  1. Pretty sure that's a map of my wife in Target
  2. I remember back in the 90's the big ostrich meat "is as good as beef and lean as chicken" craze. Then ranchers realized that those big, dumb birds can kill you in a heartbeat and are almost impossible to manage. Saw more than a few just turned loose by the side of the highway. Those birds are F'ing dangerous.
  3. Laughingly, yes you can get insurance on livestock. Brah, those were the sheeeeepz. Those worthless turds are born looking for a way to die.
  4. Rancher bear us has one. Big boy. Seeing his coat with a nice, rusty color that looks an awful lot like blood always makes me smile.
  5. Yeah, they can be maddening at times. G-father used to curse them daily, especially with his fences. If you get a cup of water, throw it at the fence, and if the water can get through the fence.....so can the damn goats. The good news is that if you just need them to clear land, they are cheap, hardy, and don't need a ton of care. Just a way to transport them back & forth.
  6. They do. He probably means all the leftover gristle, etc.
  7. Getting flashbacks of driving through the pass at night between Durango and Telluride. Fun times.
  8. This. You have to cover the herd for sure. Keep them safe at night or run donkeys/dogs with them. Hunters this year nicked a deer and my cousin has blood-tracking dogs with GPS collars. Found the deer within 24 hours, reduced down to the bones. Think of the old piranha scenes in the movies. Just gristle and bone.
  9. Would have been better if the villain that goes by the moniker "Asian hornet"
  10. Ran a few errands. Full size Tundra with slightly oversized Cooper ATPs on it. No reason to even engage 4x4. No real weight in the bed. It's just slushy. No ice.....yet. Didn't slip and slide or have any issues overcorrecting except when I purposefully gunned it to scare my sassy little daughter.
  11. Yep. Family is WA state deal with this all the time. Hell, they were cutting x-mas trees yearly for a while in the mountains and had to gear up to do it. Brother's big Dodge always gets punked when my dad and his little '09 Tacoma jut snakes it's way up the trails that the bigger trucks can't manage.
  12. It makes sense. Ranchers have known this for decades. Hell, the old boy near us reclaimed a bunch of overgrown ranchland with a bunch of scraggly old goats. Looks like a bomb went off after a few days.
  13. THIS. I mentioned this five or so pages back. Getty has been doing this for years. Put up a hot-fence a few acres at a time and let those little monsters do what they do. The larger vegetation who's root system anchors the soil wouldn't be impacted, but all the ground vegetation can be reduced significantly
  14. Yep, everyone with a 4x4 thinks it's the magic cure. Sure, it can help you start, but not stop....and AT/Mud tires on snow & ice are dogshit. I was crossing a small overpass once near Sherman in a 4x2 truck with no weight in the back. Did a complete 360 and never touched either side of the guardrails. Thankfully nobody was around as I obviously cleared both lanes, but damn. Sobering to say the least. I also remember the days before they lowered the gradient on Ranger Hill. Half the state would get stranded.
  15. Lucky for me I get to go to the airport in the morning. LFG!
  16. Snowing in N. DFW quite a bit. Both the city and my wife might get 6+ inches today
  17. AH FUCK, Bob's grilling again. Trigger the countermeasures!
