Wish I had photo shop. I would transpose hotdog sticks in this picture.

Reminiscing around the ol campfire about the hard day trashing hunter camps - off the permit....

Oh, man, I wish I had pics of the late afternoons when we roasted hotdogs over the embers during mop-up. Even now we always ask, "did anybody remember the 'dogs?"

Note: a long maple cane with two internodes will hold five dogs at a distance comfortable for even the biggest slash pile.

I don't know about that. Now is the best time to sell steers (and that cute little heifer), bbq season starts Saturday. And she did buy a used dog. To be honest I have lost track of beef prices since I let my subscription to WLJ expire. Same with Capital Press.

The sale barn (101 Livestock) has sales on Tuesdays and they have the best burgers in 50 miles. Once the kids are out of school my daughter and I will be there for lunch.

This is true. I could buy some of that bull if I had a bigger freezer. These guys get butchered at home and are happy meat. All grass fed too. Good stuff.

There's always a cow that is an escape artist, and it is hard enough chasing them down horseback on the east side (sagebrush). It would be way harder to do so on foot, here in the brush.

The Used Dog was Free to a Good Home. The guy even threw in a chain, but I have not used that since moving away from the highway.

We always took ours to either Galt or Cottonwood. I don't follow it much anymore but everybody I've talked to said prices are up. For now. A good year to try and make up for a string of poor ones?

I've been to the Galt auction several times.

We always had good luck at Galt. But we took only our very best stuff down there. The buyers were mostly repping for feed lots and the prices were usually a little better than Cottonwood

The junk, the slaughter cows, the crips, the chronics, and such, we'd take to Orland or Roseville. The buyers there were usually hooked up to plants that sold to the school lunch programs and various fast food outlets. The prices were such that we didn't even hang around to watch them sell...we'd wait 'til the check came in to get depressed. They'd take anything that could make it through the sale ring under it's own power. Kinda makes you wonder, doesn't it?

By the way, Roseville is closed now...and probably won't open again.
