Good stories. Our little place has steep hillsides, lots of it unsafe for mowing, and we keep a few head of cattle to help keep the brush in check. We get rid of the crazy ones, but they have to show themselves before you know they're crazy. The Brahma bull/tomato cage story reminded me of a young brahma that had a habit of squeezing through the slats of a round bale feeder.

This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
