Darn Darn Triple Darn! So Close….But Yet So Far!

Wow, never seen bales stacked like that here in Texas.

Do you guys use large square bales? Rick and I really aren't a part of the day-to-day running of the ranching anymore...unless they need help pulling a calf or something like that. Rick's grandparents homesteaded the acreage. It is only about 1,000 acres in all...which by Idaho standards is a tiny ranch. They run about 60 head of cattle and lease out the farm ground since there isn't enough of it to warrant buying all the farming equipment etc. They do the same with the hay. They pay someone to bale it. To put it simply, the ranch struggles. I'm sure you know the saying...."Land rich, money poor." His Mom is old school and won't change a thing. In addition to cattle and horses, she still keeps 100 chickens and milks cows every day! At least now she's making decent money for the eggs! LOL.
