Too funny...the real draw is MyersFarm...That's the only reason I log on...P.s. ship me one of your beautiful Jersey cows to my farm. Man, do you know your Jerseys. Just ship one that doesn't eat much. The two I had, I sold, now after looking at yours I'm tempted to get another...Topside

With all the brilliant conversations in this forum, it is no wonder everyone wants to read here.

It is like standing around the feedstore, only w/o having to pay the tab.

Worst storms I've felt in years, rain beyond belief...glad I'm nestled on a hilltop. Thanks for asking Marc....Hi gone a milkin, love the feedstore, not the prices.

I will have to find something else to do in the summer, Maybe a hay stacking contest. One that gets the most hay in the barn in a day wins. Hehe. > Marc

I don't even own any cattle but sure love to follow this forum. Wonder if I am the only wannabe without cattle who is a faithful follower?
