Paul: We brand and tag with orange tags, she just lost hers and hasn't got a replacement yet. As for losing them, we have few problems with rustlers, but it does happen. Texas and Southwestern is on our side though, they have 3 agents with Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation...Its hard to get away. There were some cattle stolen in our county recently, but our deputys have cracked down tight, farmers often get pulled over coming out of their own fields, the cops are just checking to make sure we had a good reason to be in there. Its been cold up here, too cold to mess with them right now, with temps in the teens some days all we really do is feed them, and give them a shot if they're sick. <br /> <br />***: HD workers are usually a lot better than the ones at Lowe's, one cold snowy evening we were getting a big load of lumber, and they didn't really want to help us load outside, and we didn't really want to load outside either, so we just backed the pickup and 18 foot trailer right up the aisle in the store. We got our stuff, and never had to get out in the cold. Let's see another store do that for you. <br /> <br />As for hardware stores, the one in Calumet is probably the nicest one to go to. The owner knows all of his customers, and he has charge accounts, so all you have to do is go in, tell him what it is you need, he (or usually his wife) helps you find it, and you leave. Never even have to go to the cash register, he just writes it down for you. The name of the store is Ron's Auto, but the locals usually call it Carolyn's. <br /> <br />See y'all later, <br />Greg <br /> <br />
