Webster's Burger in Clements, a few miles down from Lockeford Meats, makes some of tastiest burgers. Everything is well price and the menu has a large variety of burgers.Don't forget the floats and shakes.


Across the street is Ricotti's Saddle Co., beautiful crafted leather goods for your horse. Next time the we will get into the different type of saddles.

What I look for in a horse. The first is conformation. The next thing I look for is pedigree. Third, does the horse have a good mind. Other things I look for is personality and good feet. Although stallions are dollar valued higher than mares, the mares have more influence than the sires.

Here is the Sire of "Princess Sails" (my mare quarter horse)

SIRE: Topsail Cody (NRHA Hall of Fame1996) Sired by Joe Cody (NHRA Hall of Fame 1989)

HALF BROTHER: Cee Blair Sailor NRHA Hall of Fame 1995 (Sired by Topsail Cody)

Conformation: Important to match the balance of your horse for the job you need him to perform. A well balance horse will out perform a poorly put together horse and will be less likely to get injured.

Pedigree: Knowing your horses pedigree gives you a better idea about your horses performance capability.

HALF BROTHER: Topsail Whiz NRHA Hall of Fame 2003

Mind: If your horse has a good mind he/she will be more trainable.

Yes that would be a 4 lbs free ranged chicken, at $6.00 per lbs, from a local farm here in Vacaville, CA. (I will post more about this later)

Why do we still use horses? Well have you ever tried doing a 3 point turn in a coral while a bull is charging straight for you? The horse can get  in to areas where an ATV can't, this holds true in tough terrain. How about roping cattle off an ATV?


Those are some of the obvious reasons. Cattle is more gentle around horses than ATVs. You can ride right up to the herd without spooking the cattle. You'll need to get right up to the herd to spot sick cattle and sort them out to be doctored.

Sometimes the cooking is done right and you wonder why you don't cook more often. These are country style chicken tenders made with free range chicken breast dipped in panko bread crumbs (Japanese). Panko bread is the same stuff they use at Japanese restaurants for tempura shrimp.

Lockeford Meats has some of the tastiest sausages. Today a friend and I drove to Lockeford, a little town between Lodi and Galt, for some sausage sticks. I found this place by accident looking for butcher services. The meat here is always fresh.
