I have 3 Pyrenees and the deer will kick their asses for food. They'll chase and fight any coyote so we never have had any problems there. Deer, moose? Another story totally.

Second idea I saw (never tried) in Farm Show magazine was regular T-posts set in place and 10 foot lengths of 1/2" rebar driven into the ground and attached to the T-posts. They attached either woven wire or cattle panels (2 rows high).

We've had luck with a 2 fence system. Inner fence was t-posts and cattle panels maybe 50 inches tall and outer fence is just a single hot wire using step in posts and a strand of poly tape (charged). Outer fence is placed about 3 feet from inner. Deer won't jump both fences at once and the...

Seems a little late for me to ask (2012 unit with over 2000hrs all by me) but am I not supposed to use the foot clutch to do close work like loading bales with a grapple etc? Early on I tried to use the throttle and brake to feather things but just not enough finesse there IMO. Am I doing this...

Saw a tractor rolled over driving into town yesterday. Looked like an Oliver w loader and brushog on the back. Completely upsidedown not just tipped on its side. No ROP.

For years I have bought my tractor and pickup filters from an online place called Filter1. They carry WIX products at reduced prices. Recently, I ordered online and everything seemed to work except I got no e-mail order confirmation. Thought maybe I missed it and waited 2 weeks. Nothing. No...

You think a local vet in town has a cremation facility on the premises? They have them hauled out. Ask me how I know. Dead animals went into the deep freeze until it was full and I had to load them up and haul them off to the pound where they had a facility to render them. My boss was cheap...

Our state has pretty high fuel prices and our diesel prices are the lowest they've been in a few years. Higher than plenty of other states but $3.49 is a lot lower.

The three U.S. states with the highest GDPs were California ($3.6 trillion), Texas ($2.356 trillion), and New York ($2.053 trillion). Only Texas claims 2.3 trillion is larger than 3.6 trillion. Ask all your pals working for state, county or city agencies doing infrastructure projects with...

I know what the national trend says. What does your god say?

A long time ago, I was hired by UPS as a holiday temp worker from T-Day through NYD at a load center in So Cal 11PM to 3AM. Huge place with at least 30 bays for semis to be loaded and I assume the same number on the opposite side of the building for unloading. In between, packages were sorted...

After a week or two and no word on our order, checked a different vendor who had stock (veterinary supplies). Ordered from them and cancelled the other order.

Horses make vets money. Cattle do not. As someone else said, either cowboys or farmhands due the doctoring for most things. If they lose one, that's the cost of doing business. I work with a 9000 cow dairy and they have one vet who visits every week or so to discuss their health management...

But the comment was addressing vets make a lot of money. Not true. A few, maybe, as in the case you state. But that's not common.

So you know he made his 10 million from practicing vet med? Were you his accountant? Have you ever worked in veterinary medicine? Even in small animal med where people will spend money to keep Fluffy alive another year, that's not pushing anyone towards the million dollar mark.
