My buddy went to an Arab outfit by NewTown, North Dakota tp pick up a stud one time-he had some stouter mares. I roped a two year old Hereford bull of one of my buddies geldings he handled it ok. I used to use his Arab stud like a longhorn bull for my draft mares first foals-raised some pretty fancy teams off that cross. A little dab in a horse wouldn't hurt much and I doubt the neighbors would know-I get enough grief cause I ride mares lol. Alot of saddle horses up here have a bit of draft in them-those muskegs eat up horses pretty quick.

I'd never have any interest in one. With that dished-out face and tail wanting to poke up all the time, I have little desire. They seem to be pretty frail for doing much roping of critters. But heck Whitewing, down there in Venezuela I don't know that the neighbors seeing you ride one would cause much of a stir. If you rode one around this country you'd better be thick enough skinned to take some verbal abuse

I try to do all my shots prior to weaning. Fenceline weaning and the calves are real used to the bunks they are eating from and stay in the same pasture.

IBR/BVD/BRSV
Pastuerella
8 Way
Dewormer

We also hit with a Pink-eye vaccine

I think it is important to have claves on a good nutrtional plane before weaning. Including minerals. If they aren't truly hungry, then they get over it faster and easier. Otherwise, they really did need "Mamma" and it will show

My guess is he has good recipe and skill at making it out of leaner Meats. Perhaps he is adept at doing it out of other levels of fat as well. But you mentioned something that should be very lean.

Hats off to the sausage maker. Do you ave the name of the shop?

Yeah, John, I will be putting in a new valve on the incoming supply. Seems that it should have already been there, but it's not. Also, the outgoing hot water line is only 1/2 inch and it then feeds into a 1 inch line. I was thinking about changing the outgoing line to 3/4, so that it's not so resricted. I don't know what the specs are for sure so I'll have to look that up somewhere before I go getting smart.

With all of the time it must be taking you to shower in the bunkhouse and heat water on the stove for dishes, I'd sure think that it'd be a huge time saver to fix that water heater in the main house. Gosh man, take some time away from the board here and get that done!

Now that I think about it, maybe a guy shouldn't have that valve on the incoming line. If you didn't have the valve you would already have a new heater!

Steve, I respectfully submit to you that when M goes ANYWHERE on the taxpayers dime, she's fair game...be it Spain, Gettysburg, or anywhere else. Her husband is the President, therefore it's political in some form or fashion. Let's face it, she didn't go to Spain to solicit funds for the Red Cross, or to help the starving children in Africa.

Dad always said that folks can't help how they look, they can only help how they act, and from what I've seen, M's "act" is getting damned old.

I was talking about "first ladies"

but if you want to add,.. and their families.. I wouldn't object...

but a BJ would fall under Actions.. or conduct..

"elected" officials conduct.. or actions.. or the first ladies (and families) conduct or action.. if they are outrageous, then I would expect discussions.. and more then likely be involved in the discussions..

Well, the new guy elected in Alaska wants to get rid of Social Security....so you won't have to worry about SS if the ' tea' people get their way

the new guy "elected" in Alaska hasn't been elected yet. nominated yes,.. won a primary yes.. but he holds no office..

if elected he may be able to sway the votes and policy to a more conservative libertarian stand., but I doubt as one man he will be able to much more then make controversial statements.. (sorta like RonPaul)..

as for the TEA party... as a member.. I have heard little about phasing out SS, or Medicare...

I have heard a little about cutting some "welfare" programs from SS such as .. SSI

Quote:

Supplemental Security Income (or SSI) is a United States government program that provides stipends to low-income persons who are either aged (65 or older), blind, or disabled.[1] Although administered by the Social Security Administration,[2] SSI is funded from the U.S. Treasury general funds,[3] not the Social Security trust fund. SSI was created in 1974 to replace federal-state adult assistance programs that served the same purpose.

2009 - Beneficiaries 7,676,686 - Cost $44,906,000,000

Well Ms. Sage ,you have my respect posting your picture.Not old ,fat or ugly.

Hey I've posted my pictures on Ranchtalk a time or two ,look for a wrangler butt that may be mine ,the butts not as big as the belly I'm working on that though

goes to show that attitude often matters alot more then size...

I think attacking M on her shoe or ass size is unfair...

I think attacking her for a wrinkled out of step/style dress is unfair..

I feel attacking her is wrong.

but when she steps into the policy and political stage.. her words and actions are fair game...

so if you must be mean.. at least try to do it with a bit of humor..
