Well I am sorry that your fence is down. Ours too. We were ground zero for Irma and it went right over the top of us. While it wasn't the most powerful storm to hit us, it was a long one. The hurricane and tropical storm force winds lasted for over 6 hours. Trees are down all over the...

For us it is usually a tree falling on a gate. It never falls on the barbed wire next to the gate, it hits the gate square. Gates are no match for 50 foot oaks.

Looks great. We had a very dry beginning of summer. Almost no rain in July which is usually one of our wettest months. The grass grew very slowly. Rain has picked up now and the herd is picking up quickly. The calf crop is looking good. In another month we ship them out to you guys as they...

I don't get it???

Just be careful about switching brands, I think I heard that Vermeer actually makes some of the equipment for Deere and other brands. You'd actually be right back and buying a Vermeer.

On the news this morning was a story that the Turnpike in south Florida was closed in both directions due to a cattle trailer overturning. This happened just north of Okeechobee near Yeehaw Junction. Several years ago I was buying some calves from the Hayman 7-11 Ranch in Keenansville right...

Merry Christmas from sunny Florida. Future home of the National Finals :) .

That's unbelievable. My wife and I were watching round 10 and talking about that it might be fun to go to Vegas and watch it live and maybe see some of the shows. Now there's a chance it will be in my backyard. Not sure how you could make it pay in the O'rena, it's a rather small venue for...

I got a Bounty paper towel ad. That's pretty boring!

Mr. Soap, is this the same group that Faster Horses was trying to set up? Do you know anything about this group? We are quite a far piece from the loss to send a calf but will support monetarily. thanks

Welcome home sir.

Thanks for the reminder. I've missed your brief bits of wisdom.

I saw the video on the facebook site. Very funny. Most guys use cur dogs down here, how's your secret weapon work out?

Hope you get to feeling better real soon.

I was putting in fence on Saturday and within 5 minutes it was as if I had jumped in the lake with my clothes on. The temps were in the mid 90's but the humidity was close to 100% if not more. It felt like working in a sauna.

Looks like you're gonna kick field goals :)

Bart, We are farther north and sell calves to Conaway Livestock in DeLeon Springs and cows at the Ocala market. I'm not sure if it makes a difference if you sell before or after a holiday but I thought I would ask. We have never sold anything in Arcadia or Okeechobee. The gas bill would eat...

I have a question perhaps you can answer regarding when to sell calves. We are a small cow/calf operation with around 60-70 head of momma cows on the place at any given time. We can sell the calves at any time. My quesion is, has anyone determined if it is better to sell prior to a big...

Not exactly sure what fields you were looking at but my guess would be development. You see the palms in what is a swampy area mostly. Long before we decided we knew better than Mother Nature, these areas were flood zones for the rivers in the area. The rivers would flood and then recede...

Too bad you won't be around next week as that's when spring turkey season begins. We have osceolas on our place in Volusia County. They're not a real big turkey but they are the hardest of the species to get as their range is so small. If by chance you are around next Saturday, email me and...
