*A man that straddles the fence usually has a sore crotch.
*A scratchin' like he had a shirt full of fleas.
*About as busy as a hibernating bear.
*Light an' take comfort in a frog squat.
*He lets out a stud-horse whistle as would pull the picket pin of every filly 'round.
*He's as slow acting as wet gunpowder.
*She had cooties as big as a yearlins.
*He had callouses from pattin' his own back.
*Bragged himself out of a place to lean agin' the bar.
*He was as full of wind as a bull in corn time.
*Craw jammed plumb full of sand an' fightin' tallow.
*Busy as a chambermaid in a livery stable.
*Cussin' a range cook is as risky as brandin' a mule's tail.
*So cautious he would ride a mile to spit.
From my best friend's mouth this morning when we were having coffee, "waste not, want not".
And my favorite from my husband in regards to the weather office, "can't predict a 'not nice' between newlyweds".
Ma Haymaker always said "don't play with that sharp stick or you'll poke youe eye out', "don't make faces or it will freeze that way" and "always wear clean underwear in case your in a accident".
Little Haymaker didn't listen cause he ended up in the hospital with his eye poked out ,a frozen face and dirty underwear. He didn't listen to his Ma. :cowboy:
I have been busy. We gathered ,weaned and processed cows and calves. then todat the tub grinder showed up and we ground 550 bales. Quite the pile of feed. Hay, green oats and rye and kochia bales. The fellow has a Mighty Giant tub grinder made in Beemer Nebraska by Jones Mfg. It loads its self but I had to move all the bales up to the grinder as our sack yard has a deer proof fence so space it a bit limited. You should be proud of me i'm getting ready for winter. :cowboy:
That sounds good ,no telling what kinda winter we will have,where did you store all that feed? you must have some pretty big bins?............good luck
We just pile the feed on the ground. After it settles for a couple of days it won't blow hardly at all and snow doesn't seem to be much of a bother. Just load the mixer wagon with the front end loader . I used to mix with silage but couldn't grow anything to silage this year, so will have to feed all dry chopped feed.
