End of a long day. Relaxing watching heifers and their first calves. I am blessed. Pulled 3 calves this season. 1 dead curly leg and breach, 1 dead breach, 1 alive and doing well! 3 sets of twins with 2 now on nurse cows while the third is a sneak thief stealing from the mama cows until we can catch it! Life has a rhythm here that city folks kinda miss. 2/19/19
‘Texas alfalfa’ aka Red root pig weed! The bane of farmers! The love of ranchers! Colloquial name? Careless weed! It could care less where it grows! This is growing in a neighbor’s wheat field. They don’t last long on the ranch!
Awesome day trip to the "WOODS"! Anyone know what this is?
No electricity for water pumps.
A scorpion with little ones on its back! South Texas is scorpion paradise! Yard work, Loading square bales ‘hay’, Pulling green corn all could be hazardous! However I prefer 'zapps’ from scorpions over wasps or honey bees as they dont hurt as much. According to my grandfather when dried corn was hand harvested 'pulled’ and tossed into a mule drawn wagon the harvester could expected many scorpion stings on his/her hands. Asking about gloves he replied gloves made it difficult to grip the corn so were not used.
Folks south Texas is having a major rain event! 10 to 15 inches in two weeks! Amazing!
Doc, I enjoy your blog!
Your blog is useless and lame, as are the ppl who follow you. Just delete it.
I might delete it one day. Today’s not the day.
Good dads that will make you smile
