Since a new pulling pickup is $80,000 I wonder what would be wrong with this unit to pull the stock trailer for one fourth the price.

Just a couple hail stones at my house as a huge storm passed east of here. Our SE pasture was white, but a swath further east got hit hard. Lots of broken windows, etc. I've never heard a storm roar like that as it went by. Pic. is at neighbor's house.

I can blame whoever installed the IVF frozen embryo in this cow for putting it in upside down with its head back. It took 45 minutes of manipulating it to get it straightened out so we could pull it.

Can’t stop laughing. My wife’s liberal WA cousins are scheduled to fly to BZN and visit next week. I’m not allowed to talk politics when they’re here. Now it turns out Trump is scheduled to arrive in BZN the SAME afternoon. 😂😂

I’m not sure if I should call it a little truck or a big pickup, but for 1/4 the price of a new pulling pickup, it got all the cows moved home from their winter quarters.

I calved for many years in deep snow country with strong winds. My snow wall windbreak was mandatory. If you have snow, you have plenty of material to build windbreaks. 10' to 15' high and ¼ mile long can shelter a lot of animals.

Well, 30°, 30 mph wind, and the snow has just arrived. Away I go in my complete winter suit with ski goggles to take a bale of hay to the cows/calves to get them in the willows so I don’t have to worry about them all night.
