Zeke wanting someone to play ball.

Outdoor calveing.

Hay grinder showed up

Backing into position

Pulled in at 11:13 am and pulled out at 12:17 pm ground 90 bales.

80"x28' triple axel 2 center gates and a large side door.

13 year old cow with a Chisum bull calf at side.

 

[Soapweed]

Nice pictures. It sure didn't take long to grind the 90 bales of hay. I really like the looks of your triple axle stock trailer, which would haul a nice big load of cattle.

 

[gcreekrch]

Lookin' good Denny. What does it cost per bale to grind it?

The dog picture is priceless. These dogs think I'm going to do them bodily harm if I bring the camera out. :roll:

 

[Denny]

$440 an hour.Amount of bales ground vary by hay type but we run about 85 1100# bales in an hour we had some straw mixed in this time so he got a few more done.I blend a 1000#s of hay with 3500#s of silage two loads per day.

 

[Soapweed]

What would be the price of a nice triple axle trailer such as this?

 

[leanin' H]

Things sure look great. That trailer is fine! You do nice work sir! :tiphat:

 

[Haytrucker]

Yeah, what Soapweed said..? And what would be a conservitave lead-time?

 

[Faster horses]

That's a nice bag on your 13-year old cow and a nice long
trailer. You do really professional work!

I like your dog. What kind is it? I hope it's not a border collie cuz
then I'll feel silly for even asking.

 

[Denny]

$11,000 a month leadtime right now. I have one 20' to build and another 30' for the guy who got the 28' today.

Mostley border collie.

The cow is a VikingGD60 Grandaughter I'd take a couple hundred just like her (Only Younger)

That first pic brought a tear to my eye.

Sadie was one of the best dogs we ever had before we had to put her down cuz of age-related declining health. That collie/heeler cross made her indefatigable.

She always came with the tennis ball in her mouth - you couldn't wear her out playing toss 'n' fetch. When I was working in the shop she would stand there beside my work station and throw the ball down, pick it up, throw the ball down, pick it up - repeat as necessary - until I would finally pick it up and throw it out the door or up onto the mezz. Then she was happy!

And back for more . . .

our local hay grinder gets $200/hr. if it is good going he can do about a bale a minute, our bales weigh approx. 1300lbs. your grinder is keepin a much faster pace.

everything is lookin good Denny. i'd sure pull that triple axle.

There was just enough 'ear' on the dog that I wasn't sure it was full-blooded
border collie. 'Mostly' says it all.

Viking GDF60. You read my mind as I was wondering if that's what she was.
That picture is sure telling on why that bloodline is so sought-after for making
great cows. I'm just a big a fan of Viking GD60 as you are. Only you have
some an we don't.

 

[Denny]

Yeah I've got some sons of the old man himself and some squeezens in my semen tank for the next generation.
