I gotta respond to this. Moved some Herefords for a neighbor a few years back. Took five up to the auction, that's all we could fit into the trailer. So, he kept 'Moe' and 'Bubba' for a week because he had a kill date for one at the butcher shop. Went to load them the next week, one for the auction, the other for the freezer. Bubba walked right onto the trailer, and was put in the front compartment. Moe, on the other hand, was in need of a 'wide load' sign. He barely fit into the chute, and refused to go into the trailer. We even tried backing him thru the door, but his ribs expanded out like an anchor after his butt went thru and he wouldn't go any more. We finally turned him around again, and got a prod. Phil hit him with the prod, and nothing. Checked the batteries, and they were corroded. His nephew went for more batteries, we held Moe in the chute, and Phil stood behind him cleaning the contacts with his knife. Nephew comes back with new batteries, Phil starts to reassemble the prod, and discovers he had dropped the cap nut in the manure behind the steer. Here I am holding this animal (whale?) in the chute with a long pole, and Phil's digging in the brown hunting for a brass nut. Wish I had a cameraman for the whole operation. Never did find the nut, and Bubba finally got tired of not being able to back up, and casually hops into the trailer. The next day he got stuck in the chute at the butcher shop. They had to shoot him where he was, and disassemble the fence to get him into the cutting room with a forklift. 2900 pounds, and they took off 650 pounds of fat with the hide. He was almost a pet, and about 6 or 7 years old. Meat probably lasted the family about three years- there was a heck of a lot of it---

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
