Getting ready to load bulls

A rather primitive set-up

But it has an adjustable alley. :wink:

Looking the other direction

Fixing a barricade between the pickup and trailer

Getting an extra cow out of the way.

We need to load four bulls.

And keep several cows and calves out. The Kosmo Kid admonished his old man that the whole project might be more effective
if the camera was put away. :wink:

Got 'em.

They are in.

Pretty darn good cowpoke

His brother Sparky, a pretty darn good welder

Rocket, a pretty darn good dog

Rocket with no fuel

Fixing up the box of a truck

Enjoying his occupation

Skinny Mini and her calf

Have grandkids; will display.

I'm jealous of you having those grandkids so close by.

Ours was here for a month be is now back home 600 miles away.

Sparky hasn't had a real great summer. He was sick as a dog for about three weeks, and didn't even open his shop during that time.
Two weeks ago tomorrow, he had a temperature of 105 degrees. He went to the doctor, and they at first thought he had West Nile.
When the tests came back, it was determined that he had Mono. He seems to be on the mend now, and back to being his old hard-working
cheerful self.

good that Sparky found out what ails him. Men!! They'll feel
terrible for weeks before they give in and go to the doctor.
It'd be much easier on everyone if they weren't so stubborn
about going.
