[QUOTE="Texasmark, post: 1450770, member: 27848"] Continuing on wheat, I ran cows on it several winters, usually turned them in Dec. timeline giving it time to get some growth. I quit it because I did all this work in soil prep and all, bought seed and fertilizer and what'd they do......take a bite and walk 10 steps stomping it in the ground, etc......that's after they ran all over the place checking the fences like cows like to do. Then after a rain or two it was just a quagmire since the patch was flat, and they'd stand at the fence bawling and rolling their eyes at me to let them out and feed them some hay. When I first moved out here I shopped Feagin (and their grocery store....guess the same Feagan or Feagen or Feagin....don't know which owned the store) for some of his well picked over antiques. I had no idea as to what, how, where, or anything about farm implements....well farming in general. Don't recall if I bought anything or not. Bates Machine shop, across the street does all my farming breakdowns and wild idea machine work. Really nice folks, premium quality workmanship, great prices, and I think they enjoy the onesey twosey drawings I bring them. Breaks the monotony of the big jobs that pay the bills and we kick around the what and whys of the job. Nice chattin. Mark [/QUOTE]
