A while back there was a move to enact a bill which would require everyone who drove a tractor to get a commercial license to drive them on the road. While still in committee, the US Ag Department had committee members make farm visits. They soon realized it would be a horrendous task to monitor and backed off the bill.

As for Oklahoma's no retrieval law...We have replaced fences and have locks on all our gates because of an unscrupulous neighbor. If one of our cows/heifers etc show up on his land it will be because a lock has been cut. We then just have to contact the local sheriff and go with the sheriff deputy to identify our animal. We lobbied against this new bill for the reasons you listed. Good neighbors work with each other. If someone's animal were to get thru the fence to our property, I'd want that owner to come tell us and let us help get their animal home. A man next door to my MIL ran his truck over the barbwire fence so he could run his bull back home and then left the fence in a mess for us to have to repair. Also some "never farmed" elected officials have no idea what goes in to having livestock.

Happy Thanksgiving!

I haven't finished the green bean casserole yet, but there's plenty of time. Our gathering will not be until 4:30. When my brothers and sisters were little, our Thanksgiving traditions included watching the big parade on TV and watching the Twilight Zone marathon until Mom and Dad made us turn it off. We took turns pointing out the good parts, or explaining that the best part was just a few minutes away, so we often managed to keep the marathon on for the better part of the day. There was always a smess (silly chess) board set up and Dad kept track of who won and who played next: Thanksgiving smess tournaments were grueling. The meal was usually turkey, dressing, curried rice or curried rolls, mashed potatoes and gravy, greed beans, cranberry sauce, and pumpkin pie for dessert. Makes me homesick.

walmart! i say buy local as much as possible...
off to figure out how to cook this turkey- any suggestions?

We cook our turkey upside down. It isnt very pretty when it comes out of the oven but it is nice and moist. We cut into the skin and loosen it up, in several places. Then we stuff those places with garlic butter. Make sure to add PLENTY of garlic to your butter and mix it up real good. It has alway been great. And you never have to baste it, just wrap in foil but it in the oven and walk away. Of course we usually cook ours over night. Cook at about 350 to 375 for about 4 to 6 hours, then turn in down around 150 to 200 for the night.

WOW, I can stand on my head, but not near long enough to cook a turkey

Thanksgiving humor, Happy Thanksgiving all.

Its a real chore to stay upsidedown the whole time, but it s worth teh effort. tender moist turkey with garlic butter flavor. the bones stay in place all teh meat is in the pan ahving fallen off the bone. I have met several who did not like turkey until they tried it the way I make it. Steph and I have differing opinions on cooking it, I just keep it at 175-180 for 12 hrs, she like ti turn teh temp up on me which I think dries it out more.

Hope you all have a great holiday with friends and family, wish everyone save travels.
