SD, your pops has to be absolutely raking in some cash with these high beef prices now right? Just killing it as a full time cow farmer huh?

I was out in western ks last weekend visiting my cow farming relatives. My cousin took us city boys out to the farm and let us pet the bulls they have....There are like 4 of them and they were super tame, like I hear BULL and imagine was rodeo monstrosity....but nope.

They were in a pen by the barn and he dumped some "Cake" in a trough and they come rumbling up. There is even one bull that WILL EAT COOKIES FROM YOUR HAND! I snapped a picture of him! Good ole number 403.



Did you ever get the chance to hand feed knock off oreo's to a bull?

Another question for SD. Do all farmers just hold on to random Junk/things/side projects that have because they have so much room?

For example My uncle bought 2 mini horses about 15 years ago and now has like 15, kind of breeds them on the side I guess. (Side note, the male mini horse was in the same pen as the bulls and it was super adorable trying to nuzzle in at the trough).




I asked my cousin what this was all about and in his best  :Carl: y voice he said

"Well, I guess they are worth some money"
"Really people buy them? For what?"
"Well not around here, but you take them down around wichita and people buy them as pets"
"Hmm, when was they last time he sold one?"
"I don't know, maybe 5 years ago but its crazy. They smaller they are the more they are worth"

Do they also sell by weight?  Cause those are some plump ponies.  :ROFL:

we have tons of old junk but a lot of it just came with property we purchased. we don't have any weird non-beef animals other than cats/dogs. we don't even own a single horse anymore.

One of my friends from High School won the 4H napkin folding championship. I don't know if it was regional or state or nationwide or what. I also don't know what 4H is

going into pottorf hall during the riley county state fair and looking at 4h stuff is one of my favorite times of the year. different categories include- best legos that have been put together and best outfits. like kids will go into their closet and pull out under armour shorts and shirt and then enter it. it's great.

I think most of those kids are wearing brand new under armour shorts and shirts that their parents bought just for that competition and wouldn't let them wear until the fashion show.

you should ask. Easy transition..."I read something that bull prices were up like 30% or something like that this year. Does that sound right to you dad? What do you pay for a top bull?"
