Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkBack in my younger years, we used to hunt rabbits. When we got a Jack we would give it to the dogs, cause they taste like crap. Cottontails are much better tasting, but can only hunt during cold weather. This is due to some disease they can carry in warm weather, but kills them in cold weather.

I randomly found a link to the "brand book" from the 80's a couple of months ago but don't have it on hand. Also I just noticed today that the chimney of our farmhouse has the first letter of our last name up at the top of it.I ordered ours from the state a few years ago. They sent the original. On the back was each renewal date.Somewhere along the way the iron got lost. I wish I still had that.TomSent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk

Used the 1941 brand book to find both of my great granddads' brands. Ol' Great Granddad WonderMeal had the coolest brand in Meade Co. Tom and other beef magnates--is there any benefit to branding a cow in one part of the body vs. another? I'm guessing you always put the brand in the same place so that the N-quarter-circle in Spearville isn't confused with the N-quarter-circle in Medicine Lodge, but like...is it better or easier to brand a cow on the shoulder vs. the ribs?

Would try and hide in the buffalo grass but this was in the mowed portion of the yard so it did not work very well. They are not smart creatures. Dam cats need to start earning their keep.
