    “Big” flat screen TVs

    What do you do with a big 56 flat screen tv when your kids are Messing around & throw something against it & breaks it ... ( besides tanning some back sides ) ....not really broken as in loose glass, but 1/4 of the screen is blacked out with what looks like break lines . The rest of the tv works & looks fine . Is there places that fix these or are they done for & just throw them in a dumpster? Or other places to take them ?

    “Big” flat screen TVs

    Hoghntr - sure we can always use an extra hand Lance - for sure they do - and yea that’s probably what will happen I was more wondering if there was a place that “recycles/fixes” them - or if they are like everything else now days and “disposable” .... just seems a shame to throw it away when everything is still good .... I’m used to a little welding and bailing wire to make things keep going ..... but seems like the dumpster is the answer.

    “Big” flat screen TVs

    Mill house great advise - kids are way to plugged in these days . We had our original 20” tube tv ever since getting married 20 years ago . FINALY last year got the tv on sale . In 20 years of marriage we have never been connected to cable - satellite or any other thing . We’ve had a few vhs’s and now recently Netflix and that’s it . My kids have never the PlayStations x-box’s or anything like that. What they do have is 4 horses , 20 head of mother cows , 30 acres in alfalfa , and another 30 in corn or permanent pasture . My boys 11-14-17 work 6-8 hr every summer day building fence , painting corrals , irrigating , hauling hay , hoeing weeds, cleaning out stalls , feeding , branding , working cows , mowing there law, weeding and picking the garden etc . And most days have the horses ridden before all of that starts . So yea I agree on being unplugged . Kids don’t know how to work these days .

    1/2 a beef

    Now that the draw is done & some freezers wont be getting any elk or deer in them anyone need any beef ? Ive got a really nice steer Im getting ready to take in . Been on nice grass irrigated pasture , not out in tbe dry scrub . My son has a cow elk tag, & we had two cows last year . So Ill be lucky if I get 1/2 in my freezer , so decided to part with the other half . Around 18-20 months old , grass pasture all natural , no hormones . Im no expert on weight & I do not have a scale . But these are fat and sassy & ready to go & not skin & bones turned out culls . $1350.00 for half , cut & wrapped by malapia meat packing , according to your specs .

    1/2 a beef

    You get both sides of heart -tongue & liver I Will take it to malapia meat packing a week from Sunday night & drop it off . they slaughter every Monday morning , then hang it for 10 days or so before processing it to your specs .

    1/2 a beef

    Finished pounds is a hard thing to calculate . How you get it cut up & what you save / eat out of your half . If u leavee all fat, or have it trimmed with no fat , if you keep heart / liver / tongue. If you have everything deboned etc ... all of these makes a difference .... This is roughly what I came up with for price after looking at what I had in These steers , what the QUALITY of these are . And after looking at quite a few different adds on processed beef for sale . I’m guessing at 950 lbs live weight. The average hanging weight is .62% so that’s 589 lbs half of that 294.4 lbs x $3.50 hanging weight is $1030.75. + about $400 to process . = $1430.75 ... I rounded down to an even $1350 to give the benefit to the buyer if I was off a few pnds .... there is an add for beef out of chino valley for $5.00 a pnd hanging weight but that includes processing , with these same #’s that would be $1470.00 , a couple others I found were $4 hanging plus processing = $1578.00 , then I found a few at $6 & $6.50... So I think my $1350 is a pretty fair deal on the quality you are getting. That’s as straight forward & honest as I can be on what I came up with . Yes you can go find cheaper cows right now with the drought, there are a lot of poor looking stuff for sale . This is qualify home grown , natural black angus beef , that you will not be disappointed in it is fabulous . What your actual take home pounds will be like I said would depend on your cut up preference ..... & if when I get them to the butcher & if I’m off quit a bit on weight I’ll adjust price down accordingly .
  16. Started several months ago my dad wanted to re shingle his roof , after about 30 years I guess it needed it , went to Home Depot ordered shingles was given a date they would be here , they didnt show up when promised , nor the week after the that , or the next .....

THEY finally returned our calls AFTER promising 3 different times & taking our money , they called us & CANCELLED our order, oh we cant get / order only a few bundles WTH you didnt know that when we ordered them ? When you took our money ? When you promised 3 different times of a date given of when they would be here , after spending $10k on supplies your just call to say sorry cant get it .... how the heck do people stay in business.... sorry to vent but this has been going on for about 3 1/2 months from the first day we ordered tell today when they canceled our order .... after phone call , after phone call , after phone call , & empty promise after empty promise after empty promise .....

    Horse'n Around

    Nothing like picking your brother up on a horse from school ! Thats sweet ! Those things teaches a kid to work ! Teaches them responsibility! How to take care of things , to have & make goals & work towards something ! All things that every kid needs & 95% Dont have a clue about . Two of my boys hanging out together . Nothing like a cowboy handstand ! ( last pic )

    Are the birds talking for the youth hunt

    They are not going very good but a week can make a big difference. 2 Saturday’s ago had some birds going decent , called in 5 gobblers together . No hens around - this weekend wind was terrible- saw hens by them selves - saw a few groups of hens with gobblers - & saw 10 gobblers together w no hens ( all long beards ) no gobbling at all .... saw 50 hens in a group w NO gobblers .... these are still “winter” groups ....so to me after spending a couple weekends chasing them - they are barely starting w a few gobblers starting to get with hens - & should get better & better each day as things turn on . Just my 2 cents ....
