Lazy WP Posted August 29 Share Posted August 29 It appears that it has begun! I saw more cattle trucks as I was going to Billings today, then I have for the last month. For those of you who don’t know what Fall Run is, it’s the time of year when the livestock haulers see how many hours they can stay awake, and still be safe. A time when the DOT leaves most of the rest of the trucks alone. And finally, the most expensive fuel of the year. Today the DOT officers in Sheridan were practicing. Every truck got pulled in so they could look at the paperwork. I know we have a few livestock haulers on here. Stay safe guys and post lots of pictures. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Bud guy Posted August 29 Share Posted August 29 We moved calving to June so our “fall run” is late winter run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dads706 Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 June calving = smartest thing anybody can do. We would still wean the calves first part of November, and send the cows to graze fresh corn stalks. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looked like it was just getting going. It’s funny that I could see the smoke from a long distance away, but others couldn’t see it from fairly close. It’s like spotting deer. If you aren’t trained to look, you can’t see. Stay safe Jeff 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stay safe Jeff Responding to a fire on the reserve once, I could not see the smoke where guys responding from town could. It was all in how the hills were laid out and wind keeping the smoke low Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He couldn’t see the column. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
