I just realized that I am basically a 225lb squirrel.

Spend all summer gathering feed for the upcoming la Nina winter.


Anyway, I am putting along with the final bales on-board da ol' 74 IH Loadstar.


A squirrel and his nuts.

Good job Sam.

Winter is coming.

LOL!

Been squirreling away hay myself here.



Maybe another 18 wheeler load to go. Waiting for the next cutting.

Your winters are cold...

You gotta stock the pantry and cellar....Wait, hay ?

Never mind.

😬🦫

Good job Sam.

that's what I told the 4th chick one night.

This I don’t believe


😂🦫

You may not believe him, but it's still true👏👏👏

lol best was 3 one night.

Dang thought this was about an impending vasectomy

All at one time I hope.

nope

It was a family reunion.

lol party out on the island, we took bait...

Jail bait?

no, my brother bartended and managed most of the clubs here back in those days, so when we went to a club or party we'd take a couple of hot chicks with us who were friends. the other women would notice this and being women would bite, come and hit on us.

Boones Farm?

Bartles and james.

Are you gonna be able to find all them bales?
I read that squirrels usually only recover 35% or 40% of what they hide!
7mm

I sent in two samples, curious about protein %.

Yep - get heatstroke all summer, bringin' it in.
So you can get frostbite all next winter, puttin' it all back out !

Nice Sam, when do you start feeding if you haven't already?

Neighbor about 9 miles down the road toward town. Got his last cut on that pasture about 3 weeks ago maybe? Turned 40 some head out there, most have dropped "fall" calves now, some already had theirs when he turned them out. They've about eaten the remnants down so he's getting into his bales now. Grass in that pasture, alfalfa on this side of the road I'm parked on.

Geno, we sorta kinda started feeding a month ago.

Old cows.

With calves.

Good job Sam O!

I thought the bonified king ranch f250 farm tag ranchers had someone to put up the hay for them…

Dave, sent you a PM

Ours.

Most here are starting up or already have it seems. One bigger operation got one of those grinder things this year, didn't have it last year, the first year after they bought the 8K acres and built a feeding station. They've had cows over there for a few weeks now.

Rancher neighbor has his herds on his alfalfa pivot pastures for a few weeks now, maybe more than a month now that I think about it. Haven't seen any bales out there yet, so he hasn't started those herds on feed yet.

Y'all have an interesting lifestyle, that's for sure. Interesting thing, now some of the range is greening up as we've had some rain. My outside the fence stuff has grass coming up all over.

"Take care of those cows, and they will take care of you.'

Take care of your nuts, Sam.

Hoping to get done tomorrow. Having your hay 40
Miles one way of the roughest gravel roads in the world isn’t much fun.

About 42 there?

Yes. 42 bales 12-1300 pound bales.

Pulling that with a Toyota?

😂

Good job . Take off next week and bird hunt .

That’s a good load.

Why not?

Now that’s funny

Back in Grad School I was visiting a girl from the University of Texas, left her dorm room early because I was supposed to help another girl with a bird survey.

Once in the woods one thing led to another and she said to me “It’s been a long time for me, has it been a long time for you too?”. Of course I said “Why yes, it has.”

What I wanted to do was look at my watch and say “Oh I dunno, 3 1/2 hours maybe?”

Extra points because it was still morning, prob’ly the motorcycle had something to do with it.
