, and has been a steady light rain and drizzle all day, cold wind with it. Albeit, it is not near the extremes most of you experience...
