farmer 1,075 #1 Posted March 25, 2016 Cut the lawn this afternoon, the wife suggested towing the trailer (having washed it) to give the boy a ride, it wasn't long before the other two showed up! At 13 16 and 19 it made the old horse bark a bit more than it did 5 years ago, but 3rd gear was demanded. There were a few screams but the ear defenders worked a treat. Sorry about the pic, last one like this, I know what to do next time. 20 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Retired Sparky 526 #2 Posted March 25, 2016 (edited) That's a great looking broad. Makes me look back loneingly at my own flock. The country life, I think it is a simpler life and also where the young ones learn responsibilities for chores, not only to live stock, but also to other members of the family. Farmer, you are a lucky man. Edited March 25, 2016 by Retired Sparky 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We don't care if the pic is up side down. Those of us that may have grand kids that are in their teens, only sit and smile at those beautiful young faces of ours. You've got a great piece of ground and a great flock. My hat is off to you sir. Edited March 25, 2016 by Retired Sparky 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We didn't have a tractor growing up, we had a wheel barrow. Everybody got a turn in the barrow. Even the dog. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
