    Why the downward slide?

    If the recent spike in cattle prices was a direct result of the law of supply and demand, why then are we seeing the current slide in prices? Have we found another five hundred million cattle in North America we were unaware of? Has demand dropped off because of high prices? Have those...

    Seven hours ten minutes

    I'm glad that the shortest day of the year only lasts a day. :D The sun rises here at 9:21AM and sets at 4:21 PM. I think where Silver lives the day may even be a little shorter. Now we move into "As the days get longer the cold gets stronger" season. :? At any rate, Merry Christmas and a...

    Windy in the Peace Country...

    Wild winds blew through here last night. Reports of gusts reaching 120 kilometers per hour. That converts to 74.5 miles per hour. Temperatures were well above freezing so the snow pack certainly shrank down a lot. Hopefully the deer will be able to forage on something other than my hay now...

    New computer

    not that long ago

    I had a horse, when I was a kid, that was happy to ride in the back of a pickup without any stock racks. I would ride up to the back of the truck, jump the horse in, climb off and away we would go.

    Is there really any choice when the only choices available are... Nanny State or Police State?

    Wouldn't you know

    You're lucky this didn't happen when the border was closed. You'd have been hung from a tall oak tree.

    Heads up Alberta grazing lease holders!!

    It would appear that those with grazing leases in Alberta have reason for concern. I can't see any good coming from this. We had our chance to turf this government this past spring. We, the electorate, blew it. :mad: http://freedomtalk.ca/articles1_2012.html#legacy

    What could have been a bizarre "near wreck"

    That's awful news. I knew Erin when she was a little girl. I guided for her Dad in the North West Territories back in the late 70s.
