Looks like SD didn't know how to call cows growing up.

good cowboys can tell if a cow is sick from like a hundred miles away. sddad can drive into a pasture of like 500 cows and point to some random one all the way at the end and say it's sick and it always is. he says it's because of the way they put their head or something. like hangs down or they walk funny or junk. also if one's not with the others it's sick. then you give them this cow medicine called nuflor and it makes them instantly better. it's like some miracle cow medicine. or they die. about 50/50.

cow needles for their medicine? about as big around as your wrist. it would be like getting shot if you had one jabbed at you. and they don't even GAF when you stab them with it.

We would always call our horses to come eat by shaking the bucket of feed and yelling "Hup, hup, hup, hup".

RE: goats. I made one phone call to a large animal vet last night and was offered a pair of goats for free. What in the world.

SD doesn't know what you're talking about.

I'm with sd here, animals just come when you feed them, you don't need to call them

steve dave,

Can I have/borrow a tractor?

do farmers pay attention to the tv storm warnings?
i'm talking about the ones that the local stations put up with the radar and the banner warning thing that scrolls across the screen for hours at a time?

they drive me nuts when it's all over my tv screen during a show and the storm is way up 100 miles north in a county where like 1 seed lives.
my guess is that they don't pay any attention to them since more than likely, the seed's family has lived on his farm for 100 years and knows more about incoming storm than gary lezak does.

i would guess that the seed and his family is out battening down the hatches around the farm, not huddled around the tv getting weather updates but maybe.

pissclams · « **Reply #634 on:** May 25, 2016, 09:10:43 AM »

maybe i'm underestimating the number of seeds per county but are there non-farmers in these rural counties or are they all farmers?

I'm not surprised how many animals SD and Lib^7 have let die under their watch.

i would guess these guys don't have cable tv way out in BFE seed land but i don't have any data on how far these local KC station's signal travels, maybe they are watching tv

the weather radio should eliminate the need for the channels to clog up my screen with worthless crap. omg we're having a thunderstorm during the spring in the midwest, oh no! alert the world!

Seeds probably have satellite, like mir

Can confirm to all of this. You haven't #YOLO'd until you've been to Fanning's or Rowland's far out in the flint hills. They watch local Topeka news stations for fun.

My FIL watches it because 1) he might have ground way over there too, or 2) he needs to bitch about them getting the moisture and not him.

The hobby farm is close to the fanningrowlands and they do stuff like ride quads and tractors and watch hgtv and drink beer for fun

Well, do they have a million John Wayne VHS's, lib?

Because #YOLO!

I'm with sd here, animals just come when you feed them, you don't need to call them

If they are way out in the pasture, how do they know unless you shake the feed bucket or yell or something?

Sd, have you ever had a cow starve to death because it didn't know when to eat?

Lib, I want to sell my cows for fat cash. I don't want to eat your vegan cows that never eat, because you don't call on them.

My dad shared a funny tidbit with me over the weekend. He has a few tiny pieces of land in areas surrounding Manhattan, so he goes to auctions and stuff. He said that farmers in the area get pissed when Jordy Nelson comes in and outbids them for land.

My dad's explanation was also on point: "Because, see, he's rich, you know?"

farmers (cow and plant) get super angry when they lease land and then someone else either leases it for more or buys it and tells them they can't lease it anymore. like they have some weird farmer belief that the land belongs to them or some crap. and like chum says people with a lot of money that buy land are bad.

Isn't this what kicked off the dildo clan saga?
