i remember on the way up there when i turned north thru north battleford, poured rain that whole stretch, that i was eventually going to run into mountains... just from all the trees. never did. when those two brothers were beebopping us around on their place we came into this 40 acre clearing or maybe it was 80 or more... one of those two brothers said his old man cleared it with an axe by hand. i kinda chuckled thinking he was kidding. it must have taken forever. the two brothers and another local were touring us that place. we got out with a bigger group of cows in grass like i've never seen before say an hour before the sun was going to set. it was nuts... as the sun began to set the cows just congregated in an attempt to protect themselves from the bugs. we weren't that far from the pickup but i couldn't make it back fast enough... i'm sure they chuckled a little, but i thought they would eat me alive. crazy how different the county can be from here to there. one of the funnest and most memorable trips i've ever had. the did have some nice red angus cows for sure.
You didn't like the Herefords? :lol:
If you ever think you want to back up there you should come here first and get acclimated to the bugs.
I do remember how they bothered me 30 years ago but I don't notice them much anymore. It does make us chuckle when we are somewhere else and someone comments about how bad the bugs are when 3 or 4 show up.
oh i didn't mean to imply that i didn't like there herefords...
i think i was breathing in more bug than air! i hope to get back up to one of his neighbors maybe this spring to looksie
