We were planning to move to southern Missouri, Arkansas, Kentucky or Tennessee 20 years ago but it just didn't materialize. We made several trips down looking at places and talking to cattle guys down there. At the time, I didn't think it was possible to make a living up here in the cow/calf business. The only folks I ever knew here to do it got most of their income off the farm, so I just assumed. I learned how it was done down there and brought those ideas up here and we've done way better than I ever thought we could.
I sure won't defend our cold weather, but just like the heat down there is a different kind of heat, the cold they get is a different kind of cold. One thing I learned quick was that you need a tractor with a cab for winter feeding down there because of the freezing rain and high humidity even in the winter. I've got two tractors with cabs, sure, but the only use they see in the winter is for hauling manure or hauling hay home from fence rows in deep snow. It's not that big of a deal feeding round bales or filling feed bunks with an open tractor here. It's like the Scandinavians say, there's no such thing as bad weather, just bad clothing.

After numerous dead ends for a replacement carb, I went to work fixing mine.I soldered new floats on the float arm, they came from an old motorcycle carb, replaced the packing on the throttle shaft with o-rings, cut new ga
