Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Winter Time Chores

I sort of hate to see good cattle go myself. A lot of sweat, and tears in the noble bovines.

Yeah Richard, that last load was full of good ol' cows.

Do the cows go as bred cows, or other?

Richard, no they are all open.

Some were out with bulls and tested open and the rest were old grannies we kept in a little pasture close to home where they raised their last calf without a bull.

3-4 cows in that bunch that were characters. Big old girls all fattened up. Curious to see what they weigh.

Sam, any idea what the calves brought? Live to fight another day/

Richard, sale day is tomorrow.

We shall see!

Oh, I thought the sale was a couple days ago.

You need to lay off the sauce man...

Schit, its pretty dry here Sam.


Liquor store is always closed when I go to town.

For some reason I only want to buy booze on Sundays and Mondays.

Jim, we're nervous as well.



Buy your booze mid-week!


I just try and stock up a little per stop. And it is a kind of a pain in the ass going into the liquor store. Worst time is 1st of the month, that or when 'checks' come out. Never any trouble if you know them.
Luckily our local drunks are a mellow bunch. Tourists are freaked out though.....grin



Gonna try and cut down on the liquor myself and get back on a straight beer diet.

I seem to drink more when its dry.......



I stay out of the Town Pump when its getting close to when the checks come out.


They say if you really want an interesting evening, go to the bar/cafe in Zortman on the first.

That or the High Way or the Cowboy bars in Dodson....when they were open anyway.

I drink more when the days are shorter.

Easy to get bored when it's dark outside.

Sam, was this your truck?

Haha, no Don that one wasn't up here!


One of the truckers did have engine trouble though and didn't make it all the way to Glasgow. He had to pull into a guys yard and off loaded the steers onto a little straight deck. I guess they got the trailer emptied but it took two trip with the smaller trailer.

Local kid(older Kenworth..) who we are trying to support.... But I don't like the idea of a load of calves sitting dead in the water!



Anyway the other trucker we had hired made 3 trips instead of two. It all worked out.



I see the market is up the limit today....... Probably make another run up now that we've sold....grin


Can't complain, it was a pretty decent sale.

Time to start cutting back the crepe myrtles

I had to look that one up.

Going to sell some bulls tomorrow.

I was hanging traps just now and my hands froze to the traps.


So I came inside and broke open a bottle of Fire Water. Never had any before.

It's 100 proof Hot Damn!


Warm and toasty now.

Jim, AfterShock used to be good high proof schnapps.


I just go with the lightweight stuff now.

Liquor store was open today......I bought a bottle of that too!
