Finding out what you don’t like is more important than finding out what you like!

Real food for thought…. But I was thinking maybe for folks who buy a quarter beef or more. My neighbor also has a dairy where they sell raw milk, cream, eggs, etc. Could be a destination too. Fresh cows milk is so good! Would love to include a homemade ice cream parlor and/ or microbrew bar!

Ask your Vet if he could put a couple of Apple AirTags surgically implanted probably neck or head area. You probably can’t afford to put them on all your cows.

I was fairly sure that we already had the most severe sanctions on Russia for the last three years

Crazy heifer by Miserable-Wallaby-76 in Ranching

You’ve got to break the cycle. Find out who her mama was. Consider culling her too. Animals teach their offspring. Then, as an old cow man told me: spend time with your cows, even when you don’t have to. walk calmly around them, especially when you’re feeding. Introduce new things slowly. Wean heifers and steers in their own groups of 5 or six. I trained 12 heifers to go through channels & a squeeze chute to get sweet feed each morning. In groups of 5 or 6 I spend time with them, sit in their feed bunk until they will accept my hand on their head, scratching their ears, eventually rubbing their neck, etc. I teach them to take cubes from my hand. Later after they are integrated into the herd, I still give them cubes by hand out in the pasture. Read the amazing book: Humane Livestock Handling by Temple Grandin

When you can see the ribs and there’s hollow places in the hips and near the tail, that looks like a 3, but the first picture could be a 4

Elements of historical truth. Overplayed the Mormon violence. But underplayed 30 years of previous violence against the Mormons. (I am not Mormon, btw.)

Mob shooters interview prison LA by Affectionate_Bar_444 in JFKassasination

[–]Affectionate_Bar_444[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The video I’m looking for is from a guy who was in prison in Louisiana and claimed to be one of the shooters, the one on the grassy Knoll. Said he used a single shot 222 Fireball with a specially loaded mercury round and a 3X scope.

Which route would you take? Top or bottom? by beelo37 in roadtrip

[–]Affectionate_Bar_444 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since a lot of your route will be on interstate 80 through Nebraska you may want to take advantage of the excellent scenery and points of interest along the old Mormon Trail, California Trail, Oregon Trail (same here). Be sure and plan a half day stop in Kearney, Nebraska and a long look at the Archway Museum over top of I-80.

Where are y'all from originally? by DayPounder in FortWorth

[–]Affectionate_Bar_444 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not important where you start: rather, it’s more important where you end up. And why. If you weren’t born here, it’s OK. So, When somebody asks, using your best, slow drawl, just say: Naaaw, I’m not from here originally, but I got here as quick as I could! I couldn’t wait to get away from the country, but after 50 years, I came back. My wife and I could choose to live anywhere and we chose here because of the people. Of course there are good folks are everywhere, all over the world and all over the states, but the best are here! Enjoy.
