I don't know Soapweed.......looks like you might be keeping tabs on that young man in order to send a bill.......or maybe just good record keeping for the tax man? :lol:

Pic #6, my wife said the caption should be, "when you run outa' room, stack 'em." :roll:

I noticed your port and starboard eartags are reversed. Hope the Coast Guard doesn't do a fly-over inspection. :wink:

Another good tour, thanks, Soapweed.

Seagulls flying over might deposit on the wrong end of the heifer. :wink:

The pink tags came on the heifers when I bought them a year ago, and the green ones were put on at that time. Next time I'll do it right. :wink:

Good point DustDevil, same in aviation. I always remembered by the red being a symbol for communists (far left) and of course green on the good to go side which would be right. Notwithstanding, they make for a colorful compliment on otherwise black cattle. We offered a choice of chicken or beef to our vet one time and he took the beef saying he doesn't eat anything that eats with its pecker.

Yearlings look really good, Soapweed.

I liked the raccoon on the windmill pictures.
So, do I want to know what happed to the coon? :D

The coon looked so cute, and was so far away from civilization that he got to go on his merry way. That is, unless he is afraid of heights and couldn't find his way back down. :wink:

If there is ever a photo contest for "raccoons on a windmill tower," I will enter one of these pictures. There probably wouldn't be too many entries. :)

nice heifers and they do look ready for the holidays. :D

did the coon make it to the ground much faster than he made it to the top? :wink:

That's what would have happened here, and for the same reasons.

You are most likely correct on that photo contest catagory.
Maybe we could call it "Animals in odd places." That
could be truly interesting. Thanks for the idea. :D

the coon story would have had a differnt ending here. :wink:

Justin does that mean you would have gone up the tower and rescued the little coon and set it safely on the ground ? :)

Nice pics soap!

One word...... Coon skin cap! Actually more like three words. :D Justin and I think alike! :wink: Sorry to out you like that Justin. :shock:

Soap, the heifers look swell. But chicken at the tailgate cafe is a hangin' offense in several states. :roll: Then again, I am not saying I'd not eat it out of principle! :lol: :lol: :lol:

I've had a couple of coon encounters at work climbing oil storage tanks. One night I met one about 3/4 of the way up a 50' high tank. It was pourin'rain and I was wearing a long slicker that makes it hard to climb the stairs so I was eye-level with him when we met. I agreed to give right-of-way but before I could reverse course, he dove off and sailed down landing with an impact that sounded like a wet mop slapping the ground then jumped up and hauled butt, leaving a coon-shaped imprint in the loose rock.
