We have 2 that were definitely bred by him because it was before the 2nd bull was put in the field...might be 3 or 4 possibles since it was right when the other bull went in.... problem is, since he was bigger and more dominant, we think he prevented the other bull from breeding some of the...

He won't leave this area with all the property he owns... no he told me that he had "won a trip" back awhile ago and had to take it in April... probably one of those time share BS crap... or who knows... it was such a big secret... so whatever...
She does not want to get married... and he can't...
I don't know about show animals... around here backfat is not something that is ever mentioned at any of the stockyards... just weight and people look at the animal getting sold... I do not do anything with FFA or 4-H youth so really have no experience. I do know that the hogs that win are...

I have butchered older sows and gotten all the normal cuts off them... hogs do not get tough like beef can... I had several big sows when the prices were really bad... that weighed over 400 lbs.... that I had butchered and did ham steaks, pork chops, everything...

It is a well known fact that most show dairy heifers are real B!TCHES when they first come fresh and have to become actual "working members" of the farm... no long spoiled pampered "darlings" .... the bigger the pet, more often the bit@#%ier they are doing what is supposed to come naturally...
The average return on potatoes is supposed to be 10 # harvested for every pound of seed potatoes planted...
Las year I planted about 40 # seed potatoes from something like 17 different varieties... I harvested just under 380 lbs potatoes... some did good some not so good... Different areas of...
No she wouldn't have had anything to tube it with, but who knows...did not have raspy lugs at least... it just never should have gone anywhere but to the nurse cow pasture barn.. I think it may have been fed too much and that doesn't help... shoulda woulda coulda. I was going to give it some...
I stand corrected... thank you. Yeah, they might be different out west... he looked a little light to be a painted turtle... but there are a couple "sub species" and the ones in Conn are a little different from the ones in the beaver pond in VT at grandparents place.. and even a little...
