Sounds like you've done a good job of explaining the " facts of life" to your little girl, my compliments to you. By doing this you have made future decisions easier. I think you made the right choice by laying the facts out and letting the kid make their own mind up. Bravo !!!!

I have an '09 Wilson with top punch sides and 2 vents under the neck. No problems as I can see.

Hope you have a time, just keep this in mind- if you finish in the middle of your class you are doing good.

I'm in my 50's and I quit about 5 years ago when the doctor found melanoma on my bottom lip. They took 3/4 of an inch out of the middle, 2 lymph nodes and all of my nicotine habit. After more cat scans than I want to remember , 6 nuclear body scans and a whole shit load of doctors, I'm cancer free.

I buy RV filters at Walmart. They are carbon filters so they take chlorine taste out along with sediment. Another plus is they're CHEAP.

Our county fair auction is different than most. Each family asks companies we do business with to participate and most do. The sale committee sets the market price by averaging different bids on each specie. The buyers bid on each animal they want. The buyer or buyers as several bidders usually...

Hats off Jason. Great job on a great website.

We laid a couple fitting mats under a friends steer a couple years ago. Worked pretty slick. You just have to slide them under as they lay down.

We show at several fairs and jackpots around the midwest and use a generator practically daily. We carry a 8000 watt unit to run a Sullivan double blower setup and up to 3 fans. Our blower must have a separate 30 amp circuit for each unit. My experience is these blowers run at 20 to 25 amps each...

My soybeans have had 9/10s on them since planting. They look OK but corn is really hurting. I have a patch of alfalfa that is 1 year old that made 50 sm. square bales off of 4 acres. Rains get within 20 miles and disappear.  A neighbor told me yesterday that he saw 2 hummingbirds carrying a...

A quote from a plaque on a neighbors wall -" A big woman or a big barn has never done any farmer harm"

Heard this one the other day--- An old farmer was laying on his death bed, about to take his last breath when he came to and smelled his favorite cookies baking. He drug himself out of bed, crawled to the kitchen and swung open the door. Sure enough the kitchen counters were covered with...

A friend of mine saw a picture of a steer on a website  a couple years ago. A really beautiful animal- nice lines, hairy, a little chrome on the show side, just the animal they where looking for.  They made arraignments with the owner to see him in person. Drove across Iowa and low and...

Seems to me the heat last summer did more damage than we thought. Here in the Midwest I've talked to several producers who've had terrible calving rates, open cows that were 100% producers and abnormal things. Maybe weather has more effect than we suspect.

I have a 24 ft. Wilson and love it. They are probably not the cheapest trailer you can find. I have friends that have been in the livestock hauling business since before WW 2 . They will not buy anything but a Wilson. When they put 100,000 miles a year on them and they last for years and years...

You will never hear me whine about getting beat by a superior animal- but in the same light, you don't want to be around me when I get beat by an ear tag with someone name on it.

Boy, how do you tell someone about something that effects almost everything you do every day. An Ag teacher made me who and what I am today. With alittle help from family, friends and God.

Thank you to all that served and thank you to whomever posted this.
