I can repeat a few of the jobs some of the other posters mentioned. Pitching manure, especially away from the hay manger, castrating those 150 pounders, chopping thistles, carrying ground feed walking the bunks. One winter dad had seven bunks lined up and I carried 250 pails a day down those bunks. Wouldn't have been so bad if the cattle's heads weren't in the way. If I stepped on a tongue it kind of rolled under my foot. Oh yes, the most dreaded job-leveling the Grain-O-Vator auger wagon when dad ground feed into it with the Deere #10 hammer mill. The hammer mill spout barely made it over the edge of the auger wagon so there was a lot of scooping, and I was right beside the cyclone blowing white dust in the air, and on me. Used to hate rock picking. Now it's a job I brag about, being in my 60's and still able to pick up tons of rocks, unlike the neighbors who hire lazy kids. Jim
