    If you can get your mitts on Centennial Rye Whiskey I would definitely recommend it.

    Hunting Season

    That's the beauty of drawing a farmland moose tag in Saskatchewan! We were only a mile and a half away from a yard with a loader. Luckily I'm a very charming individual and they loaded it up for me too! Then asked me to take a few elk home with me too! :lol:

    Hunting Season

    The regular season might be sooner, I'm not too sure. There is the early season (October) and the late season in November or December, I'm not too sure. I didn't have to hunt that long :lol: He's a pretty tough old bull. Really chewy roasts, but man, they taste good. I shot him in a small bush...

    Hunting Season

    I never noticed he was that uneven until I had him on the wall in the basement. It wouldn't be so bad if he didn't break a big chunk off his one antler. I shot him in October, the second last day of the two week season. First moose we seen in going out every day for two weeks. Funny how that works

    Hunting Season

    Well, this is what I shot this year. I would have posted pics sooner, but I just got him back from the taxidermist. 50 inch spread, 152 gross and 141 net. He broke a chunk of bone off his left antler a few days before I shot him.

    jelled tractor , ranch pictures 12-21-2012

    We had a fender get torn off our brand new SP sprayer when the wheel magically fell off with under 100 hours on it. Said they'd warranty it, and took the old one. When we went go pick up the new one they said they sent it out and destroyed our old one but would be happy to sell us a new one. An...

    Making Sausage

    I cooked it in the slow cooker, it was pretty chewy yet :lol: We're looking at getting a Traeger (smoker/bbq). They should be nice on there. We did some side pork on one not too long ago, I'm sure my arteries are clogged and that they took probably a year off my life span, but dam, that was...

    Making Sausage

    What do you do with really tough roasts? We don't have a pressure cooker and they sure aren't tender. Got drawn for farmland moose just north of home. We were looking for a couple yearling bulls but all we seen in two weeks was this 48 incher. He dressed out at 635lbs on the rail the next day.

    Making Sausage

    We've got plenty of roasts and steaks, and LOTS of trimmings too. I applied to be in school for this fall, but I was too late and the crop tech course was full so I stuck around the farm. Trying to convince grandpa to take some time off, I finally got him to come out to the swather at 9 and be...

    Making Sausage

    Well, I got all our deer cleaned, butchered and in the freezer. Dropped my moose off at the taxidermists. Now it's the time of year to make lots of sausage with Grandpa. (1 moose, 2 elk, and 4 deer) Usually we get pre mixed spices from the butcher shop in town and use Ma and Pa's (My great...

    Cattle Handling Facilities

    Well, Grandpa has decided that Dad and I have too much time on our hands :roll: We're going to build a handling facility in one of our pastures. We were looking at round pens, to avoid using corners (we have had some crazies come through and we are trying to reduce the amount of stress we put...

    silage vs haylage

    Silver, we used our NH 664 to make bales to wrap a few years ago. It had its flaws but it worked very well. The only real problem we had other then plugging it every once in a while was since the brome/alfalfa was so bushy, every half hour you had to pull off what got wrapped around the...

    cell phones, which one is better?

    I'm fairly hard on phones, so is my brother. He had the Sanyo Pro 700 with the Military specs, he swore by that phone. Dad Did too, but they discontinued it (thats what they told him at the store). So he got an Iphone witht he ballistic case. He likes the iphone, but would trade back for a brand...

    How's Haying?

    We always swath our peas. Use a swath roller. make sure to watch for shelling and don't push it if it's tough, you wreck stuff when you do that. They will need to dry out for a few days if there's lots of weeds but our 9070 ate them up last year with green thistles in the swath yet. I don't...

    How's Haying?

    How's haying going for everyone? We have 300 acres baled and another 100 cut sitting in the rain :roll: When we were cutting the first field we got a call about some stuff we usually do but they got someone else to do it. The guys they hired were screwin around and not showing up so guess who...

    No music so sweet . . .

    We're in the same boat as North Ridge. Standing water in our canola again this year, have been getting about two inches a week. The canola that is there is good though. It will be nice to have a respectable crop. In the last four or five years we've gotten alot of water.

    Is any one as excited to hunt this year as I am??

    Nopw, not me! I've just been too busy spraying and cutting hay to be around here too much, custom work is keeping me just as busy if not busier then farming usually does. It's not dry here, but we've been getting enough rain. Lots of potholes in the fields and lots of sprayer ruts. I got drawn...

    tub grinders

    The feedlot I used to work at had a haybuster and they really liked it, they wouldnt use anything else. They did 30 bales two or three times a week I think, sometimes they were green, cut and baled the same day. They ran it off an 8670 NH I think, and the only troble with it as air conditioning...
