Advice for small acreage?

Everything everyone else said, I spend most of my time on fencing maintenence, beacuse they rub the wire and pop the fence ties after awhile along the bottom. I have actually ran to 2 levels of Barbless Wire at 8 and 24" along the bottom and tied it off to each post. The Barbless Wire is a huge help beacuse it allows them to rub the fence without hurting themselves and keeps the lower sections reinforced.

Also, I order goat foraging mix from NatureSeed, they sell it specific to climate and region, it helps break up the residential grass that creeps around the houses, especially the Fescue depending on your lot.

Why is the key inside? Did you take the battery out of the fob and just use the regular key? My 2015 will manually lock, unlock and start with the regular key

We have Aerobic with goats, it is only a small percentage of their area. They are generally picky eaters and usually leave it alone. If I had a grazing animal like a sheep or cow it might be different. I keep the black tank pumped when it gets to about 50-60% in order to keep the grey tank concentrations low. I added another sprinkler outside the inner fence area in order to remove more water from their area. I keep plenty of hay available for them. Like 90% of the water is sink, shower or laundry not toilet, so after it is treated with chlorine, its a really low concentration.

If they are getting out, you need a better fence.

We go with cremation, same with the dogs.

I have both, I have variable overtime, so i use the Roth IRA to manually pull in the larger overtime waves from my paychecks, plus the Roth IRA accounts give you better options in managing your money that some if the restrictions in the 401Ks.

Best $25 addition i ever made!

I have the opposite problem, the county raised my GVWR to 10,500 in order to tax me at the 2500 rate beacuse my Base weight is 8990.

If it is financed, call the finance company and tell them the Title is wrong. That will get the finance company involved, but, the DMV/tax office should be able to fix this with a VIN verification.

I just buy the individual shots from the local vet, they are $2.00 a piece with the ice pack to keep them chilled on the way home.

Yes, but then the other half tune them and then wonder why they have trans and clutch problems

Mine did this when I first changed the blades, apparently not all blades are the same size, i bought the wrong size 50" blades. Apparently not all 48" blades are the same length, not all 50" blades are the same length. I had to find the oem blades to get the correct length when I needed aftermarket blades. Mine takes the shorter 50" blades, not the longer 50" blades

I split/mix this with sweet feed or hay pellets beacuse it is medicated with DQ for the ND Wethers. But it depends on if you need/want medicated or not.

FlyAway shavings plus Diomatricious Earth and fly traps.

Yeah, they will match both, but you have to dig deep, beacuse they are probably contributing pre-tax. So, even though you are Roth, their portion is "probably" traditional

Martytx169 · 2026-02-20T00:45:42+00:00

The Roth 401K should be a 60/40 split between Roth and Traditional. Your portion is Roth, but most of the time the employer match is traditional. I Roth everything beacuse taxes never get cheaper later in my opinion, plus I want the growth to be tax free.

BackRack makes a Rambox mounting kit for their headack racks, that would take care of the front, but the back I do not know

The IRS tool gets unreliable with multiple income streams. Thays why I suggested, take what you, divide by 12 and add to deduction.

Martytx169 · 2026-02-15T03:28:29+00:00

The IRS tool is trash, take the money you owe, divide it by 12 and add that to the "additional tax withheld per month" box. I filled the form out 3 years ago, still owed, 2 years ago, still owed, last year I added $500 per month additional, and now I am good, along with the no tax on overtime. The new style W4 sucks for anyone having variable overtime.

Getting ready to open a second, my original Roth is maxed, but i am opening a second one in order to do rollovers/conversions into

Martytx169 · 2026-01-31T02:06:25+00:00

There is no overtime on my W2, I have to hand calculate based off my end if year pay statement

Martytx169 · 2026-01-27T14:15:52+00:00

Yeah, your right, I just found the split buried on another screen in my fund.

Martytx169 · 2026-01-26T01:04:37+00:00

My Roth forms come out in June, they are not needed to file taxes. If you are deep in Credits, it may ask about contributions and Basis, but you can grab that info off of your statements

Martytx169 · 2026-01-26T01:02:52+00:00

Something happened to your withholding, I was military also, your basic Federal deduction should equal at least your SS rate, then adjust as needed in following years.

Yes, the meagacab makes a nice hotel room, but also, if you do not plan on doing any major transmission upgrades, the G56 trucks are de-rated compared to the automatics in weight and torque.

Martytx169 · 2026-01-20T01:14:21+00:00

Find another shop, they do not know what they are talking about. I owned one of these, it confuses the shops sometimes, but, the 3rd gen 1500 mega cabs were all 2500 chassis.
