I should have taken a picture of the three Milwaukee tools I had out there yesterday. 3/8 mid-torque makes removing the small fasteners easy and I used my 1/2 impact for final removal and starting of the shaft nut.Where are the Milwaukee guys and their “even my 1/4” impact would tighten that right up”
What is that green stuff everywhere? Not finding much of it around here right now.
Weeds. We're buried in em.
Lots of them in the yard and ditch right now. Feeding hay a little now.
Got that way around here last year
My pictures are also doing the thing. But wish me luck
That's awful Tony. We had a pretty serious drought last summer, but this year it's made up for that.
This is the second year like this. Lots of rain in the spring to where it was hard to plan haying times, but now only one measurable rainfall for August. Supposed to be raining today but not even enough to settle the dust. Radar showing it all south of us right now.
These dry weather patterns are making calf prices skyrocket. That my friend is the ONLY silver lining here.
Thank you, any thoughts and prayers count. But again that is part of farming, taking the good with the bad. Go 30 miles north or so and the soybeans look to be twice as high as the local ones. Seeing a lot of corn in the area grown for silage in the last couple years, not as many insurance rows where they silage cut failed crops. Dad talked to one of his old co-workers last week and he had sold some 250 weight calves for over $5-lb. I'm keeping about 8-10 heifers back per year for next few years to bring in some younger stuff in the herd. Hopefully retirement will happen 2029 so I can not be beholden to the weekends for hay and cattle work.
When we take a beefer to the slaughterhouse, always ask for it to all be cut into ribeye.....
That’s why I quit selling beef. I take all my feeders to the live sale.
Sort of like wanting all bacon from a hog lol.
One of my neighbors built a horse barn with metal siding all the way to the ground. I had mentioned to him that if the horses realized that they could get attention by kicking the walls, they would end up kicking the metal off. Of course he didn't listen. The walls now look like a well used demolition derby car.
