    They'll eat anything. I don't know if it's still allowed but the tomato canneries used to take the skins and whatever was left when they boiled down a load of tomatoes, put it in big plastic totes and the dairy farmers would haul it off and mix it with regular dairy feed. Same with peach and plum waste.
    I rented pasture to a local dairyman and the next year I had little baby prune trees growing all over the place. He fed his cows a mix of grain, cardboard, molasses, and ground up prune waste.
    They were all springers and they all calved out pretty good the next spring. Amazing.

    Would be nice if we could get those here. Another potentially viable option would be a good thing.

    Funny thing is I noticed the local forestry equipment dealer up the road is a Scania power affiliate.

    I don’t know if it’s true. Chicken feed had chicken #### mixed in it. Swaya Vietnamese Catfish is fed raw human sewage on the Catfish farms.

Took me 2 hrs to get it off. I had the jack up a bit too high. I’m wore out. New bearings have some wear right in the middle. No end wear. It definitely wasn’t too loose. Shouldn’t have been too tight either. I did it to spec, had a bit of freeplay. Oh well, when I do the front brakes, I’m getting new hub kits with races already installed, with new bearings, and switching to grease. My last Truck had grease front bearings. Never had a problem. After taking apart the Trailers and seeing how well the grease held up. I’m sold. Back to work. 2 hrs till it starts to snow. It’s trying to tain now.
