PSA for all the equipment dealers.. if I call and only want to know the price.. do not get snippy with me when that’s all I wanted to know. You made the ad that said call for price. Should get about 30 people to call and waste a whole day till they start putting prices with ads…

Im not a cat person at all, but this tuff ol farm cat is pretty cool. Balls has spent his whole 13+ year life outside and is a stone cold mouse, rat, mole, and bird killer. You cant buy farm cats like him. Grandpa makes sure he gets all the treats and braunschweiger he can handle

Our 4th date she put on a pair of muck boots and walked in a pen full of cattle in knee deep mud in some places and helped me chase them out to load on the trucks. I knew that day I was gonna marry her. Anyways almost 3 years later I finally asked😅

Was it just my family that used the cups in milk replacer bags as drinking cups when the bag was empty? Or was this a thing with other cattle families?? FYI this cup is probably 15-18 years old. 😎

@gmengers2014 My brother used to run a crew that did the maintenance on those turbines all over the country. Pickups, semis, and cranes driving all over just trying to keep up with down turbines. Plus the 60 gallons of gear oil in the gear box up top. Short life spans. “Green energy“

My brother and I catch allot of hate for fertilizing all our grass, well when grass looks like this I think it’s pretty safe to say it pays. I just wish I had more acres of grass like this to put up 😅

Called the case dealership in town for a 1/2” drain plus on the tractor.. was told they can’t find it in their computer so they can’t look it up or even order it.. called Cambells and guess what he did differently. HE LOOKED.

4-23” of snow or rain and snow mix, is what the Facebook meteorologist have told me what’s coming, I’m not sure which one it’s gonna be but neither sound fun, either way I’d recommend you boys eat up and get ready to have your asses kicked this weekend 😬
