You're gonna look funny astride anything shorter than a show-type Clydesdale! Congratulations to both of you. Best wedding that I was ever at (other than my own), was for the neighbors hired girl. Daughter #1 played the wedding outside , in a cornfield with BBQ in a big tent with dance afterwards.
I doubt that Soapweed will need that puller all that much for the Maine X calves. I ran a fullblood Maine Anjou bull ( the red and white kind) with 35 Angus cows for 6 years and I pulled 1 calf in that time. I also run some black Simmental bulls and don't seem to pull many calves out of them...

Most of the old families in this township originated from the Isle of Islay around 1830.. Mom and Dad tell me that it is no trouble to see Ireland from there. Dad also says that after being there, and seeing all the rocks and thin soil, it is no surprise that nobody ever moved back.
