... NOT BECAUSE 4H OR FFA... THE BELIGERANT IDIOTS AT OUR COUNTY FAIR HAVE SCREWED US ALL MASSIVELY

TO THE POINT THAT 1/2 WAY THRU THE MARKET ANIMAL SALES PUBLIX BUYERS LEFT! SO AFTER 9 MOS OF EXPENSE AND WORK RAISING MARKET STEERS MY KIDS WERE LUCKY TO GET $1.00 A POUND

(KEEP IN MIND WE HAVE 1.93 A POUND IN THEM AND THATS ONLY BECAUSE WE BOUGHT ALL FEEDS IN BULK AND GOT MULTIPLE CALF DISCOUNTS... MOST FAMILIES THERE NEEDED MORE LIKE 2.14 A POUND JUST TO BREAK EVEN. THEY SCREWED THE SALE UP SO BAD THAT 4 PROFESSIONAL BUYERS FROM THE STATE'S LARGEST GROCERY CHAIN WALKED OUT 1/2 WAY THRU THE SALE! ... NICE HUH?

OH AND OUR NICE AG BARNS... YEAH THEY SCREWED THAT TOO, REMODELED THEM SO ALL THE STEERS WERE OUTSIDE IN SOME RINKY DINK LIL TENT CITY SHANTY THAT WOULDNT HOLD A MODERATELY BROODY CHICKEN HEN, WHICH ALSO LED TO A CHILD BEING INJURED BY AN OUT OF CONTROL STEER... AND SEVERAL VEHICLES IN THE PARKING LOT GETTING DAMAGED BEFORE MY SON WAS ABLE TO ROPE THE BEAST FROM A MOVING PICKUP TRUCK... ( 1 OF THE FEW BENEFITS OF HAVING A REDNECK SENIOR THERE

)

LETS JUST SAY THE FULL 10 ROUNDS BETWEEN 4H AND FFA PARENTS AND THE HERNANDO COUNTY FAIR BOARD HAVENT EVEN GOTTEN STARTED YET. EVEN THE COUNTY EXTENSION AGENT IS SPORTING FOR A FIGHT THIS TIME.

THIS KIDS, IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN CITY FOLK TAKE OVER A RURAL AGRICULTURAL COUNTY FAIR... THE EXTENT OF THESE PEOPLE'S MEAT KNOWLEDGE IS KNOWING TO GET THE SUNDAY PAPER FOR COUPONS AND SALES TO SAVE A FEW CENTS ON THEIR HAMBURGER AT THE STORE... LIKELY THE SAME STORE THAT WALKED OUT

You go my man. I am very involved in my community's development with animals and their interaction with humans. It takes someone like you who is knowledgable about processes and is well spoken to represent.

Represent, JJ. You were born for it, the stuff for it.

I DONT THINK WHAT I HAVE IN MIND WOULD BE CONSIDERED "REPRESENTING" IN MOST FOLKS IDEA... THE NEXT FAIR BOARD MEETING IS 2 AND 1/2 WKS AWAY... I WILL BE THERE WITH THE INTENTIONS OF GOING THROUGH THAT PLACE LIKE A TORNADO IN TRAILER PARK! MY DENTIST WILL BE PICKING DENIM FROM MY TEETH 6 MOS FROM NOW AND I'M JUST GETTING STARTED. I DONT RILE EASILY BUT WHEN I DO THERE GOES THE NEIGHBORHOOD... AND RILED WAS 3 ZIP CODES BACK

Really sucks about the sale, sorry. My grandfather was FFA and dairy farmer and I would be sad to read this to him if he were still here, he would be sad to hear it. He ran an FFA fair for ~20 years at our highschool. He ran it right. He built the AG Barn.
I think you are right about the thing and the only shiney I see was your son's roping skills.

to pine,
Sadly, do not see a return from where we are headed. I think there will be some small groups that do it right and individuals, but the money people horde are always looking fast/cheap.
 
Man I was taking care of the quail today and noticed my one female has a huge gash in her head.

I have never ever seen her 2 other cage mates picking on her or each other, they usually get along great.

Should I go ahead and put her into her own cage?

YESSIM THAT WOULD BE PRUDENT... BE IT A BOINK INJURY OR PECKING OR AGRESSIVE MATING.. ONCE ITS THERE IT WILL GET THE OTHER'S ATTENTION AND ITS GAME ON!... BEST TO PULL HER OUT NOW. LIMIT ANY FURTHER DAMAGE AND LET HER HEAL
 
ANYBODY ON THE MARKET FOR A USED CAR? REAL CREAM PUFF! ONLY HAS 250.000+ MILES AND THE ENGINE BLOWN ONCE!

I TELL YA IT WILL MAKE SOMEBODY A WONDERFUL STARTER PAPER WEIGHT
