An especially "exciting to me" addition to my fall schedule

Maureen Diaz of GOD’S GOOD TABLE is joining me at Tara and Aaron Helmick’s farm in Greenville WV.

We are planning a two day event. Day one is more focused on the home and the garden, sourcing and preparing clean,and nutritious food. Day two is more about the farm, the soil, and the livestock. A live animal demonstration will cap off the end of day two. For more information click HERE

25 Republican Govenors have joined in Support of Texas in Securing the Southern border

The following is from Newsweek … and surprisingly other LIBERAL news organizations have also reported on this

“A total of 25 Republican governors backed Texas Governor Greg Abbott's "right to self-defense" in a joint statement issued on Thursday.

On Wednesday, Abbott issued a statement accusing President Joe Biden of violating "his oath to faithfully execute immigration laws enacted by Congress." Abbott has been fighting with the Justice Department over his migrant deterrent tactics as he tries to secure the U.S.-Mexico border from illegal crossings.

The joint statement by Abbott's fellow Republican governors read: "We stand in solidarity with our fellow Governor, Greg Abbott, and the State of Texas in utilizing every tool and strategy, including razor wire fences, to secure the border.

"We do it in part because the Biden Administration is refusing to enforce immigration laws already on the books and is illegally allowing mass parole across America of migrants who entered our country illegally."

Is it simply a FALSE FLAG … go HERE for a Michael Yon interview

Map of states backing Texas

In my opinion, it is sad that ONLY 25 states have joined this fight.

Looks like a lot of borders will need protecting at some point in the future!

…and I live on the South Western side of Idaho about 15 miles from where the border with Oregon starts to get “curvy”

The map below caught my attention today . . .

I apologize that today’s blog does not deal with livestock. I would simply like to have a country to have livestock in twenty years from now. Perhaps this is part of that, “Your old men dream dreams” thing.

Feeling the need to apologize for a mistake I made...

Back in the 1990’s, there was quite a bit of linear measurement work done in a feedlot in Nebraska. One of the big things to me to come out of that was the correlation that for each increase in the heart-girth measurement being larger than the top line (Pins to Poll) the extra gain amounted to 37# (this is from 18,000-ish head of cattle). Interestingly, those animals required 37 fewer pounds of grain.

Somehow in my retelling of this story I substituted “POUNDS OF RED MEAT” for “POUNDS OF GAIN”

I found this when going through some older power points.

With regret for any injury I may have caused to any of you who heard me say “pounds of red meat’ at a school or perhaps stumbled across it on one of my thumb drives, I do hope it did not cost you go too far down the wrong rabbit hole.

Give me a call if you want to discuss this further…
