thewife youd have to work pretty hard to tear a rake up.are yall making alot of hay this year.
I have a unique talant for breaking equipment and my poor little rake was junkyard bound when we got it! A new(BIGGER) one is next on the list.
I really hope we are making a lot hay this year, I don't want to have to buy any! We almost made it through last winter, but had to break down and buy some in the end.
I still have a couple more fields to do, and we should get a small second cutting off of the fields we are doing now.

BTW, anybody happen to know how much PTO power is needed to run a JD 216t baler?

Good morning, I think. Today is Day 1 of weaning, and it's, um, really noisy around here. The neighbor lady said "Shaddup" as she got in her car to go to work...I was out in my pjs trying to rangle Annabel again and yelled "SORRY!!" and explained we're weaning and hopefully the bellowing won't last too terribly long. Thank God it's a short week and a holiday weekend coming up.

I have the calves in the front pasture separated from their mamas by a three strand hotwire fence (currently dead, not that they've noticed..will fix that as soon as the Ace Hardware opens this a.m.). The pasture is next to our bedroom, in between us and the neighbor. I might need to move them to the paddock, which is more centrally located. Oy. I'll need lots of coffee this a.m.!

Oh, and the second bull is here. He's very different than the last, and a year younger. Should be interesting. I'm thrilled everyone stayed on the property last night with the fence not hot!

It'll be noisy for a couple days anyway. Maybe make the neighbors some brownies, cookies, or something as an apology.

:fl that you get that fence charged before they notice it's not!
