Dennis,
Cement on the tractor? What, are you afraid the tractor will blow a way?:confused2: Maybe you need to feed it more iron or maybe some RED paint?.:laughing::laughing::laughing:

Hey y'all! I have a nice, young commercial bull, (mostly Hereford) that I am going to sell. He is hand gentle, as in I can walk up to him anywhere, and pet him. He is approx. 15-16 mos old. I was hoping to finish him out, but am rapidly running out of pasture grass. Since he is so gentle, (and I got very attached to him!), I'd rather not take him to market, if someone can use him on some heifers or cows. He is located just a few miles south of Weatherford.
PM me, if you need photos or more info.

Are you saying you'll "loan" out Ferdinand? But that you'd like him back when greener pastures come?

Don, I just did some research from the Atacoma county airport's weather station (about 1/2 mile from me).
Since May 10th, we've had a whopping 0.69" of rainfall....

I actually lost power yesterday for around 2 hours? came on just when the heat was getting bad. The down burst must have dropped a limb on a line somewhere. Things sure greened up too.
Chance of rain here through next Wednesday, so cross your fingers.

Oh..........Booger protects the Big RED Beast and all my stuff. Only language barrier is between Booger and all the squirrels he chases. What has me wondering is why does your cement need protecting.:confused2:My tractor "protects" it! You mean your tractor wont protect your stuff??? Must be the language barrier??:laughing::laughing:

Kyle; I would sell him. Hadn't really thought about "loaning" him, but that might be an option too. His name is "Hereford". I know, original. I wasn't trying to give names, so that I wouldn't get attached. :laughing: I had 3, and sold "Gray" and "Red". Hereford was gentle enough that I wasn't too worried about liability, since neighbors sometimes have horses here for a couple of weeks at a time.
I don't have any girls for him, as I got out of Cow/Calf a few years ago, when the drought really began. With last year's rains, I got the 3 calves to raise and keep the Ag exemption.
This boy was raised on grass, up until about 3-4 weeks ago, when grass began drying up. Was going for organic, but just couldn't get the weather to cooperate. I know with his teenage hormones, he'd be happier with some girls! I'm gonna miss him, and if I sell him for someone for a breeding bull, I may ask for "visitation rights"! :laughing: (Of course, once he has been with the heifers and cows, he probably won't care if I call him to be petted or not!

Wow, I feel like a rain forest. May 10-11 was our last major rainfall that weekend with 1.9". since then the tenths and hundredths have added up to 1.45" for a total of 2.35" since May 10th.

The dryer it gets, the more I realize how blessed I am to have a wonderful water well. Surface weather comes and goes, but my well has just kept on supplying all the great tasting water I can pump. For my return on investment, I like my well the most.:thumbsup: This week, I watched a well drilling rig come down my road to drill a well at a new homesite about 1/4 mile from me. That driller is the same one who got a stuck pipe at 265' at another neighbor's home and had to move over and drill another hole. On the other hand, my driller knows this area and the Trinity Aquifer like the back of his hand. He drilled my well down to 386' without a hitch and it's been perfect ever since. He has trouble-free wells that have been producing great water for over 35 years without ever pulling the pump. I'm not trying to change the subject, but just thinking out loud that when water doesn't fall from the sky, it's a precious gift to have a great well.

Ladies,, Brandi and FG,, it only got up to 92 here.. but the humidity was like 300.:shocked:. really,, I heard someone say "can you believe the humidity is over 300% today".. and the other person who I didn't know,, said.. "my goodness that is unbelievable,, how can it be greater than 100%".. Then the other person that I may have known in another life.. said "I don't know but I heard someone else say it,, so it much be true,, like when you read it on the internet".. Lou
