Thanks for the like. But I see the OP wasn't so keen on my reply! I wasn't even being snipey either. Just answering her question.

Thanks for the like Kevin

I feel like starting an Internet argument or at least aggravate some people so if you see some crazy thread, it'd probably me being an idiot again. By the way I think men barrel racing is very gay too. I'm just being diplomatic on here so I can keep it going and mess with people. Heehee.

I'm not that curious. You should just get a facebook under an alias like Cow Chick. Then you can still do some trading and such without the drama.

I got pissed off with FB and deleted my profile...so I can't get on there anymore..lol

That was what I heard and that was about a month or so ago. I don't even know who to get a hold of. I will ask my hubby to ask the next time he talks to his friend. I suppose if all else fails there should be phone number for the HQ in the phonebook?

It can take a lot of acres per cow or sheep but they do live there and do quite well. Some of the land is only good for winter or spring grazing because of the lack of water in the summer months. It takes some work and tough stock but almost everywhere in Utah is grazed to some degree at some point in the year.

Hi Kevin,

This is a Brit asking you about Utah, hope you do not mind!

A while back I drove from Idaho through Utah to Col, and was amazed at the harshness of the high dessert. I noticed that most was wired fenced so assume that cattle did graze there, though nothing much seemed to be growing (July time and a heat wave!)

I loved the bleakness and the harsh beauty of the state and fully understand that it is not all like that but, does livestock survive on such bleak land?

Thanks,

Linda

Thanks that's nice of you to say!

Kevin, you are so funny and truthful and Right most of the time, it just kills me. I would love to share a goat bbq with you one day! Cheers!

I don't know. Maybe it worked so good the first time she thought she might try it again.

How many folks remember that the BLM herds used to be culled by rifle? It's always been a expedient way to reduce the numbers quickly and efficiently. It really wasn't that long ago....

Ok folks, in Australia, brumbies are an absolute pain in the backside. The Australian landscape is a very delicate one, and our native animals extremely sensitive. Brumbies running in huge numbers in...

Saskia, money is ALWAYS the problem. What would you propose we do, other than culling? It would be lovely to see them all round up and living out their lives in big grassy paddocks being looked...

I agree that both the terms "rescue" and "abused" are both so overused that they've lost much meaning. There is a certain type of buyer who will find a horse with a sad story more attractive...

Since there is no difference in how one trims a horse for "work" versus how one would trim a horse for pasture puff duty, it begs the question... are these "farriers" lacking in knowledge or is there...

Some of my neighbors still use stock racks to haul horse into their mountain pastures. They run cattle where you can't get a truck and trailer. We used them on several ranches when we only...

I personally dont see a problem with it. Like some of the others said... the horse was secure and they were driving reasonably. Untill a few years ago we transported our belgian logging horses on...

Am I the only one who remembers the cattle racks that used to be sold to go into the back of a truck. I thought that was what the slots in the bed of a truck were originally created for... temporary...

A) I fail to see the problem. Horse is calm and looking around. Driver is accelerating and driving moderately. There is a frame high enough to keep him in there. B) Some of you people make me...

This just seems like being neighborly, to me. I would take the time waiting to chat with the other group. I suppose you could always ask them if they mind if you pass on by.

Oh, I agree...most of FDR's programs should have had sunsets on them and should have been disolved when the depression was over. And proper measures and actions could have prevented the depression....

I like these kind of posts. You throw money down the drain because you love horses. my wife loves horses too and i willingly throw money down the drain too in order for my wife to be happy. What i...

Missy May, we may never agree about poliitcs but your post about Dirtroadangel was right on the money. You got my vote. Shalom

I agree - no one should feel they can't or shouldn't contribute. We all get passionate about what we believe in, and I'm sure I'm not the only one that has to carefully edit what I say...it is not...
