“You’re going to need a bigger boat.” It isn’t my favorite movie, but I won’t argue if you tell me that Jaws is the best movie of all time. Obviously, this time-tested classic is on the tube tonight. I herded 60 plus does into the
As usual, I have managed to cram too many things into a given calendar. We just survived the Ellis county fair. This isn’t a big livestock fall fair. However, the FFA and 4H projects are pretty competive. Lots of floriculture, ag mech, photo boards, grass boards and veggies.
Rumour Has It was a buck that I enjoyed using to breed goats. He made some good ones and some better than others. The older he became, the more I disliked dealing with him. He just became unpleasant to deal with. He acted one of these spoiled athletes.

It wasn’t the Chinese this time. It was some perverts. Kellnlivestock.com got hacked and they made their own email from suzanne_banks@kellnlivestock.com email account. Whoever did it, sent out some pretty serious requests. (You know it’s pretty graphic if I think that it was bad!) I would at least like to
Duke and I were talking to some guys. A ladies name came up. I asked the question, “Is she a good cook?” Immediately, one of them replied, “She can’t even spell the word cook.” I took some boys to help load some boxes of food at a church
The weather has been unreal here in paradise for the past couple of weeks. Highs in the 80s, evenings in the 60s with a mild breeze. Hard to believe that it is August in western Oklahoma. The does are weaned and the babies are pounding feed. We’ll sell a few
