What if it Snows?

I had the paper work filled out to register the "S standing B" years ago, but never sent it in. Ive added the open oval and use it as a maker's Mark.

 

Well F me!!!



Last load of the day and half way through pumping off, my #### pump decides to take a #### and starts blowing fertilizer all to hell and back. Before I could even jump to shut it down it grunted and stalled. Not sure what all a repair will intale, dont care either... Have a better brand new pump sitting in the shop, just havent had an opportunity to get it put on yet. Guess I just found the time to get it done.

 

Would like to see an Idaho brand book. Many years ago we were raising cattle and not much need for brands as mostly fenced. But with the proliferation of the "community " sale barns, some of the ole boys thought a pickup rode better to the sale with somebodys yearling on it. So state set up a "Livestock Theft Bureau" and a brand register. Sheriff in Clay county then told people if see someone in the pasture at night, just shoot down there, then call him. He would come out and then go tell the next of kin, dead or in the back seat cuffed. Not much of a problem. Takes imagination to design a usable brand.

 

Out here ALL cattle and horse are required to be branded. Anytime you ship cattle you have to have the brand inspector come out while your loading.

 

@Cattleman84 Momma always said that thing had a shelf life, you keep pumping gallons of nasty through it, it’s gonna fail at the most inopportune time..

 

From news articles teachers have really changed in recent years. Never had me no teachers try to "molest" or "abuse" me. Makes me think I was not "desirable" in my youth. Teacher colleges must have changed the curriculum up some. Oh well; I graduated and soon went nationwide. Tastes vary by state
I learned.

 

Plan "B" has been implemented...

 

Hauling it to Ritchie Brothers. It's a pretty sweet old rig. 78 year. It's definitely been worked hard in the oil fields. There is so much slop in the gears . I put it in first gear and it went into gear, let go of the stick and it returned to the neutral position did a couple laps around the property. Bumpy as he'll and it's spring ride. Pretty cool rig. Never realized how small those cabs are. Makes me appreciate my new stuff

 

That oil pool appear like the farmer found his cow? "All at once?"
