Around 2pm my bro and I decided to go out to the pasture to pew pew. We got to the gate and there were 3 bulls about an arm length away from where you open the fence.

We sat there about 20 seconds and my brother said " how about we go to the other pasture to pew pew"

As much as I want to claim I'm country I'm just a city boy cosplaying as a country boy.

i think not walking next to some bulls taking a break from rough ridin' your uncle's cows to death is probably the correct country boy response.

Actually he's not much of a farmer anymore since he's part of a Diesel Bro's type company partners called Whistlin Diesel featured You Tube.  They sell big lift kits.

Cruised the pasture this evening and noticed a black angus in with the red angus.

My uncle/cousin have been "hauling cattle" for the past couple weeks but all I know is that every couple of days a big pickup hauling a cattle trailer pulls up and then leaves.

My guess is they are taking the grown calfs away?

You usually do that all at once not not a few at a time. Because you have to vaccinate them and cut them (in the balls).

I thought artificially insemination was the preferred method of impregnating cattle these days. Apparently it's not?

Reminds me of when I was high age we would have friends over during late fall/winter and one of my chores was to feed our cattle.  I would load our pickup with square bales and take them to the pasture.  I wound have one of the guys hop in the back and toss off the bales.  These were wire  tied so before a bale was tossed the wires would need to be pulled off.  Anyway, if the guy in the back of the truck forgot to pull off the wires, he would need to jump off the truck and remove them as the hungry cattle were chowing on them.  Never less, not one was brave enough to do the task.

I was there but can't remember who we played.  Was this the same time the Mask was making vids.?

So apparently when we get around 25 inches of rain the previous year the "creek/lagoon" holds water all year and ducks hang out.

(No ducks in the picture but they were there before we rolled up to pew pew)

[ben ji]

Here is a pic with actual ducks chilling in the "Creek" area.

Those looks like coots, were they all black?

One of the funniest things in the world is flipping through a bull semen catalog with photos of absolute units and a bunch of barcode numbers and stats and crap.

that's pretty cool. I'm guessing they have gps on the sileage machine because thinking about getting that to fill the truck even is stressing me out. Also crazy to be actually driving a semi in a field. you'd get stuck so fast in the fields I worked in and I am also getting stressed thinking about that and tipping over when they have to drive over the hundreds of terraces we have in every field.

[steve dave]

could have gps but I've seen that done tons of times manually by elite german mennonite drug money laundering silage choppers.

that's crazy. I did the combine unloading onto a moving grain cart w/o gps but we never had to worry about filling it evenly. Just dump it in.

I dont know anything about ducks but they were standard duck colors. Around 6 ducks total hang out between the two places that have standing water.

[ben ji]

and sometimes the hardest part of regular cow farming is counting them from the pickup. oh are there 78 in that pasture? OK good let's go.

Rusty, that was one of my many jobs; cattle count and check stock tanks for water.  It's amazing how Kansas farm boys did familiar work and various things on the farm.   

Why does it have to be farm boys? My cousin's daughter (my second cousin?) lives in KC but is back in Colby due to the pandemic. She was going to come out and play golf after helping do farm stuff but one of the stock tanks was clogged so they had to spend all afternoon messing around with that and didn't get to play any farm golf.
