[QUOTE="TLCfromARK, post: 331954, member: 198"] I remember getting up in the morning and feeding the cows at the house before school and then after school feeding at the "farm" where the main herd was. I remember having to feed a few times by myself ( brothers gone or sick ), tieing the steering wheel, putting it in compound, used the choke to set the speed, crawling out the window into the bed and throwing out hay. I remember hauling hay in the hottest days of summer, hand digging out a little spring by the barn and drinking out of it, no ice water around. Stacking square bales in the barn up to the rafters, no loft, having to built layers and make two or threes throws to top out because I was too small to toss a bale all the way up. I remember being told ( a storm was coming ), " If this hay gets wet boys you'd better give your hearts to God because your butts are going to be mine" I remember hauling hay for other people for a penny a bale, they furnished the truck, and making as much as $10 a day and thinking I was rich. Lots of good memories, mostly hard work, but you slept good at night. ;-) [/QUOTE]
