Whew,it's morning. Not too sore from it all. We ran 63 5-700 pound calves through the chute yesterday. I pushed them through and did the castrating. The oldest boy ran the chute and scale,the wife gave the shots and poured them. We were done by 2 o'clock. No problem there if that had been it for the day,but there was a round bale feeder that was trashed,so I got that welded back together. When I took it back out,there were about 20 11-1200 pound fats headed out across the pasture. They aren't supposed to be there. They had smashed through a board fence at the end of the feedlot and were still pouring out of there. I slogged through mud that was half way to the top of my boots and dragged a gate shut so they couldn't get mixed in with the cows,but three of them already had. I shot back around front with the tractor,ran in the house and told the wife to call the boy and get him back here. While I was dragging a gate out to plug the hole,two more got out. We got the big group of them back around in the barn and in to the feedlot then had to go back out and sort off the ones that were with the cows. At the end,I was elated that I could still run and drag gates through the mud without my heart exploding right out of my chest.

Today's Featured Article - Usin Your Implements: Bucket Loader - by Curtis Von Fange. Introduction: Dad was raised during the depression years of the thirties. As a kid he worked part time on a farm in Kansas doing many of the manual chores. Some of the more successful farmers of that day had a new time saving device called a tractor. It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'. My dad dreamed that some day he would have his own tractor with every implement he could get. When he rea
