This new implement will give us a big bang for our buck, and this is my first time using it. It took a while to understand this. But the horsepower rating has nothing to do about the power or torque of the tractor. But everything about the size of the tractor. So, the reason it
Heard an animal screaming outside, went out to investigate. Once I realized the attack was over, or they devoured something else, I went back inside to grab a camera. By the time I set it up on a tripod, the predatory Turkey Vultures were eating their breakfast. This is proof they don’t only eat roadkill.
As you know, on Thanksgiving Day Mama Cow gave birth to her baby (Madeline), but yesterday Mama became extremely ill and was in respiratory distress. The two-person team that responded from our Veterinarian must have been trained in some form of Veterinary Martial Arts. To see how they were able to get this large Cow on the
Today was day six of baby Madeline’s new life. The first two days were not easy for her. She showed no interest in nursing. Her tongue and palate seemed to keep her from sucking milk from her mother.

I give commentary on this problematic experience, offer some solutions to the problem, a two-minute music video, and then close with a blunder
I looked up the five signs of #calving, and our Mama Black Angus shows four of them. Rapidly growing udder & big nipples Springing in the back end (just learned that terminology) aka a puffy, relaxed vulva Mucous & discharge Restlessness and weird behavior Disappearing pelvic ligaments (this one I’m not sure about). She’s so
This is one of my “strategic tactical preparations” that I wrote about while moving to Tennessee. The others will not be televised, and they are still in progress. This project’s primary purpose is a tornado shelter for my wife. We are thankful to Fain Storm Shelters out of Jackson, Tennessee for manufacturing, delivering, and installing
This is me and Jackson our Jackass. We share a lot of similarities, except I am much worse, I’m a sinner. A sinner chosen by God, and saved by King Jesus who chose to ride on a Donkey in His triumphal entry into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday. “Hosanna to the son of David: Blessed is
