Hmmmm,

Guess this routine makes it kinda official; summers over fer sure.

Took half a day but got 'em all fed and bed. Me thinks the old cows were leg sore from standing in the storm all night 'cause they dropped like a bunch of prairie rocks. :>)

During the process, the darned bull ran me up the fence twice. I gotta get him out of there! :>(

[Allan in NE]

They be mine.

Well, actually they own me. :>(

They sure don't look abused. BTW; there are too many friendly bulls in the world to put up with a bad one. I do know people that have been killed by a bull, so be care full.

 

[Mitch Furness]

Allan I can see why you want to forget abouts cows and go south now. Get rid of that bull too!

What temp is it there, in Centigrade please?

[Dave from MN]

not to pry, but do you send the calves to the sales barn when they are weaned, or feed out?

Looks to me like some awful long legged cows in there. You don't have that herd infested with a few hayburners do ya?

 

[Pitalplace]

OK he can chase me once but the second time he's out-a-here.
I think I am ready for spring!

 

[Steven f/AZ]

I see hay burners as well... a four-wheeler gets you there at least twice as quickly and only eats when you're using it.

Nice to see you got that old gasser to agree with you!

 

[LenND]

Sure looks like a cushy job to me, inside that cab looking out. LOL

They elected the bull the human resources spokesman. Translation, "How come you get a nice warm place and we've got to stand out here and freeze our gonads off"! Dave

 

[Jerry/MT]

Wish I had your view from inside the cab. I"m feedin" with a Ford 4610 with a canopy. When the wind blows, I have to climb into my insulated coveralls and bite on a stick to keep my teeth from chatterin"!

Your cattle look well fed, Alan. That"s cheap insurance.

 

[Doug in Illinois]

Hey, Allen, is that the same gas burning loader tractor you are feeding with that was giving you fits earlier? Just wondered if you got rid of the miss. Was is the carb? DOUG

That is because you do not have other income to support your farm like allan has.

Allan;
Feller from back home,(NE) had a bull charge his pickup and busted out the grill. Smashed in the hood and then tried to climbe in the back
of the truck. Pickup is pretty well banged up.
And ya,be careful out there.

Your girls look good. They don't look too hungry. I had a bull put me on a fence one time. Best blood lines in the world ain't worth put'n up with a bad bull.

Allan must get his money from somewhere for all his projects. LoL. Yea, I guess it's more important to feed your babies than fix a radiator with a tiny leak.

 

[Allan in NE]

Yes Sir, that's the one.

Came within a hair's breath of giving that tractor away just to get it out of my sight. I was completely at my wit's end.

Rusty Farmall told me to check the load jet and at about the same time, I get a call from my "IH guru" telling me the same darn thing.

Ran out there like a chicken with it's head cut off and checked the thing. Sure enough, that was the problem. Totally wobbled out.

So anyway, at the end of the day, I put a new carburetor on it and another set of plugs and it hasn't even offered to blink since.

Really, really runs nice now.

Good to hear you got the tractor running right. Looks as cold there as it is here. Yeah. feeding cows does tie you to the place, but I would sure miss not having cows to feed.
