Popular Post shaggy1969 Posted May 18, 2013 Author Popular Post Share Posted May 18, 2013 A fine set of ears. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slapout Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 The large ears are a automatic lower price (could go as high as 4 cents a pound) at the auction barn if a calf is headed for the feed lot., due to less gain per amount of feed consumed. Thats why a breeder bull who could knock the ears and horns off was so prized by the cow/calf operators. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shaggy1969 Posted May 18, 2013 Author Share Posted May 18, 2013 @ Tywais Welcome and thank you for sharing your photo. Nothing modest about that shot,a great first post Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samuijimmy Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 Now .... we should get Oilinki and a few others involved from the southern regions..... I looked at the Phuket Photos last night, I am sure these guys there could find a farm or two~ in their area !! It seems to me a bit over weighted with you guys in the north! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 Even if Phuket is pretty much touristic place, we still have some farming here. These are often off the beaten track. Working water buffalo @Paklok, Phuket Cow's food court, Thalang Phuket Water buffalos crossing the road, Thalang, Phuket. This is the location where 'Good Morning Vietnam' movie was filmed. Few more water buffaloes, Bangkok near Moo ban Nakkila Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dancealot Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 Come to think of it we didn't hear from Ron19 for awhile here, he is busy harvesting and growing new rice as we speak. I'll ask him, I am curious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 Thanks for the invitation here! @dancelot Hi! I like these kind of topics as these act as catalyst to get the lazy behind up and get out to take some photos. More will come, hopefully. I'm not sure if the other movie has been shoot here. IMDB did not mention Thalang. I might have checked wrong movie though @samuijimmy: The cyclone which is or was at Bangladesh and Burma turned the rain from fon tok to nam tok. Cat's and Dogs are just not enough to describe the rain. @tywais: I wouldn't mind at all if a pretty bird would pick my nose. Which reminds me that I have to go out the home more and take some photos. Maybe on the way have a stop somewhere where to get shelter from the rain and have some beers.. my nose is already itching!

Ron19 Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 Come to think of it we didn't hear from Ron19 for awhile here, he is busy harvesting and growing new rice as we speak. I'll ask him, I am curious. No .it's nothing like that in fact it could not be further from what's been happening.It's a long story and I could go into a great amount of detail but instead will give you a much shorter version.To start my son in-law has been working the farm for us and hiring himself and the tractor out then got into drugs (ya bah) and then letting the farm go,not putting money aside for fuel,booking fuel up which ment he must of been using the money for drugs.So the finish of all this is that we have leased the farm out for two years and sold the tractor.Very sad after spending 3 million baht setting him up with a house ,machinery and extra land giving him a chance to make something of himself and then to have this happen.By the way,he is not a kid ,he is 45.

I'll ask him, I am curious. Sad, Ron. It is ok to share sad stories as well with us. There are good people here and listening is important. Perhaps some good will come out of you sharing this. I have seen it all when Ron showed me around his neighbourhood last month. I will never forget that morning walk with your 2 sweet dogs, Ron. That was very special. Hang in there Ron!
