Flathead River, near Paradise, MT. Clark Fork River, near St. Regis, MT. Spring/fall pictures of the Mission Mountains near Charlo, MT.

I cant remember if there has ever been a thread for pictures of cattle but I think there ought to be. I dont have many on my phone but I'll throw up what I do have. First one is my prize red heifer out of one of my favorite cows. Getting some of the replacement heifers cake broke and gentled. First calf of the year last fall. Gathering to wean last spring. I'll try to remember to get some more pictures when working cows but its usually one of the last things in my mind.

Sure, just string a fence across the road when the good looking ones are coming!

I thought about covering the road with a bale of hay. When I tried last night I was picking grass and putting it in the road. I tried to let her get used to it but instead of a car coming a young lady on a nervous horse showed up. I’ll try again this weekend or put a hamburger cow in with her.

I unroll a bale of hay on our wood bridge. Lead them with cake pickup. Then take it off after.

What a land of extremes. Broke some record high temps here yesterday and in the 80s again today. Yet possible snow coming Friday. Wild and windy all day and it turned to a real thunderstorm in later afternoon. Only a light shower here but looked more to the South. It was enough to shut me down early as the straw got tough and would not spread well. Wheats all seeded and one field of canola. Still got a ways to go.

That's a new one, I was expecting black top. Have had number of times they don't want to step out on the blacktop. I have to cross the blacktop 2 to 4 times a year. Have seen cows that never gave any trouble just not want to do it. Put her in a trailer and haul her, but then you need to get her back.

She looks like she is accustomed to special treatment. Maybe try red carpet ? All jokes aside they look real good

that little thing looks like a big joke

https://farmpartsstore.com/joystick-5020331/ Take the wires from that switch and wire it into a real joystick? Idk why it wouldn’t work? You would have to build a mount but IF you could do this you’ll save a pile of money! I’m going to pm you my address and you can send some of that money my way!

Mike - the top one is a AB160 owned by L G Price over in Blenheim. I've stood by and admired this vehicle at Crankup Edendale several times. It's a good tidy example of that era

...found a good picture of an AB and an AA ,,,taken at our annual vintage show AB is the top pic..... can't read the model ..possibly AB160 ?? Mike

........one of the now rare pictures I have of the venerable AB110...circa 1965 ish Mike

Hammer---- I always thought of a W-450 being the ideal tractor for Hammer, Jr. to grow up on. Please explain to th missus that you are only looking after Hammer, Jr.'s best interest. Time is passing by-------he will probably be shaving in a year or so-----and looking forward to planting his own cotton crop!!!! ?? DD

Planted my big corn field this afternoon....

..picture of an Australian built C1500..one of about 20 odd brought into New Zealand..Brought it to add to my'' IH restoration workload'' Mike

Thanks gives me confidence on the old 392. I would prefer a four barrel , however , we are trying to keep this on propane as original so it looks like May end up with two barrel . tony

BTW this a 392 engine but we are planning on leaving it on LP as truck has been it’s entire life , the original engine we replaced with this 392 was a 304 . tony

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

.....few more pictures.......Mack bringing out native logs from the North West Coast of the South Island of NZ.... Case 850 loading rock , for river protection.......an overweight shift of a D5 on the AACO 1950.........The old BTD6 loader , on the C1800, heading for the trade in shop........traded it on a Z125 track loader........picking up the dreaded hay (cartage)...with two of my visiting American friends .......(they came out for hunting...they reminded me.....not picking up hay ..)........and an IH 1910 on gravel duties for Forestry Mike

Our first calf born on our place last October. It was a long time coming starting from scratch but things are coming together. Neighbors cows that I take care of as well as my heifers enjoying last weeks polar vortex. Last calf out of my heifers. Momma wasn't to keen on nursing but she came around now she is a great mother. Heifers with our little girl shortly after we bought them. 700 bred cows we trailed 15 miles to calving pasture when I worked on a Ranch in Nebraska. That's me on the palomino.
