North central South Dakota. I just found it interesting that at the same time your grandpa was trying to buy a light plant that my grandpa and all his neighbors were trying to sell theirs. Would be interesting hearing what year electricity came to different farms and ranches across the...

He probably could have gotten a good deal on a light plant up here in 1949 as the REA had just came through the year before.

Long Range isn't really all that new anymore. This will be the third year that I will use it. I only give it to the first calf heifers, yearlings and calves though. I seem to be getting a higher percentage of first calvers bred back in the first cycle with it. The vet sure thinks highly of it.

You must not get South Dakota type of winds there. That tank would have been in North Dakota today if it was here Tuesday.

One would think that in all your years of exploits, bragging and being a regular blow-hard you would have heard of someone volunteering for the draft.

That version was so bad I had to listen to the Tom T. Hall version just to get the Bobby Bare version erased from my memory.

Does anyone have a rock roller in your neighborhood? If you push the rocks into the ground they won't break your windows anymore. After running a disc mower I would hate to go back to running a sickle bar mower.

Why anybody in this day and age would complain about someone working beyond ridiculous.

i wish it was April 7th already. I just hope my lots don't look like that on the 7th of April.

Did you get to talk to Ryan's dad much? He sure is an interesting guy to talk to.

There is no reason that the packers can't pay the inspectors themselves. They already have to pay for the graders. They could knock the bids down on fats a buck a hundred and easily come up with enough cash to pay them. Instead the price of fats goes down every time the talk of furloughs comes...

Just what do these $963 bred heifers look like? I sold my tested opens in October for $1300 and some bred heifers in December for 1550. The only bred heifers selling that cheap around here are the feedlot heifers that sell as guaranteed open and then come back through the ring an hour later as...

Well since the Bison play in a dome I doubt if it would be too dramatic.

Around here the auctioneer introduces you before your calves sell. If you are sitting around any buyers they usually ask you questions about your calves. It would get kinda strange if I suddenly started to bid.

Still dry here. Last measurable precip was .10" on August 23.

Well they are only hauling 26 fats so that number is off too.

I always called it the Canada Thistle Recovery Program

The only problem is it is 283 days gestation. I usually start getting calves around day 265-270. I am usually a third done before day 283 rolls around.

Pot meet kettle...............

I would say you need to start going by a new gestation table. I turned out all of my bulls on July 1 last year. The first calf came Mar 26. By the old long due date that most calving books print I wasn't due til April 12. By that date I already had over 100 calves on the ground. Good thing...
