Use fishing line... sunlight will glint off it... it will move a little in a breeze... it will throw them off from diving down.... Plus fishing line is cheap... criss-crossing to make them afraid to get tangled in it... Or get some out of season, cheap netting for fruit trees... string it out...

Well, in for the night... I never did get the chicken stuffed and roasted yesterday ... and it will wait for tomorrow... It is vacuum packed so it ought to be fine for another day in the fridge... I went to the green barn and got chicken feed from my feed bin... then went to the barn and got a...

Bulls like that do not stay here... NO excuses... We have anywhere from 6-10 bulls... and if they get destructive.. tear stuff up, get out, they get a new home... Preferably as bologna and processed meat... Things happen, and some things are going to get messed up by animals... but to...

Sunny, nice out, comparatively... no wind either... Got the boxes from going to chicken show 2 weeks ago, out of explorer... boxes with bottles all loaded and ready. We will see what things are in the morning.... Chickens waterers done and feed in feeders... Going to go down to get feed, out...

🫡🫡🫡🫡 Not a very good salute to you... but the best I could find... Those of us that were never there will never know.... but some of us can try to understand... My ex was one of the first in Vietnam... trying to build stuff in Cameron Bay while being shot at... cannot imagine what that was...

I have a suggestion... it will cost some money... but why not find a reliable livestock hauler that can and will get the cattle there in less than 24 hours??? There are dairy cattle shipped across the country every day... I will do a little checking and see what a couple of my dairy farms do...

Yeah, my post was basically... "ridgetop saying"...... MY house, my rules, and if you brought a gun in when I said I did not want one, then you need to leave and take the gun... PERIOD.... hey, I am not anti gun either... like @Baymule said... he is a total DUMB A$$.... he certainly does not...
