Best steer Hannah ever showed.

Sold well..

 

[Hedgerow]

But this was the coolest one she ever showed..

We thought seriously about saving the hide from this one and sending it to the boys down at the Joplin regional stockyards to put on the wall of the entrance..

Blue roan’s Are just cool...

I want to learn how to tan hides myself, but have no "donor" hides, so to speak. I see on FB how foxes and coyotes like to hang out around chicken coops and alpacas, but yet to see any myself. Sometimes I hope one will come around so I can practice tanning hides.

Kid from the sarcoxie FFA built this trailer from scratch..

It was *f-wording awesome... that dove tail is hydraulic..
2 cylinders under it will raise a 5000 pound tractor up parked on the back of it once loaded..
It was already sold by the time I asked about it.,

 

[Hedgerow]

This is what we were doing during the fair last year...

Nobody went...

Too many *f-wording rules and restrictions... all of jasper county basically told the fair board to *f-word off and die....

Which they probably deserved...

Now THAT’S an arm roast...
6 lbs of glorious beef..

Larry was a good steer.. I made sure to sprinkle him weekly with pesticide and roundup so I could make more money before eating him..

When I went to feed the chickens this morning one of my pullets had bruised and swollen wattles with some bruising on her face. According the Merk vet manual and other veterinary sources the pullet probably has fowl cholera. The mobile vet was already called to come see our alpacas, but not sure when he will be here, allegedly sometime this week. Have any of you encountered this? We had a couple of other sick hens this spring, but they ended up having some kind of cancer and lacked bone marrow (at least in their femurs). I isolated the pullet after finding her this morning and she finally ate a little bit today, maybe an oz of scratch and grower pellets.

Sounds like you have it figured out.

It’s from roundup and pesticide use...

You should sue someone...

 

[Hedgerow]

Or buy a shovel...

 

[Hedgerow]

But only after you spent $400.00 on vet bills to diagnose $2.50 chickens...

 

[Hedgerow]

Holy *s-word..

We’re all gonna starve to death if this *pretty boy is in charge of feeding us....


Help???
