Muck Boots 'n' Slickers - Life of a Livestock Hauler

Ha, what year was that?

 

#### hadda be 89 or 90 I can’t remember. I do remember however I went to Barton Coliseum 2 weeks later in Little Rock and seen them again

 

Behave your selves while down there. I have been in Tupelo since 72, only visit sis in WP and a brother in Columbus area (New Hope).
Thinking about the barns down there. The original one; north of town that burned, was the one I started in. Open the gate to the ring every Friday at ! PM.
Work the sale, check up and pen the purchases, then load for Indianapolis.

In later years there was Prairie Land and Cattle Co barn down south just before the Walmart.

Turning off 45A and across Yokohama Rd going to Prairie Livestock; you are crossing my old two south pastures. Daddy bought that 120 acres in 1949 for 10K. Bet the ROW for the road sold for more than that.
Is Jimmy Bryan owning/running Prairie still? I knew when the plant was sold to Sara Lee, he took the land and cattle. His cousin Johnny Bryan took a position with Sara Lee and went to the top there. Last time I saw Jimmy was in 1954. He was my helper on the Greenville route. Regular man was sick, Jimmy was working in the business and they sent him with me. Good young man, worked like a beaver and was already chewing tobacco like his dad.
Both sides of the Yokohama Rd you turn off on; in 52/53, was boot top deep in KY31 Fescue and Ladino clover. NJ Ranch with irrigation well pumping 8"
stream into a central pond and 4 " alum pipe /sprinkler heads. Could stop, stand, and watch grass grow....

 

Hey @Oxbow I just got done putting a set of Cali hook ups on my truck then realized that I gots to have a different pole on my deck plate for my service lines
Was woundering if you would ask your friend that made your headache rack if he would make me up a stick ..
Ask him if he could make 3 of them cause my good friend needs 1 too & Iwas gonna give the other 1 to you as a favor
Heres what I had in mind ask him.if he could make the pole outa brass too Please

 

You two best behave. If Doc goes home once more with stripper glitter and dolla bills in his bandanna my goose is cooked no burnt. She was mad I tell ya As you can now see he is the suck ### king and throws all liability on ol Dad here.

 

Hey .. I'll take the blame .. but I had my reasons.. Doc is like a rock star to party with.. and he's like my wing man
Plus we was have'n a good time & knocking back some cold 1's. and he gets to telling me how you threw is arse in the truck a couple weeks ago just about the time he had alittle something something line up
I'am thinking its time to get me another co- pilot and figured I take him.out .. and sneek him.back home under the cover of darkness and maybe you'd be asleep and not throw a block at his plans this time..Cause I wanta end up adopting a son or daughter of his down the road

 

You want it spring loaded for the boing effect too?

Brass eh.......remember, this time of year, moist lips stick to metal!

Those Cali hooks look really cool, but this time of year I wonder if snow and ice weight can cause them to sag and drag.

 

Ha, Mama's Boy...............unless Uncle Gus takes him for a ride.

 

It’s really a who’s feedin me type a thing lol

 

Show and Tell!

Finally got my headache rack installed and wired in. This will likely be my last pickup, so trying to go out in style!
