[Soapweed]

Peach, my red-neck son, and the Kosmo Kid

He is always loaded for bear

The horns are on the outside of the vehicle

Our new-to-us used little outfit to save gas

Sundown a ways away from town

Little deer by the lake

Bigger deer by the lake

Red sky at night is a cowboy's delight

Come on baby, light my wire

When the turkeys come home to roost

Turkeys on top

Getting nervous

Turkey and the moon

Meanwhile, the Kosmo Kid is wondering why he suggested I take a picture. :roll: :wink:

 

[Buyer]

Boy have I got a deal for your son. How about a 1974 IH pickup with a new clutch,home made flat bed. Needs some carburetor work.

 

[Nicky]

Nice pictures, is the Kosmo Kid out of school for the summer?

 

[Triangle Bar]

Hey Soapweed, you'll have to ask your Redneck Son, first picture, if those Buds make him Wiser. :lol:

I've got a skull similar to that one hanging on the wall, not as a hood ornament. I've always been curious how the numbers are placed on the horns? Is it done with a hot iron or how? Never seen it done.

I will pass on this valuable information to him. :wink:

Yes, he is. He has been hard at work fixing fence. We are enjoying his company, and he likes the change from school.

I doube if the redneck kid gets too much wiser, but the stuff might temporarily give him that impression. :wink:

As to the horn branding, before ear tags were used much, we horn branded all of Dad's registered Hereford cows. The numbers were quite readable for a few years, but the older the cow got, the harder it was to know for sure what the numbers were. We always built a wood fire out of stub fence posts, and the number brands had rather short handles. The system worked fairly well.
