Not a soft cast on his left hand. It went from wrist to bicep and it was huge.
Played hard the whole game so much so that even the LSU fans would cheer him and his no quit attitude. (Course they were up 40 with not a lot of time left so they could afford to. Just a tribute to his toughness).

Can’t you just put a couple of 1x4 blocks or some such so the door doesn’t go all the way to the floor ? Remove in good weather.

Mr Bozant was a good man and it appears he had a great life. I never suspected.

Agree on Schluter. Simply the best. He said he’s been using that for over 20 years. Great warranty as well.

No, we are strictly cow/calf. Raise the calf to 500-600 lbs and sell them either to a sale barn or a buyer who ships them to a feedlot in Oklahoma.
The sales I was referring to are fall/ spring sales where you can get a better quality heifer or young(ish) bred cow. Probably pay a little more, or a lot more, depending on what you choose to go after.
One sale we went to there was an old man, well known around there, who sat next to us for twelve hours, never made a bid, then all of a sudden over the next hour or so he bought a dozen. Waited until he saw exactly what he was looking for.
Prices are crazy right now, though. But you can still find good deals if you are patient and selective.
We don’t keep near as many sheep as we used to and should probably go ahead and sell the rest, but they aren’t taking any grass away from the cows and I really do like having them.

Couple things -
If you buy from a sale barn, buy at a stocker sale. Couple times a year at each barn. You can pick up some nice cows then, less likely to be culls. May not be cheap, though.
Depending on the pasture and the area, you can put 15-25 head, 25 is pushing it but with rotational grazing you can squeeze a few extra head in.
If you also want sheep, have your fences so when you move the sheep out you can move the cattle in, to “vacuum” the pasture. The biggest problem with sheep is internal parasites. This will help with that. Not a lot of money in sheep, you really need a couple of regular buyers that will buy all your lambs as they reach the desired weight.
Unless you want to buy hog wire, electric fence can work.
You will need a pen to catch the cows with an alley leading to the head gate. Try to anticipate any hazards and make it as safe as possible for you and your animals.

Believe they go up through woodville. Live in Iberville parish.
I do know he’s gone way out in Texas to rabbit hunt, and we’ve gone to south Texas nearly to Laredo to hunt hogs and rabbits on a ranch there.

Easiest, cheapest, most efficient way is to hang a netting around wherever they are going in and out. Leave it open at the bottom with it being at least three feet or so long. When they come out at dusk they can’t figure out that they need to go down to the opening and then up to their hole. Two evenings, max to be sure all the stragglers have gone.
Get some lawn chairs and watch the evening show. We usually try to count them as come out, it may be a few hundred of them.
They will find another place to hang out.

Be sure to leave a perimeter back.

About a year ago I stopped at a small store here in our town to get air. Put a quarter in the machine and nothing. Well, frick. Put another quarter in - same result. Went inside to tell them the machine ripped me off. They asked how much I put in, so I said 50 cents. They said “ Dude, it’s like 2 dollars”. What the frick ?

Some really good responses here.
As far as the Tickfaw/Blood/Natalbany rivers pay strict attention to the wind. They will not bite when the wind is out of the East. At all. They bite best when the wind is from the west and the water is going out. Fish around cover in 2-8 ft, crickets or worms. Worms last longer. Around march or April is the absolute best time when the caterpillars are falling out of the trees.
