Shopping With Cops

Shopping With Cops

Fraternal Order of Police Lodge 31 sponsored the annual Cops N Kids Christmas shopping spree at Walmart earlier this month for several qualifying area children. Law enforcement officers from all over the Rockbridge area escorted children through the store, allowing them to choose their own presents with FOP-sponsored donations. Among the scenes were Chris Wheeler, the SSO at Enderly Heights, assisting Laine Day (above) and Terry Martin with the Buena Vista Sheriff’s Office helping Joshua Hinkle.

When Hay is Limited

When Hay is Limited

Last week, this column covered the lingering effects of drought and the reality that many Rockbridge farmers are short on hay. The points covered last week were: 1.) If a round bale cost $50 per bale but the livestock stomp-on and soil 30% of it, it means the hay actually cost $70 per bale; 2.) If a round bale costs around $70 it is likely purchased grain or grain-byproduct is a less expensive alternative to feeding hay alone; and 3.) Grazing livestock have a fiber requirement and that fiber requirement can be met if they are presented daily with an amount of fiber equivalent to a little less than 1% of bodyweight (12 pounds for a 1,200pound cow). 12/19/2023 11:00 PM

Those who have recently lost loved ones or are in the grip of depression or are just plain stressed out may view the holidays as anything but a happy occasion. 12/19/2023 11:00 PM
