My chicken cackle a whole lot less..Well you know out here in Vermont we have lots of farms that have chickens, horses and pigs, and I am sure if you like feeding them they would gladly let you, for free. And while you are at it if you want you can feed and milk the cows, shovel the sh*t, fertilize, till, plant and harvest the fields, right before haying and bailing, from before dawn until after dusk, everyday, whether it’s -30 or 100 degrees, forget about vacations. <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> I’m in CA, now. I was raised on a working farm, that is where I started working on equipment. Red Bone hounds, pigs, no cattle, 3, 40 acre plots and one 60. Sweet corn, tomatoes, cabbage, lettuce. I also worked on active well head pump stations.. (Gas and oil country). My dad had the normal 5 jobs (at one time) after he got back from Vietnam, Standard oil (well heads), the water district, the mobile JD mechanic, owner of the Richfield service station and worked the farm with my Uncle who was one of 3 local Vets that did heard work.. Beefalo was all the rage on Texas Cattle Co. Island farms. I hated those things.. I had to help with inoculations, calving, and NUT cuttin’. Every now and then a nose ring for a stubborn bull or cow. (that was always fun) 25-120 degree weather. I’ve never mucked cattle, only horses, BUT I did get stuck milking two cows we had every other Sunday while me Mums went to church. The odd weekend, when my mom stayed home on Sunday, Me and my Grandmother would go. The older I got the more I did. 6 to 61, broken neck, that did slow me down.. Not much.. 67 now. I was here on AG as Diepiolet for 10 years, away for 5 and re registered as oldhvymec.. I’m a 20+ year vet.. It’s not the length of anyone time on AG, it’s their contribution.. Never met a person I didn’t like, BUT in Vermont don’t you guy’s still have the CRAZY Quaid brother.. Randy, and great syrup? :-) BTW we have Islands in our delta as big a Vermont. I know I’ve sandbagged for a solid week behind levees worries and winter storms.. Cattle country THEN, not so much now.. NOW I’ll move on if I like.. Slowly to boot.. BUT only to feed my chickens, if I want.. Vermont Yankee Yak, as my granny would say. in her Gaelic, Texas accent.. Regards.. |
