Always good to love your job😁 ![[Linked Image]](http://keysborougheggfarm.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/beef_cuts_diagram.jpg) WTF.... no barbacoa??? What, are you just gonna throw away the head? That is both racist and wasteful and I am offended on both counts.

Jim; Good evening to you sir, I hope all is well with you and yours. I wanted to say thanks for posting the videos and photos - like Sam's often do, it brings back a lot of fond memories for me of my formative years in Saskatchewan. That is one mellow beef which the young lady is perched upon too Jim - trophy photo that.  Thanks again and all the best to you and your fine family this Christmas Season. Dwayne

Thanks very much Dwayne.
My daughter bucket fed that calf from day one, it was a twin calf that the cow would not take. She named him Ethan.
Rides him all over creation.

Always wanted to do that, never had the nerve to try. I thought it would be hilarious to ride into town on a cow.

An old family story was, there was a milk cow's calf I rode as a tike. One time my older brother was on top a walkin hog feeder, and thought he'd slide off the roof onto the steer's back. Wrong steer, predictable result.

Jim, not sure if I ever asked you. Anyone up in your area do fall calves? This is my first full fall up here (extreme NE CA) and I've been noticing some of the ranches have some little critters running around now. Seems like I saw some brand new ones about a month ago. I don't know a damn thing about raising beef, I just have a fondness for fall calves as they are "cuter" than the spring ones.  I figure the cute ones will taste better on the plate. I did inquire where I used to live in E WA about the falls, one person told me it was to be able to sell market weight beef earlier if the market was high. Winters up there are not nice, but usually not brutal either. Perhaps fall calving won't work in your area? Anywhooo, I hope the rest of your fall goes well before the snow flies for good. Geno Too much winter. Takes a lot of energy to feed a milking cow and deal with cold stress and keep her milking to raise a calf. Purebred guys will have some fall calvers, but they can better afford to feed milking cows through the winter. In some areas where a guy can raise a lot of feed and has good protection, you might find a commercial guy fall calving.

Messed up the D8. ![[Linked Image]](https://i.imgur.com/0121qa8.jpg) Old Cat mechanic says to put it back together and weld the everlovingpiss out of it. Damn. As a guy that has fair, at best, mechanicking ability, that would spook the crap out of me. Thinking about trying to fix that???? What is that going to? The blade?

Great pics and videos guys. Keep them coming. Fun to see how other parts of the US works.

I was in Malta, Mt. when he posted a great vid on starting his generator in the dark during an early season snowstorm so he could make coffee and flush the schidter.
JC is the funniest guy and has a great family. Keep posting please.

Jim, Sam, and wabigoon;
Thank you for what you do and for sharing your life with us. Jim, I think you found a real treasure when you met your wife! Not seeing pics of Sam and wabigoon's wives, I can only imagine they are right in the thick of things, too.
I have thoroughly enjoyed this thread and am a subscriber to Jim's YouTube videos.
Merry Christmas, guys!

Probably with that wet concrete curing in the photo... Just guessing,
