Let’s Talk Cows

**********Please Subscribe To My Blog…..It Really Helps********** Yes…Let’s….. I’m seriously considering and preparing for the addition of a couple cows to our happy little rural menagerie….. I’ve already done a past post on Florida Cracker Cattle….. ***(Post: Bees, Donkey, & Cows)*** Let’s say a person (like me) were to get a couple cows…and let’s say that person (me–again) lives in Florida….. It would make sense to get a type of cow that was particularly suited for Florida’s climate and terrain…(i.e….

*******Please Subscribe To My Blog…..It Really Helps******* After having watched the neighbors recent late night fireball of a bonfire…I’ve decided…I’m not going to burn any of our remaining piles of wood that are still scattered around our property after last year’s Hurricane Season….. I decided there’s another option rather than the risk of more fires…it just too dry right now….. The meteorologist just said that compared to last year rainfall…we are 22″ less than last year…(granted we were in the…

*******Please Subscribe To My Blog…..It Really Helps******* It seems like “repairs” are where we’re at right now….. …..but we’re getting there…I’m not sure “where” that is…but we are heading in “that” direction….. After multiple attempts…I think my truck has been repaired…finally….. After the wrong new ($) tires were mounted…then replaced with correct ($) new tires…then the upper drag bar linkage…then the ball joints…then the right caliper…and of course alignment…and now a totally replaced steering gear box….. …..maybe…just maybe…my truck will…

**********Please Subscribe To My Blog…..It Really Helps********** We have two horse trailers….. A bowling alley named the Doozie…and my daughter’s three horse slant….. You’d think I’d be able to get ONE (1) working horse trailer on the road(?)….. Over the summer we battled to get the appropriate new tires on the truck…we just finished having the front ball-joints replaced (upper drag-bar linkage?)…along with the right tie-rod after the right caliper seized(?)….. Good times….. …..something still needs to be done with…

**********Please Subscribe To My Blog…..It Really Helps********** I need to make a disclaimer….. …..!Kids…Don’t Try This At Home!….. Remember my post about bringing Pepper home from the recent Hunt(?)….. And Remember I mentioned that there were a few “hiccups” in getting her home….. …..well…there were….. We ran into a bit of a snag when we were loading Pepper into the trailer….. …..we had known there was (a little bit of) a problem with one (a couple) of the welds on…

*******Please Subscribe To My Blog…..It Really Helps******* I’m feeling duped….. You know that feeling when you’re insides say something’s not right…but the “professionals” around you keep saying that everything’s just fine(?)….. That has recently happened to me….. My (2002 F-350 Ford Dually) truck has six tires…it’s served me well…I intend to be buried in it….. But it recently needed new tires…(really it needs all six new tires…but the tire guy said four would be fine)….. And the nice man proceeded…

Throughout the off-season…the hounds are taken on walks by our Huntsman (Devana)….. …..our Huntsman and the Staff of Whipper-Ins are on foot with the pack of hounds…they all work together….. As the off-season progresses…the walks on foot graduate to mounted hound walks….. …..new members are exposed to a relaxed atmosphere with the hounds and staff and horses……..

*******Please Subscribe To My Blog…..It Really Helps******* CLICK HERE***Maybe This Link Will Get You To My Tick Tock Channel*** Farms are synonymous with repairs….. Nothing stays fixed….. …..it rots…..it breaks…..it’s constantly getting spindled & mutilated by livestock….. Just when you’ve finished a spectacular project…..some fat beast comes along and sits on it….. …..(I’ve discovered the same thing about cleaning the refrigerator or mopping the kitchen floor)….. …..(not that some fat beast squashes it…..but right after you clean the refrigerator…someone inevitably…
