The local FFA chapter has a new advisor this year. The past one just didn't hold up to a very high standard and advance the group along very well. The current one was the advisor about 15 yrs ago here and decided to take another advisor job about 40 min east of here. It was a good move in the...

Katrina Good to see that you are doing well. How did chopping silage go? Did you get those new bins full of flowers yet? 8)

I talked to her Friday afternoon on my way back from a parts run in Ks. She told me that she is doing fine and so is the rest of her family. Sounded to me like that they have been busy with Grain storage improvenments and such. She said that they were hoping to get some silage cut over the long...

The Dead Cow and Vet School . . . First-year students at Texas A&M's Vet school were receiving their first anatomy class, with a real dead cow. They all gathered around the surgery table with the body covered with a white sheet. The professor started the class by telling them, 'In Veterinary...

I hope everyone is getting enough rain. I am plenty sick of rain for now but I am sure about the 4th of July I will wish for a shot. Should've bought more cows the pasture is getting ahead of the few I have. Oh well at least if it turns dry later on maybe they can be coaxed in to eating the dry...

Was just wondering how everyone heated your house? We have been working on ours over the last couple yrs and so I built a new chimney and installed this new wood furnace and also a new high eficiency (propane)furnace. Try not to use the propane much but the wood is the greatest thing since...
