Thanks for the postive feedback on the site! Sorry I haven't been around lately.... the girls & I moved to my parents house to calve cows (they have much better facilities, and we share labour) :lol: Sure is nice to hear all your positive thoughts... but please send me ideas for improvement...

Good job coach! Can I ask where "the old barn" was that you were skating in? I saw the Hillmond rink (and kids) on Hockey Night in Canada on Sat. night. It must be getting to be one of the oldest rinks around the country. They had a heck of a time getting ice in this year, and I wonder if...

Beautiful photos, Folks! I've voted, but it wasn't easy to pick a favorite from all the great shots!

The size of my feet aren't that personal... all you haffta do is look down, and you'll see they're average... size 8 1/2 ladies! But I think we can afford new skates for me. It's more the principal of the thing. Mine work fine, and does it really matter if they don't have any plastic on...

Okay, I won't spill the beans, but I think my neighbour is the redhead! As for the gloves and the Super Tacs... I wound up President of the Skating Club, and we hosted a PowerSkating session for hockey kids. I had to help out on the ice, 8) and a requirement was hockey gloves. Well, my...

Know where you're coming from.... we've had a momma bear & two cubs here all summer, so whenever I go fencing, I'm sure the neighbours can hear me singing.... I always seem to pick 'O Canada,' and sing as loud as I can. Just hoping she'll stay clear when she hears me coming. Or, if I don't...

Thanks Alabama - that's kind of you to show us around. Maybe it'll be the curmugeon & Northern Rancher! Thanks for the tips on the hotels. I'll check into it. Hey NR, if you've got the cash for the ticket, I'm sure the Curmugeon would enjoy your company. That way, I can stay home & set up...

Well, Northern Rancher, let us know when your Cowpie Invitational is, and we'll be there! I'm sure it's a blast (well, except for the person whose the target)! I'm still looking for info on the Masters, if anyone's been there, or even heard whether it's worth the big chunk of cash needed to...

I'm considering purchasing Masters Tickets for my husband for Christmas. Has anyone been to Augusta, Georgia, to attend this, or just plain been there? I'm looking for hotel or bed & breakfast suggestions. Also wondering if there are any Angus breeders around the area.... the curmugeon may...

For grain farmers (& I'm not one, but my dad is)... Switching from mimimum tillage or conventional tillage to no-till sure saves on fuel. No pre-seeding anhydrous application with a cultivator, no harrow-packing after seeding, LOTS less time picking rocks. BUT, there are more trips over the...

Are you headed out to snowboard behind your neighbours truck?

Are you planning on jumping on that handsome Roan Stud?

Don't think its the water.... Just completed my Environmental Farm Plan, and looks like we really should re-do our well. It's pretty shallow - sand-point at the bottom of a 16 foot hole. And the cribbing is made in two sections. One really wide one for the bottom 8 feet, and one slightly...

Awwww. Thanks! :oops: We won't tell the curmugeon. (Especially since everyone says she' looks just like her dad!)

That little girl's name is Laura. I'm not sure she's "precocious" - more developed, especially mentally, than is usual or expected at a particular age, or showing such advanced development (as Broke Cowboy defined). But she's full of fun and often trouble, but in a good-hearted way...

Absolutely Yes... The more connections the city kids have with the farms/ranches, the better for us all (you probably don't want to show them butchering chickens, though!). For some, this may be their only opportunity to be out of the city in their lives. Scary, I know, but there are some...

Thanks FH for the tip. I hope I don't have another bloater for awhile, but I'll try to remember the probiotics. As for straight & narrow, I don't think you'd be keepin' him in line. But we all know that now, don't we! Sound's like Agribition had the largest crowds in ages.

I shoulda caught the 100 grains of pain reliever, but I thought you were serious, using your new good vet up there! I'll just wait 'til I see you in person, NR. Maybe when you next stop in for burgers and beer, I'll include a few "grains" of something in my seasoning mix! As for cattle, I...

My dad tells a story about going to the rodeo your talking about, in the mid-sixties. He had a horse that would jump into the back of his half-ton, put her neck over the roof and brace herself for the ride. He went up there with her (90 miles) with no stock-racks on the truck, roped in the...

Hey NR.... Hows the Traveler cow today? Did you take Mrs. NR out someplace special, after you pulled the cows out? 19 years... she's amazing!
