We would put just 2 dumps on the wagon and pull it to the yard. Then I would go to school. Once we put too much on and sunk it to the axles.

We had milked cows for years but in the 70's milk prices where so bad he decided to sell out an we got into farrowing hogs. We put the farrowing barn inside the old milk stalls and something did not agree and we lost all the baby pigs for a couple of years, we had 1.5 pig average. The local vet could not figure it out.
