Good morning everybody!

Let me introduce myself, my name is Mud!
About everyday I check craigs list for a Brown chinese gander! I never check it for bale picker uppers! Seems some guy Hubby knows, always checks craigs list for bale picker uppers! I guess he found a good deal on one not far from here! Of course Hubby just had to tell the boy about it! Yea, I'm Mud!


Sorry about your baby homesteadingcowgirl.

can you make one out of some old equipment, we made a really high one for putting bales on the trailer and then just a slant one (using the force of the vehicle for getting them on the flatbed.

I check Texas craigslist all the time! It's how I get my Beefmaster picture fix! (sure can't get it here)

Luckily Hubby didn't tell the boy, if we find a good deal on a bale picker upper, the neighbor will probably buy it! Won't cost us anything, but we will be able to use it!

Good morning! Having a slow start to the day today. Maybe I need more coffee?? It's still gray here and cool, but I think it's supposed to warm into the low to mid-70s in the next couple days, and that will be nice. Today is another day of errands - windshield replacement, library books to return, need to see if I can get more pain medication for DH's old, ailing dog who we're essentially providing hospice care for. Should be the perfect day for errands.

On an exciting note, we found a old scissor-gate squeeze chute for $300 from the friend we bought our hay from! It needs some welding at the bottom and is very rusty, but it will sure beat what we have for cattle handling, which is nothing!!! Whee!!

I think you really need them!



Yea Amy!
Rusty and needs welding?
Sounds like everything on this farm!

 

[amysflock]

thewife, if we had any stuff on this farm, it would also be rusty and needing welding! Wait, all that crazy stuff DH keeps picking up ("free" rototiller, woodstove (original to our house and ugly as sin), air compressor) ALL is broken down, rusted and needing _something...to be taken to the dump in my opinion!! That man is a magnet for other people's broken down "finds." Sheesh.

Just saw on King5.com they're expecting highs in the 70s today...I sure couldn't tell by looking outside! Wow.
