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. Sam, do you guys ever use Murnian from Jordan?

Hardway, no, just local guys from the Wolf Point area. We've thought about buying our own truck and trailer but I'm busy enough and really don't want to drive a semi. We'd have to hire another guy but decent help is hard to find.

I actually looked at a used loader tractor down in Circle last November that belonged to one of the Murnion's.
It was well used.....passed......grin

Today was a real peach.
Calling for over a foot of snow starting Wednesday.
Below zero too.
Never fails. Snow comes and County takes Friday through Sunday off.
Roads are already schit from the 8 inches we got a couple days ago.
One feed pickup busted....the other just limping along.
Thinking about buying a brand new bed to put on a good pickup.
I am MAGA.

Wife broke a cable on the old pickup. Cable operates the squeeze.
She also had been riding the clutch......and informed me that it now pops out of 2nd gear.
Clutch linkage is worn out, and out of adjustment. Going to take most of the linkage to town to the NAPA store. Guy that owns it had a huge obsolete inventory.
Never feed pickup has a dual mass clutch just waiting to explode. Also has no engine fan.
Last summer the wonkey clutch pissed me off and I pegged the throttle and dumped the clutch. Older Ford frames are pretty flexible and it put the fan through the radiator.
Had done that once before so I decided to go with an electric fan. Have not been able to find one to fit so I am going back to an engine driven fan.
Somewhere in between I have lost the spacer that moves the fan forward to clear the belt.
Its okay as long as you keep it moving!
Bought a 2001 Chevy 2500 HD with the auto and a 6.0 engine from Dad today. Its in great shape.
I have an newer Cortney Berg hydra dec that I was going to fix up and put on something with a 6.0 liter. Never got that done, but I still have the pump and mounting bracket.
I figure I will sell that Hydra Dec and buy a brand new Hydra Bed. With the pump and kit I already own, and doing the install myself I can save a lot of money.
If I sell that other bed and apply it to the new one I figure it will only cost me 5000 bucks. They are 10,400 installed new!
A newer, solid pickup with a new bullet proof bed will make me sleep better....I hope.
I am MAGA.

I had to vacuum the pool today, wash a car and get my mx bike ready for a Friday ride. I'm exhausted.
Fight fire, save lives, laugh in the face of danger.

Jim, when it rains it pours!
Hate to hear of all the pickup trouble, hope you get it worked out.
Those Hyrdabeds are pretty much bullet proof. The actual beds anyway, the belt, pulleys and tensioners can go out. Pumps/fittings can leak a little here and there but no big deal.
Pretty much all the locally sold cab/chassis pickups get a Hydrabed, by far the most popular brand around here.
Hell, you've got the dealer right down the road!
Looks like the snow is gonna miss us, calling for just a couple inches. Enjoy your storm!

Well, we are certainly NOT enjoying the storm Sam....not one bit!
We did however manage not to all die today while feeding cows.....so there is that.
Kept the kids home from school. Buses ran this morning, but no buses tonight or tomorrow. Probably wont go tomorrow either.
Country decided they would go ahead and work a Friday......amazing.
I am MAGA.
