    WHAT ARE YOU CANNING TODAY?

    I looked again... it is bestbuysaving.com/products/Presto-precise-12qt-pressure-canner-02144.... I have compared it to several other sites and it is the same number 02144... says it is for canning only, no setting for pressure cooking. I am going to order one... if you can't find it... let me...

    No, don't consider it wasting time or ammo here... the more you shoot the fewer you have... Yes, they come looking... but with all the woods and all around, plus the crop fields, we have our share and I can easily diminish the numbers with the .22 and the live trap. I do not feed the cats...

    Rabies, and other stuff...eat cat food and such if put out for "barn cats"... as well as will tear apart chicken coops and all... so if you are considering any outside livestock... take the .22 and dispose of the trash pandas.

    Have to "laugh" as guys seem to get thoroughly p.o.ed when something goes wrong, even though there have been plenty of "signs" that something needs some attention....like the slow leak on the tire..... been there done that with DS... that is why I now have anything that needs doing, done by the...

    Coffee's Ready, Come and Sit on the Porch

    For anyone that worries about the electronic igniters..... if you are close to Amish or Mennonite areas... you can often buy stoves WITHOUT the electronic igniters since they do not want to be hooked up to the grid....

    If you talk to the Galloway assoc... they will have breeders with exceptional bulls that have semen available. I recently bought a tank of semen and there is some belted galloway semen straws in there... they are available.

    @CrealCritter ,,, I am late to the party. Everyone else has answered... How close are you to the Select Sire power bull stud? There are a couple places that you can take the bull to, in different states, to have him collected. It is not something you can do yourself... requires the equipment...
