Pretty common in KS with sheep or goats but I’ve never seen it with cattle that I recall.

my grandfather always talked about coyotes getting a calf, but i don't recall it ever actually happening.  probably it's only a (v low) risk for like the first day or so.  or maybe never.

Grandpa with his mule?  I was told he rode it to hunt raccoons and it could jump fences.   I was like 10 and Grandpa joked a lot so not sure about that story.

They look to much like pets.  They're way too adorable to eat.

Yes, never seen a coyote get one. Have posted a lot ITT on it and any coyote seen eating a baby calf found an already dead baby calf to eat. But farmers are rock hard horny for shooting coyotes so blood must be spilled.

I'm heading out to the cat ranch this weekend because I have nothing going on in the big city and want to cut some more firewood and do some pheasant scouting on some WIHA near the cat ranch.

Looking forward to blessing this bbs with more sunset/badger/random farm implements pictures.

Current plan is to take a picture of the badger if I see it again but there is a 5% chance I YOLO and grab it by the neck to become internet famous.

If you decide you're brave enough to try to catch one bare handed, may you pray to God that you are able to keep some of your fingers.  They will attack an mountain lion and just like a wolverine they usually win.

Great retrospective on the 2021-2022 hard red winter wheat crop in Kansas:

tl/dr:
1. Wheat faced lots of adversity - especially in Western KS and especially until late in the spring.
2. Kansas wheat is very strong - has "9 lives",  if you will and is a great gift to our state and the world.

Software that runs a John deere tractor can be modified to run Doom (video game).  They’re sharing that the John Deere software is just running a version of linux that likely will never be patched/updated.

Cousin silo had wind damage last spring.  Silo is full so the crew got after replacing the dome this week.  He repainted the top bricks while he had the chance too.  Silo is probably 50 years old.
