When I was about 12 and my Brother was 10, we used to have to carry 5 gallon buckets of ground feed to some steers my Dad would keep back and put in a feedlot at our house. We backed the pickup up to a grainary and load up to 25 five gallon buckets and set them in the back of the truck. Then go to the lot and start carrying them into the lot to dump into feedbunks.

Sure was glad for it to warm up each spring.
