Goodness sake! The temperatures took a dive and didn't get above zero for the week. The baby lambs have had a hard time keeping warm! But Jeanie Green, the shepherdess, worked hard to catch them before they got too cold and was successful in saving her babies. I haven't heard of anyone calving yet, but I'm sure there are a few! Good luck to all the ranchers who have to be out in this weather. Of course my water froze for the first time in 20 years or so. It used to freeze on a regular basis,...

Here, we have already had a good week of below zero---the worst and lowest temperatures this last weekend----Valentine's Day included. Hopefully the worst cold is...

I’m a gun guy I own rifles and pistols and shotguns. They run the gamut from single-shots, over-and-unders, and side-by-sides to semi-autos, pumps and bolt-actions. I inherited some, bought most, and received a few as gifts. Four months of the year I hunt, a loaded weapon in my hands more days than not. In the off-season I shoot clay targets with the shotguns and kill cans with the .22. Sometimes I fire my 9mm Italian cop rifle just to hear it go rat-a-tat-tat. That being said, I’m sick and tir...
