My Sister Is About To Juice And Freeze Prickly Pears. Its A Process We Burn The Thorns Off W/ A Grass

Javelinas at my old feeder. Hunting is awesome but many ranches round abouts have killed off their javelinas because they eat under the deer feeders and scare the deer. People are surprised that I have any around. So for me its 'how to keep the pesky deer from eating my javelina food!' Javelinas tend to have 2 "reds" or a set of twins. See one in the pic.

A scorpion with little ones on its back! South Texas is scorpion paradise! Yard work, Loading square bales ‘hay’, Pulling green corn all could be hazardous! However I prefer 'zapps’ from scorpions over wasps or honey bees as they dont hurt as much. According to my grandfather when dried corn was hand harvested 'pulled’ and tossed into a mule drawn wagon the harvester could expected many scorpion stings on his/her hands. Asking about gloves he replied gloves made it difficult to grip the corn so were not used.

‘Texas alfalfa’ aka Red root pig weed! The bane of farmers! The love of ranchers! Colloquial name? Careless weed! It could care less where it grows! This is growing in a neighbor’s wheat field. They don’t last long on the ranch!
