March 7. That was the last time that I had a hair cut. I’m not a prideful person when it comes to my hair. I still have it. It is getting grayer and grayer. I have more than my YOUNGER brothers which is further proof that I am genetically superior. I needed a haircut as it was getting so thick that a cap didn’t fit properly. So, I went to get my haircut this afternoon.
Colors are important in the day2day life of most people. I like orange and black. It doesn’t make me buy more of something but I do like the colors. I also like green. Actually, I really like the green color of 100 dollar bills. I also like green grass, green tractors and such. There is a reason that John Deere stuff is worth more. I like the colors pink, black, blue and OH, I really
One only has to deal with either of my offspring to realize that being hard-bearded, driven, draw a line in the dirt, goal oriented issues–is a genetic trait. I will take the blame for this. Is this a Kelln trait or derived from the Schneider side? How about double-bred on the sire side. Now, throw in some genetics from the maternal side. What do you get? Two damn great kids if you ask the Dragon
It is getting late on this evening that was filled with tornados. Nothing serious, but my parents sent cell phone pics of 2 funnels in the same picture. Luckily, nobody was hurt. I got home from a speech contest and headed to the kidding barn. I enjoyed a break from kidding this winter, but I am kind of glad that there are babies on the place. I poured feed in pans, put hay with
Is there a correction in the marketplace? Personally, I think that we had already seen the correction and my buck sale is proof. Wait? What? When? Look at the wether sales the past year and this current year. There has been quite a high percentage of wethers selling for $7,500 and up. And then there is a bunch at the $2,000 and down. There is not many selling for 2-7K. There is a STRONG market
The word BLOG is a four letter word and should be dealt with as such. At times, this deal is a pain in the donkey. Other times, it is flat fun to sit down here and dispense info. And then there are those times that I have dang sure caused some issues for the words that I put on here. Over the years, I have received phone calls, texts and emails regarding info on this
I really hope that I don’t see nor hear any thunder this weekend. Several people are traveling from other states to look at online sale bucks. However, the weather people are saying that we have a chance of wet weather. I don’t want wet. Not at this time. We are not set up for showing bucks in the rain. However, there is a non-descript early 90s band called Thunder. I even have a Thunder song
It stays hectic around here. But, we did make time to eat a wicked good ribeye dinner on Monday night. It was good just to sit and chill a bit. I don’t watch much basketball. I used to when it was actually basketball. However, I did watch the national title game. Tammy was excited as Duke and I watched this basketball game with her. First, I wanted Tech to win. Second, I had watched Tech
Yes, I know that it has been several days since I hit the keyboard. To be honest, I’ve been asleep. For the past thirty years, I have been running on little to no sleep. I’m used to it. Now, I have to deal with some medical type deals and wham!! Heck, I’ve been sleeping at night–all night. I’ve had to take naps. I ain’t used to this and it is kicking my donkey. They
Saturday was our scheduled day to clip and photo yearling bucks. The weather report was warning of cold. Fine. We weren’t prepared for the wind. Should have been but nobody warned us. I’ve been on a very tight schedule lately, so I did not load all the bucks and haul to Perry like I have in years past. Instead, Braden Schovanec, Blaine Rue, Duke and I tackled them all. Blaine & Braden clipping. Duke and
