REMINISCING

it's a heavier fans hey out there in fact there is no feed growing it's all dry and dormant okay so I think I'm gonna end up putting out three tubs in this pasture [Music] well check it out I've got a little supplement loaded up and it's getting to be about that time of the year where we need to start supplementing our cattle a little bit ray just put a bunch on his truck and he went down to a pasture that we have down the Woodruff Road here to feed some cows and I'm gonna go put a little supplement out to some steers and see if we can give them a little help during these cold months where there's not much feed growing in fact there is no feed growing it's all dry and dormant they're just eating whatever dry on the ground and the supplement will give them a little protein and a little energy and help them utilize that dry feed that they're eating so let's go put it out as well as some salt and just kind of generally take a look at cattle and see how they're doing [Music] let's open this gate we leave it open we're gonna be coming back out of this pasture in maybe 30 minutes [Music] we got one there leave one outside this pasture - well I was starting to leave this tank right here and some cattle came running up over the bank so we'll put a tub out for them right here they're looking for something too here they come [Music] [Music] hey so I think I'm gonna end up putting out three tubs in this pasture there's quite a few cattle in here and they're pretty well scattered they really like this fresh water when we pump water out of the ground with a solar pump they really like to come and drink over here rather than drinking that kind of dirty stock water tank water so I think I'll put out another tub of supplement right here for these cows [Music] [Applause] [Music] last stop right here free molasses tubs and salt [Music] [Music] [Applause] there's a a couple of empty tubs that have blown over here on the other side of this tank we call these big palms tanks here in Arizona I know at some parts of the world a tank is a metal tank with water in it or plastic tank or fiberglass tank we call these dirt tanks or dirt dirt stock ponds whatever the case anyway around on this other side are a couple of empty molasses tubs I'm gonna go pick them up just so they're not blowing around the countryside [Music] I'm gonna say I need to bring a chainsaw down here clean that tree up a little [Music] so we shared this tank with our neighbor this is us on this side of the fence that's Whipple's on the other side of the fence and this tank is connected right here had actually it actually feels from our side and then flows over into his master I think it feels over here as well so it kind of feels from both sides strangely enough I still have some molasses in it I decided to come home around through Woodruff I kind of like coming this way dirt road all the way but I like this old bridge and just like coming around this track [Music] they have taken the long way home today probably 30 miles out of the way to come around this direction but this is a road that as a kid we used to drive back and forth across this road a lot going from a ranch that we had over here at a little place called hay hollow over to the ranch that we had by Woodruff and I have not been across this road in probably 20 years yep it's right here in the area where I live but I just never have any call to go across this road so when I came by today I thought you know what I'm gonna run across there see if there's anything I still recognize as being the same from 20 years ago lots of nothing out here kind of good cow country [Music] [Applause] Wow this is bringing back some old memories a friend of ours used to own this place right here and he grew alfalfa hay right here just through the fence his name wasn't worse than Hanson back up here on these fields he always grew potatoes he had a couple of barns up there got a nice little house over there and kept this thing up nice and neat but and not like anything like he used to and the road that I'm on right now was not here when he owned this place I don't know if anybody's living there now [Music] he used to irrigate out of that pond right there that alfalfa field down below that reservoir he would fill that pond up then he would irrigate out of it the stumps and then right up in here he grew his potatoes well one thing for sure nothing ever stays the same doesn't everything changes come on a road right here that they call County Line Road and like I say back when we lived out here this this road wasn't even here [Music] [Applause] there's another little shop for you off out across there used to have a ranch right over there twenty two sexes thought up over in that area it started maybe I'm gonna say two miles from here you'd like that ranch was about six miles wide I don't know maybe six or seven miles long it was a fun place to grow up when I was kid it's your change now though there's lots of houses out here but I'm on a road right now that didn't even exist when we were out [Applause] [Music] [Applause] okay so I'm kind of back where I started from I ran into a little bit of a snag the direction I was going as in kind of some impassable roads and roads that we're gonna take too long so I turned around thought I'd be adventuresome today but instead I'm only got 63 miles until I'm empty on this tank of fuel so I need to be getting to a fuel pump so I decided I just turn around go back the same way I came in so that's what I'm gonna do it's a little better road here too but hey you have to take adventures once in a while in your life don't you get off the beaten path and check things out see if you can get through that direction or not especially when you used to live out here if I had a little more time and a little more fuel in my tank I probably would have toughed it out went that other way but since I don't I decided to turn around and take the big wide graded Road back into town it's a hi to your fans hey out there it's a little chilly here we just went and checked on our friends house just to make sure that everything is good and that the heater stayed on they had it repaired so they're just wondering check and make sure since they live where it's warmer in the winter kind of just a summer home for him everything was good so we are going to call it a day today thanks for joining us see you tomorrow everybody flake out [Music] you
