Mud and rocks. Grrr

[kenny thomas]

Some of you wont understand what I am talking about when I say mud and rocks. People like Jed and some others think a rock is something to put in the yard.
Due to a neighbor not having some hay moved off the field yet I actually had to start feeding hay for a few days. Not something I usually do in Feburary. I have lots of hay in the barn though so no big deal.
Where I travel through a gate the ground is so muddy it has ruts in it almost as deep as the bottom of a 100hp 4x4 tractor. Well last night I was so sick I could hardly go feed but did and first found a dead calf. Started back to the barn to get a loader bucket so I could bury the calf. Was trying to keep the front tires of the tractor on top of the ruts which did I mention had been made between some big rocks. Front end of tractor slid into the rut bending the tubeless rim and there went the air and fluid. Had a hammer in the tractor so I got most of it stopped before it came loose from the rim. All this still in the mud. I hate mud and rocks. Did I mention how cheap and easy it is to graze all winter?

I know how you feel but it could be worse. Mud means moisture and that in itself can't be that bad.

When I was younger this would have bothered me so much I would have fixed the tire last night and buried the calf after. It was 8 or so then so I just parked the tractor and went back tonight and finished the job. I am getting old I guess. I hate loosing a calf, which by the way got his back downhill in the mud and couldnt get up, but didnt give it a second thought. It happens.
