I think I laughed the loudest at " I wonder what the shipping charges are"
We have three sale barns within a few hours of us - so I bought her online, and then had to go pick her up. But the cool thing with that is how calm it was. We all had scheduled times - and there wasn't a rush at the pick up chutes...
These are the chutes for the big trucks - and we pulled into the chutes for the smaller trucks. My trailer opens pretty close to the ground - so if we backed in there the cows would have to jump. We are backed into our slot and are looking at those slots - so imagine when it is crazy busy - you could have 3 semis and 3 regular trucks all trying to back in to the same small space..
I am okay at backing - but when people watch - My trailer misbehaves... so it was a good day for me!!
We loaded her up - and she was obviously relaxed and Ready to go.... There was hay and a little grain in there to keep her happy as we traveled back!
This is just a photo because I made myself laugh. I put up an alleyway to run my roping steers to the arena - and this photo just proves that I am a much more accurate quilter than I am a fence maker - and you all know how much I LOVE wonky blocks in quilts...
I see a reason right here ;-)
A good end to a busy day.....
She's beautiful; congrats on your backing skills!
ReplyDeleteIt looks like you're expanding the family! She doesn't know how good she's going to have it! Our sales aren't online and we don't have scheduled slots for unloading and loading. Had probably 40 folks in the stands at the sale yesterday and not a mask in the bunch. Is she bred?
ReplyDeleteWelcome home little lady -- those wonky fences are just the beginning of your adventure.
ReplyDeleteNice to hear the end of the story! that sky was incredible!
ReplyDeleteThis city girl loves hearing about your country girl adventures! Backing a trailer is an art I never mastered! We’ve had a boat, a motorcycle and a 5th wheel. I’m the guide and that’s scary enough! 😊
ReplyDeleteOh man, I can't park straight so forget the backing stuff!! I'm always impressed watching guys in their big pickups back into parking spots so for sure you would've impressed me backing with a trailer! HA I'm wondering why you just bought one....
ReplyDeleteLOL Looks like a fantastic purchase to me.
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like they managed things very well.
Beautiful. She looks a little like one of the 4H heifers I had over 60 years ago. I grew up on a farm too. Cattle and horses etc. Great fun. My Dad bought and sold them all so always had some to work with
ReplyDeleteAh self pick up, like buying groceries kinda (that's the only thing even close in my life).
