Oh I forgot Grasshunter, do you need my address so you can send the prize along :lol:

I have a friend whose farm has a wheelhouse which is why I figured what the pic was, his surname coincidentally is also Wheelhouse. BTW the pic that I posted above is one of my customers wheelhouses.

Is the roof of a wheelhouse? like the one below.

I like my Carhartts, best workwear IMO.

I'm taking this chance to wish you all on here a very Merry Christmas. I spend most of my time lurking in the background enjoying everyones postings and pics. As I once said before although I work in farming over here in England it's a million miles away from you guys, ya'll keep me connected...

As some of you may remember I live in England but my mind lives with you guys out on the ranches. I live my life vicariously through your postings here :oops: . I was recently reading "The Modern Cowboy" by John Erickson, in it he mentions of Livestock Weekly being the magazine most cowboys/...

Yeah that's what my boss said, however getting the guy to change is another matter :)

Thanks for the link, I printed it off. Somethings get lost in translation. George Bernard Shaw once said "England and America are two countries separated by a common language" he wasn't far wrong :lol: [/i]

OK I'm late coming in on this one. I can only add like the others have said, get her tested. I have a customer who has had problems with Johnnes disease, I am always having to go and collect sick cattle from him, he's a dairy farmer, he has now starting on a testing program and culling out the...

I have a customer that insists on destroying his own animals, he uses a 12 ga shotgun. However the number of times I've turned up to collect the carcass and there's still life in it, makes me wanna cry. If a job needs doing, then he owes it to the animal to do it right and avoid unnecessary...

May I just post my opinion on euthanasing cattle. I have to do this for a living (not in a slaughterhouse I might add) I travel from farm to farm destroying and collecting injured and sick cattle. Anyhow when it comes to shooting a beast I take an imaginary line from left poll to right eye and...

I would have jumped at the chance, problem is I'm not a US resident and secondly I can't persuade my wife to move across the big pond :( two small hurdles to cross. I have the livestock experience, I worked on farms over here for the last ten years. :) Best of luck in your search though.

I live in the country in England, OK it's a smaller country, I still have to put gas in the car to get to work. There is no public transport that will get me there. It's a half hour drive to my yard at work. It is an improvement I used to drive a 150 mile round trip for work. A bicycle is...

Just to add insult to injury, a there are 1.2 US gallons to 1 UK gallon, so you get more for your money :D . I know it's all relative though and what is expensive to you is dirt cheap to me, at current exchange rates your gas prices seem to average £1.50 per gallon. :cry2:

OK then here goes, gas prices here currently stand at £4.50/gallon, yes thats $9.00 per gallon. Diesel now stands at £4.86/gallon which equates to around $9.72 per gallon. Don't get me started with my hatred of the government for letting this happen. It's time we had a repeat of the fuel...

Some fine looking cattle there. A way of life I can only dream of. :cry:

Great pictures, the scenery is beautiful. It's one of the things that draws me to love the mountain states.

As of this moment 10:41pm, time to hit the sack soon :D

I see things like this with increasing regularity in my job. I collect carcasses from farm across northern England as part of a government disposal scheme for animals over 24 months and also from farmers in general for younger stock. I remove the hides which then goes for leather and then the...

Sorry for my delay in replying. I've been lurking for a little while now. I joined here as I have an interest in cattle and ranching and the American West in general. I have just finished reading a good book by David McCumber, The Cowboy Way, Seasons of a Montana Rancher, an insight into working...
