Might sound minor to some, but you might want to show Pepsi, and hsus how you feel about the hsus signing up for a Pepsi grant to "help abused and neglected animals". I think we are all aware of the fact that the hsus gives only $1 for every $200 donated to actual care of animals. So...... Go...

Just wanted to say "I wanna be "just average"" like Sal Giunta, an Iowa soldier who is being awarded the Medal of Honor. The first since the Vietnam War. What a remarkable young man. He represents everything our country NEEDS to be.  Yep, I aspire be "average"  like him.  (If you don't...

Just heard of the Dem's idea to reduce our debt:  Raise retirement age to 69, raise federal tax another 15 Cents PER GALLON, reduce Social security payments, reduce medicare payments to hospitals And not one single peep about reducing the FREE RIDE that every single congressman gets for their...

Oh nancy, you had such words for the last several months.... slamming all your co-workers, pulling your puppet strings, and standing in front of everyone and defying the public. Where art thou NOW nancy? Too busy packing your bags to make a public appearance? Too busy working on that "botox...

Some of you remember about a year ago, someone advertised wooden calf coffee table on here. Well, I ordered one for a wedding gift. And when I received it, I was blown away. It was perfect. And the couple was at loss of words. So, to the folks who made that table:  THANK YOU!!!  And get ready...

I have been baking since I was 5. I have a chocolate chip cookie recipe that is THE BEST but recently (within the last 6 months) the Crisco butter flavor shortening is different. It "melts" at high room temperatures, and my cookies are super flat and a bit oily.  I tried all blue bonnett, but...

I have to think to myself :  If a church or another group had planned to burn the Holy Bible, would there be such gibberish about blowing people up? Would there be such protest? Would obama be speaking out against it? Would anyone care?

So it is sale season, and my mail box is stuffed with sale catalogs. I find it utterly amazing what you can read in these catalogs! I mean really, what are some of these people thinking when they write this stuff? I thought I would start a thread with all the crazy things you can find and read...

A great sale with wonderful support from the entire state of Iowa! Many records broke with the grand steer bringing 45,000. I didn't get the other prices but if I recall the lamb and hog also set records. Nice job to all.

Looking to purchase a "new to me"  vehicle and have narrowed it down to these two.  Does anyone own either?  Anyone have any advice? Pro's and Con's? Thanks.

Please explain your answer. Also, I know premier and lister clippers come in different sizes so tell me which one you have or prefer. How easy is it to change blades on your choice?  Tools needed? Thanks

I wish Arizona the best of luck defending their RIGHT to defend their state against illegals. Shame on obama for even THINKING of taking them to court (let alone actually DOING IT), when they should be thanking Arizona for doing THEIR job!!!  GO ARIZONA GO!!! I wish we had their Governor!!

Anyone heard anything or have a schedule?

Happy 4th to all!!  I know my country has many faults, but it has so many more strengths!  I wouldn't live anywhere else (Ok, I might CONSIDER Australia) My plans:  Having a few friends over. Grilling beef tenderloin, garden fresh veggies (green beans, red potatos, broc, carrots, yellow summer...

To all high school students:  As a teacher and member of a bully task force, I am seeking suggestions and ideas on how to handle bullying in high school. What would you suggest to stop bullying? How would you educate kids to NOT bully? How would you feel comfortable reporting bullying? How...

I have more semen then I know what to do with, so I thought I would list it, and let people make offers. I would like to sell in one group, but can divide up. I can deliver to Hawkeye in Iowa for delivery. Angus: Absolute Power - 3             Bando 0699 - 3             Cowboy Up - 2          ...

Has anyone kept track of what percentage you get when you AI with heat detection versus timed AI within the same herd? If I ususally get 70% conception with heat detection, what percent might I expect from timed AI? If you get exceptional conception with timed AI, what exactly do you do to...

While checking my cows after a storm, these two little girls kept playing "Queen of the pasture".  I had my camera, so I snapped a quick photo. Which one do you like better? One is a  PB Red Angus and the other is sired by a Dr.Who son out of a PB Red Angus cow.

The cow is a 2006 model (4 years old). She is a BWF. Right now, she is not exposed to a bull, and I have two straws of Walks Alone to AI her with. (This is just an option. The new owner will of course have control over AI'ing her!) She is a out of a Meyer 734 son out of a commercial occXsimmi...

Just thought I would give an exceptional man his due.  Mr. Suh (I apologize, I can not spell his first name!) was just the second pick in the NFL draft pick. He was a football player from Nebraska. Even BEFORE the draft, this young man, donated $2 million dollars to Univ of Neb, and ANOTHER...
