It's about 7 hours away in mid Alabama. usually they load at 8 or 9 at night and get here at daylight but this year to get the trucks and also to get calves in as fast as possable we are just taking them anytime. We have water in the pen and just leave them in it till daylight. If it was wet and raining we wouldnt be doing that.

Jed good to hear that the calves are getting better. I've started to notice a lot of folks are starting to figure this cow thing out. :cowboy:

Sim how did the hay turn out? How many cutting did you get?
 
It made 3.3 tons to the acres single cutting, not one of the normal ideal cuttings. Not as good as most years but alright, but it was still kind of wet so we will see how it gets.
 
Dont miss that anymore, cleaning out headers hand cranking them open. Or fires starting up inside them, dont miss use the module builder at all... Always had to use it starting out when I was 12 and no shade on our's I had to use an umbrella and a rope..lol 6 row picker was alright. I always enjoyed using the High Boy and spraying!

I see your from my area Jed, like an hour away. We had a Cop from your City come to Academy in Pocahontas to give a speech back in 2005 Academy Class-B, the officer was shot in the face after a police chase end with a wreck and the suspect fired on him. The Officer killed the man but in return was shot in the face right upper cheek. He spoke at our class in 2005 about his training in Academy saved his life and that all that happened right after he graduated Police Academy he graduated 3 yrs before me, he was still my age he just started earlier than I did. Anyways y question was gonna be how many acres are you on? Around Manila where I am from my cousin owns a farm thats between 2,000-3,000 acres he runs mostly cotton but he is trying a new crop this year too. Believe he said he was going to be doing peanuts on a couple hundred of acres. You ever heard of doing peanuts in this area ?

I'm at least two hours from you, I can't think of who that would be.
I have to much when it's bad and to little when it's good.

Yeah your right, seemed so much closer I dont know how many times I by-pass it to memphis. Can the cattle eat the cotton stokes ? I noticed them being in a cotton field in one of the pictures unless I looked at it wrong?
 
Put my mower on a wagon, so it takes less space in the barn.
Don't have a frontloader or something like that.
Solution !!
