Calf photos, 1 irrigation pipe, no gates

It would be nice if my irrigation mainline was about 20 feet longer.  Recently I contacted a local irrigation supplier and he had a used 20 foot section.  He had to fix one end and make it 20 feet long.  Tonight I picked up the pipe. The pipe is aluminum.  It weighs much less than my 20 foot steel pipes.  The aluminum pipe fits nicely with the steel pipes.  Once I finish laying my mainline I'll see if the length is what I wanted.

With the recent rain the hayfield is growing very nicely!

At the bi-weekly online auction tonight they had a number of farm gates.  Initially the auction didn't list the gates' lengths.  This afternoon I went and checked the gates in person as I don't trust the online photos to show everything.  I also measured the gates.

There were a few gates I wanted.  Other gates I could maybe use and would get if the price was cheap.

To make this story short: I didn't get any gates.  The gates I wanted sold for too much and the gates I could maybe use sold for more than I wanted to pay for something I don't need right now.


The cattle and calves are doing well.  I have them in the north pasture the past few days.

Buster is growing and looking good.

Hmmm... looking at his photos just now I think I can see his horns starting to grow.  They look still too small to band right now to remove them.
