    Ethanol's Effects On Cattlemen Offers Many Unknowns

    wdcook- I think the shipping issue is already manifesting itself, but not in terms of DGS shipment, but as higher placements or retention of feeder cattle in the northern plains where the EtOH plants are located.

    Soapweed

    I've seen my wife drive, shift, talk on the cell phone and drink a coke all at the same time. Needless to say, it scares the heck out of me.

    Favorite booze?

    Haymaker, I think Knob Creek is a fine bourbon whiskey. REAAAAAAAAAL smooth. I wouldn't mix this with anything. I like it as is at room temp, you can really savor the flavor.

    Favorite booze?

    Used to like to have Lord Calvert and coke. Can't say I really care for Crown Royal though. When I'm in Minnesota, I usually don't pass up tipping a couple of Grainbelts. Here in WI, it's mostly Miller products, but I'd sooner have Point...which is brewed up in Stevens Point...

    Favorite booze?

    I like beer. It makes me a jolly good fellow. :) I spent a couple of years in Germany. I found an appreciation for good beer, not just mass produced beer. Although my rate of consumption of the later has been known to outpace my metabolic digestion. When I was over in Deutchland, I had...

    Accident=Ford+loaded trailer+Charolais cow

    Glad everyone is safe MR. It looks like that cow did a heck of a number. I was coming home from visiting some friends one nite when I saw the reflection of some eyes on the road. I slowed to a stop when I was close enough to see that they were some black cows. I nearly crapped my pants...

    Dark Sky

    My wife and I went to out to lunch today. As we were pulling out of the parking lot, we noticed dark skies out to the west. Being rather dry, this is a welcomed sight as the corn, beans, alfalfa and other vegetation are about on their last legs. However, after further inspection, the sky was...
