I have hundreds of pix on my phone and computer. Are they of my 5 children? Their 4 spouses? My 9 grandchildren? OK some are of family, but most are bad pictures of sheep and lgds. For great pictures you need to see @SagehHills thread. She is a professional photographer. Also...

What is First Monday Trade Days? Yantis is a great location for us since we are in our Prime. :old:gig 5 minutes to Yantis (post office, bank and the best breakfast coffee shop in Texas); 10 minutes to Sulphur Springs cattle auction (good restaurant on auction days); 15 minutes to Sulphur...

Hope you hd a good time at the poultry show. What kind/brand of zero turn battery lawn mower did you buy? I am thinking about getting one for DH so he can mow the front and back lawns instead of continuing to pay this gardener. I am holding a grudge over the $150 worth of plants that he...

Wood County northest TX here. White Dorper sheep on 15 high fenced acres of Bermuda and Bahia pasture. 3, soon to be 4, Anatolian livestock guardian dogs. 30 acres Bermuda and Bahia hay leased to neighboring cattle rancher. I buy my hay from him. Saves cost of haymaking implements and he...

Just received an email from Premier 1 - they have approved dairy goat mastitis vaccine.

Meatloaves, spaghetti sauce, pork chili verde, all is good cooked in large amounts then frozen. I like to cook, just not every day! Mass cooking, canning, and freezing meals means good selection without a lot of work every day! ;)

Welcome!

High jumps for those little horses! I love the high knee action your carriage horses. Beautiful. You can't teach that - they have to have it in theier genetics.

Texted Boxer breeder Diane Stephens and have a line on 3 litters. 2 belonging to her friends, and one she will be breeding later this winter. DS2 wants 2, male and female, because of the coyotes. I think hw will get one now from one of the 2 litters and one from Diane in the next litter so...

Told DH yesterday that next year we would buy him a pair of waders so he can use the weed eater around the ponds to cut the goat weed. May also do away with the gardener and get a zero turn ride on mower for him. Still peeved that the gardener just mowed off $150 worth of just planted shrubs...

We had one of those. Really liked it but the wood decayed. The tires stayed good longer than a year. Replace them with bicycle wheels if possible and tires.

Also for better movement, let hot water in the shower hit your shoulder and walk your fingers up the wall to an upraised position.

I love makng jam,s, je;;ies, and pckles, but you can oly eat so much f that. When the kids were little I went through a pt of jam daily. Now mainly tomatoes, tomato sauce, spaghetti sauce without meat, and vegetables if I can grow them in TX. I also canned a bunch of meat out of the freezerv...

My grandmother taught me how to make jam and jelly. She taught me to do the parafin seal then when I started canning after I married I did lids and water bath on fruit and pickles. Lids and water bath is easier and safer. When I canned I did most of it at night since we did not have AC...

Back to current pump tank which should have some sort of air bladder ? otherwise it will burn out the pump to keep pumping constantly. Not sure what all that means, but DS1 is on top of it. Pump size estimate is for 2 HP 15 GPM 230v single phase. Tank is 44 gallon Flexcon bladder tank. We...

Drilling estimate is "424' Drilling, cased, gravel pcked, pressure cemented"cased - does that mean that the can put another pipe in the casing later? "352' 1" galvanized pipe& submersible cable" DS1 asked and I think they have to use galvanized because the PVC (HDPE?) won't handle the pressure...

Looks like DH is planning to sink a new well. The water line into the groid os wrtten as dgalvanized so I need to see the bid and ask abut lining it with PVC. The old well line is pitted from minerals in the soil. I don't want the new line to go that way too. Some people have told me that the...

Love blue collar "Dead Eye' with only one open eye! :lol:

Did you get the entire milking records on the dam? Focusing on the amoint milked at the"peak" doesn't tell the whole story. Many times the amount of milk produced during the entire 10 month lactation is a better average than does that have high peaks and may not produce as mch over the...
