Hauled some dry heifers and a bull to the sale, was sitting a seat away from a few old gentlemen. Tenny and I was talking about some of the cattle that came in some pairs one cow had a long hair calf with frozen ears and tail we talked about how it was probably born on cold morning.. Some triangle body cows came in you could see every rib, my comment was gee I ran out of hay this spring and my cows never looked that bad…. The guy next to me said those cows had feed it the type they are.
He asked me if I had anything in the sale, I said some heifers that lost their calves after we branded and a bull that came off the forest and would stay there when we took him back as he like the neighbors heifers next to me. Then I added my ranch is for sale and I might as well sell him now.
Our cattle had sold before this guy had sit down and we got after awhile to go see if the check was ready. It wasn’t and Tenny went out to the truck to nap and I went back up into the sale. The men were talking about hay and I asked how it was last year and how it was looking this year. Then the guy was talking about baling and he had got 3 bales out and BOOM. I asked what kind of baler he used he said small bale. To which I said you could not run fast enough to give me one. To which he stood up and said I should not have said that he took off his hat and said look at my hair and my poor back and I do what I have to do….
My thoughts were gee he got more hair and darker color then I do….
He did asked what I used and I said I traded my stackliner years ago for a round baler to whom he said you step in it….sale was over and I just smiled
