Photos - Cows, etc.

[Triangle Bar]

Some photos from a few weeks ago, get the cows on their feet and ready to switch pastures.

Up and movin

This is where they ended up, the North pasture.

Photos from today...cows have been in the North pasture for 3 weeks now. Grass is still in good shape.

Here is a water tank in the north pasture

Here's a close up of the automatic fill & the bird ladder.

Happy Trails

what do you use to cut the sidewall out of the big tire used for the water tank?

This tire was already cut out when I got hold of it, so I've never done one myself. The process I saw on RFD TV, used a heavy looking knife blade that was heated by an electrical current. The machine used could cut the sidewall out in short order.

If ya have a cordless sawzall and about 8 or 10 blades you can get it done. Turn the garden hose on a little and use it to cool the blade as ya cut. DONT USE A SAWZALL WITH 120 VOLTS PLUGGED INTO A CORD! It eats up blades but not nearly as fast as without the water.
