Coffee anyone ?

We wrap a chain around the post and hook it to the bucket of the tractor. When you tip the bucket back , the bottom pulls the chain straight up and bingo!

You aren't getting a tractor where these are or I would of, lay the post pounder down and it will slide down the hill it's so steep! Trees so thick a ATV might barely fit between there and that's if you don't flip the ATV too. If I recall 30° was how steep it was. Add in ice, snow and goopy clay and it's a recipe for disaster for any machinery.

I digress, anywho I got 20 more T-posts up need more, but going to have to get them from somewhere else where the sunlight has shined at to defrost the ground and isn't steep. I do have a spot to get the last handful that I need that my backhoe can access to, the rest are going to have to stay till this summer. Even managed to pull up about (6) 4 inch wood posts I sunk about 3' down by hand. Some will have to wait till summer. Bad thing about here is you can look at the survey and see you need this many feet of fence and posts at minimum, but in reality, better double that number for hills, ravines and cliffs or whatever to go up and down. Over all I enjoy this despite the hardship.

Low back has decided to send shooting pain anytime I breathe. 800mg of ibuprofen not doing anything. This is worse than knee acting up.

Did you have coffee with the ibuprofen? It does help but, a wrenched back is painful! Heat & stretches may help. It's a charlie horse in the muscles sometimes. I'm sorry you have this going on.

@Mini Horses Plenty of caffeine too. This is an injury from sometime in high school flaring up now that I'm in early prime years. Not sure what I did but shows up as narrow disk and extra calcium on xray. Did chiropractor last time and it helped for a while. Need to try physical therapy or spine doctor this time around.

Has anyone used Red Cell on sheep? I have an old lady with bottle jaw (been wormed). I know rc has copper but a couple of people I’ve met swore by it as a last resort. She has a lamb that can’t be weaned yet, dang it. The headaches of an aging flock.

TEN's unit been mentioned before? I got one and wow, I feel 16 again when in use.

Been out grazing today. The new triplets are still up in the barn and doing great. Geeze all 3 are bouncing around the stall. So cute. All set up for detection students who will be here soon.

 

[SageHill]

Back in the house, coffee in my cup (kind of sounds like the old Folger's commercials ).
The triplets are doing great, weigh in will be later today.
Thought I'd share what one of my detection students made for me - it's now my
new favorite hat.

I love your new favorite hat!

@Margali if that extra calcium is a problem, like a bone spur, there is a homeopathic remedy for that. I’ve used it to dissolve bone spurs. It’s called Calc Flour for Calcium Flouride.

Cell Salt #1 Calc Fluor

Relief from Colds, Hemorrhoids, and Chapped Skin

Take 4 tablets under the tongue 3 times a day. Within a week to a few days, you may be able to feel a difference. It will dissolve the extra calcium and either put it where it needs to be or flush it out in urine. I took it for 2 months, daily. Bone spur gone. It was on my foot and I could barely put my foot to the ground.

Calc Flour
Silicea
Calc Phos
These strengthen your bones and put calcium where you need it.

@Skiesblue I have used red cell in a pinch. You can bring a sheep back from the brink of death from barber pole worms. Bottle jaw is serious, but you have already wormed her, a little red cell can help too.

Coffee is ready! I’m going back to my friends to tape and float today. If his road has dried up, tomorrow I may take my 2 adjustable ladders and some 2x8 boards to make a scaffolding to make it easier to do the ceilings.
