I'm with @Baymule and @Mini Horses ... tell him they are gone, and put them in the freezer... Chicken soup and chicken salad sandwiches. And I hate butchering chickens anymore... but I'd give them to someone before I would deal with this person again. They are waiting for you to say just come...
Honestly, there is NO WAY to look at those 2 pics and have even a guessable time... but I would say that she is still a ways off... maybe 1/2 way through the preg???? Do you have any idea of when she could have been exposed so have some sort of a date to work off of??? You say you have no idea...
Headed down to take samples to UPS... It has been a cloudy day all day... Temps hit 43 and the snow has shrunk by at least half...it is very heavy now with the warming making it the perfect kind of packing snow... It is almost slushy now. The best thing is the way it is soaking into the earth...
Yes, we should talk... I am certified with United DHIA ... have a tester # for 35 + years... Test a farm in Woodstock Va which is 100 miles north of me and don't make near that.....We can make this work... and not a big problem...
Don't know if you still have my # from when you were moving and...
Sure, we would like a "deal" on a bull.... BUT, I want these farmers to get the most they can for their bulls because we know what it takes to raise up the animals...
These bulls have all passed the testing that the "test station" puts them through... there is extensive testing done for the 90...
There is alot of that back stabbing/throat cutting in the show cattle world... I think it just is part of the mindset of "having the best" and "showing off".....
We see it in the show chickens also....The thing about it, is the BEST is just an opinion of the judge who is human.... and that the...
@Ridgetop ... I have no idea of how many bulls may or may not be there... There are something like 80+ consigned...6 different breeds and F-1 bulls... Angus, Charolais, Gelbvieh Balancer, Simmental, SimAngus, Hereford; that went through the Culpepper preformance test requirements... they will...
Get through the winter... and then next year you can redesign the hoop type top, use the kind of pipe you know will handle the weight... and redo it so you can walk in it and use it for storage as a root cellar more comfortably.
Sorry for the expensive lesson... but you sure got it cleaned off...
Yay for finding some white ones... I know that's what you wanted. They are pretty. The buff colored ones might be a neat addition... maybe you can get some eggs to hatch....
Yep, I am all for "enabling"... :hide :hide :weee:weee
I should have bought the pair of NH bantams I had been looking...
@fuzzi .... yes... but realize that it takes 12 " of snow to equal 1 " of rain... and we are many INCHES of rain short... I do not really want FEET of snow..... still getting it like this is not bad... Just don't like all these "teens" for temps.
Farm just texted me and WANTS to test this...
Your snow/trees are really pretty....
Yeah, hot water and all those good things... Glad you got a day "out" and stayed home... we all need some of them...
Talking about the blocks moving... those are the same blocks we used to make the silage pit... 3300 lbs each... and they are staggered when he put them up for more strength... one side and the back is backfilled and they are fine with the silage... the other side is NOT backfilled and he only...
We have over 8 inches on the ground... temps in the 20's.... was 16 overnight.
All the schools are closed here in a 10+ county area... all the gov't and courts are on a 10 a.m. delayed opening type schedule... Road is pretty much cleared off... they plowed most of the night to get the stuff...
:ep:epdoing the septic , in Montana, in the winter????? REALLY ???? What a tea totally numbskull he is... like the ground is frozen... what is your frost line... like 3-4 ft down???? TOTAL STUPID CLUELESS DUMB A$$
It will be several more mostly in the house type days.... It was 16 overnight... a "balmy" 20 out there with temps maybe going to mid 30's today...but mostly cloudy.
They got the road pretty well plowed off to bare pavement last night...
Time for a cup of hot cocoa and some breakfast. Will...
All I can say is God Bless you for those temps and the wind and the stupid guy with his house... Get it under roof as soon as the winds will let you...like you said; and be done with him for the winter... His stupidity for waiting so late to start... With the kind of weather you guys get, I...
