    Pneumatic Tee Post Driver

    We have one and my husband said it takes some getting used to.  He had shoulder surgery sometime ago and we bought one thinking it would help him drive the tee posts.  He said they are pretty heavy and you have to get a rhythm going.  Someone else that has full use of their arm my like it better.

    Honest opinions please

    Interesting comment Sammie... No, these pictures don't do the heifers justice...IMHO. Yes, they are all born in March of 2011. As for the breeders....both families are really great people and in it for the kids.  They have always been honest and truthful with us and I wouldn't expect anything...

    Looking for a good place to have Jr. Nationals in TX

    Sulphur Springs has an air conditioned arena....don't know about price.  Plus, if you have people coming from up north it is closer for them than something a little more south.
