    They are holstein replacements for a dairy. The reason they call it a Pot is because it resembles a possums belly. Pulled a Wilson like it for years.


    He'd steal a hot stove and come back for the smoke

    I saw a bad bullwagon rollover wreck one time down near Tyler, TX... I guess the driver fell asleep or got cut off hard by some 4-wheeler, because it happened on a straightaway on the interstate. The truck rolled over down a twenty-five-foot embankment at speed (vertical feet, I mean), and wound up lying on its right side in the grass at the bottom of the bank. Dead animals were scattered from hell to breakfast, but some of the stock survived and these were roaming around loose, a dangerous situation on the interstate... some county mounties and full-grown bears shut down traffic for a bit while they rounded up the stray animals. That part of the scene was almost comical, with cops in uniform chasing stubborn cows through the fields, but the wreck itself was pretty ugly, although I think the driver survived. The wagon had been ripped open like a sardine can, so it was a write-off, and the tractor didn't look so hot either, although the damage was less than if the wreck had occurred on hard dirt or pavement. This rollover happened at night, which makes me suspect that the driver fell asleep... I ran up on the scene at first light, and only had to wait about 15 minutes while the last animals were rounded up.

    Thats what he told the Lady who ran the Co. It was very funny as thats the way he told her just to hear he swear. He harrassed her all the time he worked for her and she was very well known in trucking at the time.
