The following is un horse-related so just take it as a public service message, trivia, words of wisdom, or any way you care too. I know I come off as the all-knowing, all-seeing, learn-ed one but this is too much of a good tip to waste for fear I will be taken as a blowbag. (Ahh.., thats the good thing about that being the prevailing sentiment, ya aint gotta fret on it any much.)

When tooling around the country side and ya see a mudtrundler fulla muskmelons with a brother tendin over their sale, STOP.
If you are the lover of melons it is widely-accepted & common knowledge that nobody knows their business around a melon like a brother. And no, this is not a way of making a sneaky racey comment in code. Some of my best and longest-standing friends have been black and I have loved em like a..
well...., brother.
I mean ya dont go to the shoe store to buy a pig or run into the smoke shop to buy a picallo, why in the name of all that is sacred would ya get a melon anywhere but? Shoofly was about 40, a baptist deacon, we spent 15 min on his porch talkin gardens, weather, the state of the Union, & them dang conehead bike riders. If I ever get his way again believe I'll stop & say hi.

Got a friend I met shortly after moving to VA runs a dairy with his Dad & uncle. Today they had the annual field day sponsored by the VA Holstein Assoc. at his dairy so I stopped for a very few min on my way back.
Look at the size of his cows-growth hormones. These babies are like giants compared to the Holsteins I grew up milking. They get 60-70 lbs of milk per milking out of some of em. Divided by 8 into gals.-
I have a bull calf comin in about a month!! I met the proud Momma and told her her son would go to a worthy cause.:D

Nice place! Does that surface get slippery? I HOPE you were using your telephoto and not standing that close behind cows, it's dangerous, and I don't mean kicking.
No International pics? I'm crushed:rolleyes:
I miss my 656 with hydrostatic drive.....

Shoer,

Thats some big cows and a lot of milk! That is not the right red tent. It should say Case IH or Farmall or old Mcormick..........IH. Thats O.K. though. It's better than green. The only green I want to see is on my jig. Cool Pics man. CF

Used to have a 656. Sold it to a chicken farm operator. Also had a 1466, a 1086, and a 3788 articulator. Now have 2 CaseIH 7120s, Case IH 9150 articulator. 1844 cotton picker and 2555 cotton picker. Soon will be trading 2555 on a 2388 combine. We also have an old 856 that runs good and still does a lot of work. Has saved us a lot of back pain. only makes us money, it is so trouble free. Guess thats why they quit making them. Late 60's era. Oh yeah we also have a farmall 300. runs but not in use. early 50s era. And last but not least a Farmall Super A that we mow our grass with. early 40s era. Tuff old tractors. CF
