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. If it wasn't bad enough that the buckets weighed about as much as we did, it was in the late winter and early spring where the ground would freeze in the nights and thaw in the days so that there was deep holes where the cattle walked around and trying to navigate with two five gallon buckets full of grain and keep upright was very hard to do.

Sure was glad for it to warm up each spring.
