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

Well that's different if they decide to charge you. In that case I'd give 'em a little love tap on the end of the nose, too.

And I sure don't blame you for not wanting to haul hogs.

 

I don't have the temperment to be a hog hauler with the rules they have now days

 

I never had a desire to haul oinkers and for sure would not want to now.
If I were hauling them I would want a fifth wheel with a hydraulic lift so you could raise it a little and give them incentive to head for the exit.

 

Worse tail whippin my Pops ever give me was when he caught me shootin his boar in the cods with my Red Ryder BB gun. They say that grandparents won’t tear your tail up but lemme tell ya that’s false cuz whoo that was a record book.

 

Don't blame him. You were putting the hog business in danger...Kinda messing with the propagation chain there....

 

The scary part was when he threatened to show me what it felt like

 

Why does this not suprise me in the least bit
Red Ryder BB gun & nadds..
Who'd thunk.. I'am pretty sure Kenny could testify to a few encounters
I got a sling shot & a bag of ball bearings for my birthday when I
was about 10
Less than a day later I got it taken away and my arse beat .. for doing the same thing to a bull
Luckly my dad had a few beers in him when he tired to use that sling shot on me cause he couldn't hit nothing but the ground in front of him

 

True story— I got 3 in one day from Gramps ( 1 for feeding his prize apples to Bullyhooker the butchering steer, 1 for swinging on his gate and springing the gate post and the other was for being mean to frogs)— and he knew how to get it done

 

A gate post that won't hold you swinging has never been set in MS. Dig the hole, set the post. line it up with the fence line (bent Bodock) Shovel in 1 and pack... Repeat... And if the dirt is dry and hard, pour in a tomato can of water (taken from the 5 gal can on the tool trailer) an alternate on up. Daddy better not be able to shake it... Fence, I can build.

 

The only kind of pig I enjoy moving around was feeder there small enough you could pick them up one handed and gently though them to the top deck when the bunch up easy to load n unload now the one going on there final ride are a pain in the ### some would fight you till there last Breath one place was so bad they brought them out one at a time took over an hour loading at that place ever time
