Steer planet used to be geared toward show cattle, both people who produced them as well as young people raising them, The shorthorn mafia hung out there as well, (it is amazing how people breeding the same breed of cattle could fight so much). Now, like this site, use is down, some of the...

It has been a while since I have posted anything, mainly it because I mostly come here to learn, I'm just a hobby farmer, with 4 cows, 2 of them are old and stay around for one reason, they were here when my grandson was here with us. His first word was Moo, all he ever wanted to do was go see...

"Excuses are patches that mend the garments of failure"

Beautiful poem, The females in my family seem to live forever, it is the men who leave to early. We lost my uncle several years ago, he was in his 50's, my cousin and I would make an annual trip up to his place in late fall to pick up a load of hay (he ran a 1800 acre alfalfa farm in Yerington...
