NOPE..... NOT FOR SALE......:lol::lol::gig:gig:gig:gig....BUT ..... if they want just "room and board" in exchange for a pleasant companionship... might rent him out to others for added value....:hide
I.m not necessarily looking for a romantic relationship... a "house/roommate" type arrangement...
Looking for just this type... doesn't have to be handsome(although he's not bad looking!!!!) .... HANDY..... is essential... a few years younger than me to take care of the "heavy lifting" would be nice...got freezers full of food, good roof overhead, garden space...
Please say some prayers for the people in the panhandle area of Texas and into Oklahoma... the Smokehouse Creek Wildfire has devastated over 1 MILLION acres of land... burnt untold number of buildings... 2 people died and no one has any idea of the number of cattle lost already.
It is maybe 15 %...
Keep going back to that picture of Tank... you can practically see him coking his head from side to side saying.... Okay, I think this is what you want... right?
We had that temp swing.... 61 Wed during the day... woke up to 25 this (Thursday) morning... Had .3 inch rain in the afternoon into evening then the cold swept in on some really bad gusty wind... Took a big dead tree down at the farm across driveway, and a smaller dead one next to the smaller...
Grilled cheese sandwich after getting home from testing a 200 cow herd... Not interested in cooking, wanted something warm... next is a shower and bed.
@CrealCritter ; We try to calve in 2 groups... a spring group and a fall group... avoiding June/July/most of August... the worst of the heat... and Dec/Jan/early Feb....worst winter weather USUALLY.....and we are just too busy with hay making and such in summer...... Plus my garden keeps me...
That's good for them all being steers for this year. No worries for another year.
One suggestion... try to avoid the worst of the summer for calving. There are many more cases of retained placenta in the heat for the cows. No real science behind it, we just see it often in both the beef and...
If Romeo is still running with the cows, then it is a good bet they are getting bred back... you may never see them in heat... Are you wanting the next bunch of calves to be born in colder weather? One of the negative sides to running a bull year round... spread out calvings are fine in some...
I brought home so much of the "behind the scenes" stuff from my parents house... because I knew they would not go bad and they do "cost" to buy... will be using them for a long time too...all those little things that add up in the cost of "grocery shopping"...
Beautiful gorgeous sunny day here today...temps started at 29 but now in the low 50's.... hung 2 loads of clothes after getting back from feeding bottle calves.
Hoses all switched around, and meter brackets all changed and in car for testing on Tuesday, then will put away in carport and plan...
Agree with @Mini Horses ... cleaning supplies don't go bad.... and I am on a "no buying" anything that is not essential right now... plus use what I have on hand/eat out of the freezer if at all possible, kind of mindset.
The guy in the top hat holding up Punxsutawny Phil, has shadows from the sun on his face... BUT Phil did NOT see his shadow so an early spring????
REALLY....
First day of spring is ALWAYS around the 20th of March.... you know , the timing of the sun being equal distance so we have equal number...
One of the hardware stores here, has a pressure canner "check up" day... they will test the seal for you... and of course they sell replacement seals. It is in the heart of the Mennonite community an hour north of me. It is a great way for people to take their pressure canner to have it...
Has anyone ever just cut them up, and put in jars, hot water ... so essentially cold packed them? That is one thing I was hoping for with the pressure canner... to get more out of the potatoes that are not going to store forever and have them for future use...
Thinking I am going to make some...
