Assorted pictures

[Cedarcreek]

I've been trying get the picture posting figured out. Here's some taken over the last month or so.

Interesting clouds I saw this evening

Mule deer escaping

Mrs Cedarcreek & the girls helping move the 2 year old heifers.

My view

Scattered cows

Haying, view out the front.

view out the back through a dirty window

Did some of these too

Got some dust in the lens of my little camera so it might put a damper on my picture taking until I can send it in and get it cleaned.

Good pics. Keep posting until you won't forget how. Doing it once then not is like starting all over again. :?

Nice pictures, Cedarcreek. Looks like moving cattle was a family project. That is always a good "bonding" experience. :wink:

Very nice photos...your pasture & hay looks like you did pretty good on moisture this year. I switched from small squares to large square bales about 10 years ago but sometimes I miss having some small bales around the corral & in the barn. I see you've got a mix rounds and small squares. I don't miss loading them out on semi's though. :wink:

It was a decent hay crop about 60% of normal, the pastures look better than the hay fields. We do mostly rounds. The squares are for the horses and in the calving barn. They are handy to have around but a pain to put up since it seems haying slows to a crawl when we square bale.

Here's picking up the last of them

Bought this at an auction sale several years ago in May. It's been jokingly referred to as a Mothers day gift since Mrs Cedarcreek doesn't have to help pick them up now.

Now that I've got the equipment I've been doing some custom little squares for an Angus breeder neighbor. Kind of spreads the cost of the equipment over a few more bales.

You bet, a bale wagon is a necessity with the little bales. I had a NH 1037 3 wide bale wagon and with the 16"x18" bales, I think I could only haul 84 at a time. With the big bales, it's easy to stack 200 to 250 ton bales in an afternoon....it's a real time saver.

The one I have is a 1037. I make 14 X 18 bales so I can get 104 on. Usually I just go 2 wide on the top layer to kind of cap the stack, that gets me 99 bales and doesn't leave quite as much flat area for water to set on the tarp.
