One problem it's 100+F nine months of the year here. I think the ones that would do best would be Pineywoods

Here it takes a hundred acres to feed a cow.... and temperature wise about the same only it cools off at night. One Gal here raises Brahma Crosses. She says they do very well in the heat. And they handle rough forage as well.

I dont know if this is a possiblity but if there are any brewerys around spent beer grain is a good feed.... Offered here for around 20 bucks a barrel... you bring your own barrel. Chickens love it goats love it...

All I know about cattle is anecdotal.... I listen when people talk about their critters. Lots can be said for sitting in the feed store and chatting with people.

Wow, That's a long time at 100 degree plus temps. I feel for you.

I enjoy it. Usually it's 100F May or June to September, the other four are usually closer to upper 80s mid 90s

Smart duck . Stinky eggs I hate rotten eggs them and my girlish stomach don't get along .

I can't smell rotten eggs much anymore... If they explode I can tell when I open the incubator, but they don't bother me much. Nose is broke.

A hundred for one cow?! Wow. I think we can get about a cow every two acres or so. Brangus are quite common around here. So a gorgeous bull yesterday.

Well there's always the pioneer method. He could just follow the stream . It's got to bubble out from somewhere .

Well yes I did .The hard part was getting the Honda tied on the sewing thread . And then wait for it to raise it's tiny little head high enough to rope it . Must have been an old maggot cause that took forever .

You know somebody gotta want a present to make it worth wrapping

Nice of the King to visit us commoners now and then Just so you know you were talked about while you was away .

I don't know why but I just thought of a Elton John song

I'm thinking the flashing lights might just give away your position

Well when you get the gopher wood and figure of cubits and well started. I'll start rounding up the animals . I'm pretty sure the poultry part will be easy and the monkeys are a sure thing I know we won't have any trouble locating a couple of jackass's But on the rain issue maybe you should think about raising rice this year in the garden . Or we could just go all hydroponics . DW wants me to plant some corn. I'm thinking of throwing the seed on the wet soggy ground and see what happens .More rain coming this way by the end of the week There is a bright side however fish bite good in the rain too. If you get enough you can fish off the porch Hang in there Phil its got to stop sooner or later .

I know some people that are real good with hydroponics.....

flexerol is a muscle relaxor

I know that.... I didn't know what the other one was.... but I already take morphine for pain.
Muscle relaxers I doubt think would help me allot (the buzz might help)..... my pain issues are all damage and inflammation.....NSAIDs would help allot if I could take them.
I take prednisone fit my lungs and it helps keep the inflammation down.....
