We do cattle, not pigs, but we have had truckers deliver in the middle of the night and they handled unloading without an employee being there. We have only done that when the trucker said “no need to come in if you tell me which pen” but it doesn’t seem that crazy to me.

I think there’s a little more leeway for arrival times than you might expect. I could be wrong, but I know when we have cattle coming in, we don’t have an exact time until they’re about half an hour out. We actually were “supposed to” get a load of cattle this week that never showed. Different...

I live somewhat near a road just like you describe - the southern portion is paved while the north turns to gravel. It’s a through road, so actually “heavily” trafficked for gravel, but most people wouldn’t question passing a parked semi on their way to work. Farm semi use is much different than...

I tend to agree! I definitely don’t think it happened during the unload. The value of the pigs would be too high for them to leave them loaded and send the truck away IMO.

Definitely not that wet in this part of Iowa.

P We don’t own hogs, but we do feed cattle, so maybe I can clear a few of these questions up. My husband primarily feeds for the same people year round. When it’s time for cattle to be delivered, they arrive at any time of the day or night, depending on where they come from and when the pen...

I believe that Snapchat has a feature where you can look at a map and see where your friends are on the map. Maybe since he was bored he was looking at that, noticed she was close by, and called to get him out of the house?

With her age, I really have been scratching my head as to how she got lost. Had they recently moved in so she wasn’t familiar with the area? Did she fall/injure herself to be unable to answer? Even with all the fields surrounding our home, I’m almost certain my children would be able to find...

We live in a rural area and have a livestock guard dog. He’s a giant and intimidating to look at it, but has never once barked to alert us to visitors or strangers.

I was just coming to see if a thread had been started yet. This is near local to me and my daughter is nearly the same age. My heart is hurting for her and her family. After looking the area over on the map, it looks like maybe she lives in a townhome/duplex on the edge of town. Whether the...

Yes I realize that this happened. But would you like to make claims about all Catholics? LDS after Lori Vallow/Chad Daybell’s situation? We can throw any religious group under the bus based on the bad apples that may happen to be part of their organization. Unless their pastors are encouraging...

I’m not sure what your concerns with IHOP may be, but I have many family members who go to school there, work there, or simply attend Forerunner church and I can assure you that as a whole there is no way for their organization to be tied to a missing person. Of course there are...

Mother’s Day isn’t a big deal at our house. We do spend the day as a family, but if my husband had a job he had to set up or travel for, it wouldn’t ruin the day - just part of his line of work. But did the girls call him to say they were late? Did SM call him to say they were late? It does seem...

I had a random thought this afternoon. If I went missing and my kids couldn’t get ahold of me, naturally they’d contact their dad. What would he do? Try to get ahold of me. Does BM ever mention if he himself tried to call SM on Sunday? I know he could have tried and just not included that tidbit...

Wanted to share a few thoughts based on my experience. So this week we poured a concrete patio in our yard. When doing a concrete pour (even at a job site) the mix truck is called in from whoever your supplier is. Once it arrives, the truck dumps the concrete while the workers spread, move, and...
