Did I miss him getting disability? He got a good lawyer? :yesss: Something on my wish list for the ranch - LOL Too bad I can't order a spring on Amazon! :gig Sure can't put one in where it doesn't exist. LOL We have a1/3 acre fenced garden. Looking forward to planting in it but will...

I would say that a well is at the end of its life span if it stops producing potable water as the only source of house water! Although the well can still produce water, that doesn't mean that it is safe to drink. And if the seller sold the house based on the fact that the well was "producing"...

In southern CA there is not a lot of water to cross. My first paints were bought as 2 year olds, and trained by the owner we bought from in our area who had them as family horses for 12-15 years. We have the wash with a stream to cross here so water proof. My TWH was bred and trained by the...

Or cut some cow panel sections and wire or zip tie on to uprights. If necessary use a metal drill bit to drill through sold metal trailer skin for holes to attach wire or zip ties for cow panel. Cut panel as close to welds as possible. For rough edges use either duct tape or metal tape...

Had a very bad morning! No BYH. Went into old posts and got no ability to post, or even "like" posts that I read. I got an IM from Nifty that the emails were being bounced back to them. Had DS1 and DD2 (my resident computer nerds) on phone with each other trying to resolve problem. They...

No concrete area on your property? Can you get some old carpet? Put it in a shady place and saturate it with water. Check to see if it stays cold and rewet it with COLD water to keep it cool. We used that for the rabbits in the heat of summer. The water evaporation cools it down. If you...

Can you pull diarrhea sample for e.coli test? I would pull all milk, give water with paste electrolytes first (paste electrolytes make them thirsty), and probiotics to reboot stomach organisms. Give free choice hay only - no pellet or grain supplements.

May want to put some sort of bars or screen over windows.

Problems with gaited horses is that they are great rides but not suitable for children to use in gymkhana playdays, or do the cowboying stuff that kids like to do. Our first TWH mare was a really beautiful and well bred TWH lady. She was sold to us by a second-year college student that was no...

For a family horse with kids, look for one that is between 12-16 years old. Lots of life left in them if they are in good health and have a clear vet check and old enough to be sensible for the kids.

Well, it posted so maybe everyone can try making them. You do need power tools to drill through those stall mats. I have some old stall mats that I can use when I make mine. I used to have some thinner rubber matting that I would have liked to use but don't know if we tossed that or not. It...

I have a pattern to make a black vulture effigy to hang around the area hoping to deter them. Got it from the University of Kentucky. It takes a black rubber 3/4" thick 3x4' stall mat. You could probably make it out of 1/2" thick black rubber matting it you have any. I'm attaching it here -...

Breed is not as important as the temperament and training of the horse. Look for an older horse with plenty of trail miles on it. They are safer for a beginning rider - "young rider old horse, old rider young horse" - still applies. Besides even if you are experienced do you really want to...

Remind her of all the things she can do that you can't (or won't ;)). Give her a hug and remind her of how special she is. And when you decide to move to Texas, remember that Yantis is a really nice place with NICE people. Your skills would be totally welcomed here! (I am starting my list...

The ewes may not be coming into season until mid-summer OR it may be that the ram is a more seasonal breeder and really doesn't come into rut until July. Either way, the late breeder will join the new batch of ewes when they lamb. It could also be that she was already bred and the proximity of...

Cody said he has a permit and has been shooting them :yesss: but there are so many he has to carry his gun and shoots them whenever he sees them. Apparently his neighbor has an area tht is a preferred breeding ground. You can get a permit to kill them, but destroying raptors' breeding...

Who was Sesame out of? I remember you talking about her when she was born. Sorry you lost her.

Now that selling all those steers is "DS' idea" you can refer to selling as "like you said" and "your plan on selling" to get the cattle you want sold. ;) Great prices! And great plan to sell before grass is gone and everyone is trying to unload cattle off dry pastures. When prices drop low...

Totally a guy thing - When I had to take our car in years ago for some engine repair or oil change, the guy would always tell me I needed a lot more work done, I told him "My husband says it is . . . ." and he would say ok and do what I came for. LOL Now if I learn something and tell DH we...
