Made the old 24v work today...hauled more hay for a local camp, yes it's heavy but your allowed 20% over leaving the field in Montana...

Nice pics Mike! Looks very similar to Montana. We have deer here also, in addition to the elk. Saw a mule deer doe the other day with triplets. Uggghh!! Just more mouths to eat my hay down to the ground. Had five deer in my alfalfa field before dark last night. The deer eat some but the elk, since they are nearly the size of cows, take a noticeable share.

Ok I'll have to charge the youngest. She tamed "Red" at a young age. When she was in the heifer barn she had not been lead in six months or so and Ellie stood at the headlocks and called Red. She stood up and walked over to the headlocks

.......like the Red deer , Gary........I use " black oats " for supplementary winter green feed...(we get several grazings off black oats ...).......and the red deer (pictured, on old pasture..)...just love them !!...Yes, indeed they would also qualify as "notorious culprits " .....To keep this post "clean " the picture taken over the old 91 series, is of oats.....the size of cannot be seen, of course........there were ten Deer there recently...on dusk......Does with their almost yearling fawns.....great to see..but they certainly chomp through a lot of tucker....destined for the cattle......

Mixed set of twins ( heifer is not fertile 90% of the time) . Kids want to raise them

Earlier I said we try to be done by the middle of August and even though we had a 1-1/2 days with problems with the machine, today we managed to finish harvesting cotton. Think I'll tip up a couple.

BFE near the Kansas/OK border. Prowers county. Flatlands. Everyone thinks its ugly down here. I just find little creeks and stuff to entertain me lol.

..a little story about a bull,,,,,not as good as "yellowrose farm" or the other two amusing stories ...... If you go to the Trucking Forum......there is a bunch of pictures under the thread title..."Troll for the site"......among the truck pictures I posted is a R model Mack......pulling a load of logs , across the Anatori River , in North west Nelson ........The lead time for a return trip was about five hours.....so...on the R models maiden voyage from Nelson ......as it was heading down a big wide valley, through a reasonably intensive dairying area..... a large bull...of dubious genetic origin........some 100 yds or so from the tar top road.........took an instant dislike to the truck, and thundered towards it .....finally straight through the eight wire road fence and hit the Mack 's front left mudguard a serious blow......The driver had seen this bull coming ..sort of towards him at a angle......never slowed down.....for obvious reasons...and was shocked when the bull , via the road fence hammered into the truck.......Driver stopped down the road a little.....bull was not feeling to good, so driver went to the farm and the old cockie was a bit shocked also.....the bull survived......and the truck arrived back in Nelson......with the driver having to explain this almost unbelievable yarn about the bull damaging mudguard and passenger door etc on brand new truck..... At that stage I was part owner of that particular Mack....so....believe me....true story Couple of pics of feeding a small mob of mixed age cattle.......Black oats, doing a bout 2.6 tons of dry matter per hectare.......plus baleage on daily basis......Bit of a pain shifting electric fences every day.......but good for my new Indiana made knee joint.......(Yes sandhiller..have you got any of your knees replaced yet...??????!!!!!! ) Pig picture taken out of the 5130 cab window.......I am no longer allowed to shoot the pigs.......(this is a lease block....).....the almighty dollar has won that round.....one bloke paying to hunt them......note the reddish colour...no NZ wild pigs were ever that colour......the old trick of liberating young domestic , female pigs......keeps the hunters in work.....sigh Mike ..plus a couple for Ray 54......friends farm about 30 k from us......Autumn pasture

We think we have the tick cured , went with two thousands over sleeve pushed them in at above max stated pressure . Honed selves out to accommodate Pistons comfortably . Ran her six hours seems to be running perfect , but we develop a leak from tranny input seals so we had to split it again and replaced input shafts bearings and seal engine rear seal was replaced with clutch so all should be good and I'll have my girl done so I can to do a few fun Tonyisms to her . tony

This is surprising for Alaska Sure can’t hurt for FFA and this sums up this week at work sigh.

OMG! Your dog is the twin to my Ruby who passed 2 yrs ago! This picture gave me the shivers! An exact twin! Ruby was Collie/Border Collie.

Since the forecast says we may see mid 90's this coming week I thought I would throw up a pic of "cooler" times. ??
