Farming and Ranching

Yesterday, after 105 degrees and virtually two and a half months without any real precipitation, I sat down in my shop and for the first time in my life felt a sense of hopelessness.

Technology in farming and agriculture, in general, is changing so fast, it's leaving me behind.

I stopped and took a look at my old horse barn in this picture and thought, "What a cool house this barn would make."

4-H and FFA youth will have an exciting event at MetraPark this spring, with the first-ever Black Diamond Clinic and Jackpot planned for May 7 through 9 in the SuperBarn.

Pictures like this make me love cows though because they are such good mothers.

This picture was around 1940 when he had his garden. He found a wooded and brush area on a sidehill up from the highway that had a spring on it.

Well, most guys who didn't start calving until after the 35 below temperatures are having a great year.

We do not need to change the clocks anymore.

If you were listening this morning early, I was a little hard on the health of Americans. I think it was brought on by the fact that I lost a prolapsed heifer yesterday.

For you folks out there that like the Kevin Costner series "Yellowstone" keep in mind, nothing in that show is anything close to ranching.

A landowner in Yellowstone County reported the dead rabbits to the Fish, Wildlife and Parks staff, who said that the rabbits appear to have been domesticated.

We lived to play in that old house, and as I watched it burn, so many childhood memories come flooding back. The old house was our pirate ship and bank robbery hide out.
