Almost Finished! Restoring and Repairing

We have been experiencing some warm weather for this time of the year, so why not pour some concrete!?
Plus, the guys are starting to wrap up their trailer restoration project.
Also, the baby calves are so cute!!
Thanks for watching!

    Gosh, Ronda, I didn't remember what coat you had on and thought you were screeding on the other end from Kevin! I was just shocked at you doing that instead of one of the boys, but you do plenty as it is. So, was there fiberglass instead of mesh in the crete?Oh, and nice job on the trailer rebuild, Kevin and guys. I've done a couple, too, and yes, buying fenders gives a far better finished look.

    Hello Rhonda, I have a question. I have a 1980s Wheel Horse Work Horse Garden tractor that was given to me by my late father-in-law. It has always been very difficult to get started unless I used starting fluid. I used it for a few years until it would stop running when I was mowing the ditches. It runs okay on flat land. Would Sanders be willing to work on it when he has spare time. I've watched all your videos, and I know living on a farm, there's not a lot of spare time. You should remember me. I have messaged you in the past, and we've seen each other at the live stock auction house. If you don't remember me, let me know here, and I'll send you a message.

    That's how it is on a Dairy. The calves will be fed thier mother's colostrum and milk for a few days, and then her milk will be put in the cooling tank with the rest of the milk. The calves will continue to be fed milk for a few weeks and then transition to grain and hay diet. Bull calves are sold to be raised for beef or veal.
