I went out and found my missing steer and got him in. Poor ol’ Beav must have twisted his ankle a little while sorting yesterday or something as he was just a little lame in the right front. I’ll give him a few days off and see if it works.
Chance helped me and we got the steers in and loaded. Then I headed out and fed. Kind overcast, windy and chilly this mornin’. Not nearly as nice as yesterday. Had to hook on to one truck and pull him back up on the road. He was going to try to back in off the main road. Not a good idea.
Hooked up the team and hauled 4 bales out to the heifers. Probably haul out 5 tomorrow. Need some more hay trucked in.
Had some parts of my bale wagon get to flopping today, so this afternoon I went out and worked on it. These bales are all bigger and heavier than I had when I first built it so I made it so I have more leverage and then redid the front where you brace your feet and yourself when you are driving. Seems like I done something cuz I am tired!
Called about a couple teams advertised in the paper and they got $4500 and $3500 for them. Man, I guess I ought to be breaking them and selling them.
