We took a beef into the butcher today. We were selling half to a customer in town and the other half we are going to sell by the cut at the farmers market. My wife called to let them know that the animal had been unloaded and when to expect them. The price was $0.95 per pound of the liveweight. The wife said she thought my wife said $0.90. Nothing in writing about the price and not going to lose a sale over a few bucks, but still not pleasant.
That of course was better than the guy last fall. He agreed to buy a whole hog at a certain price. But he had a particular butcher he wanted to use. Well, that's alright with me. We don't usually go there, but we can. So we set up to take his and two others there on a Monday morning. Saturday afternoon my wife gets in touch with him to confirm that he is going to be there on Monday. Well, now he doesn't want to go to that butcher, he wants to go the other direction from our house about the same distance to a different town AND he wants to pay 30% less than we agreed to. Good thing I wasn't talking with him. My wife asked me what she should tell him, all I could choke out was NO! Clearly he didn't have the money for it, but if that was the case, why not just say so? Not having the money before I load the animal I can handle. But being an idiot is really too much.

I was thirteen, and Kathy (my oldest sister) was seven. At this age, I believed tractor farming was the only way, hot stuff -- and given a chance I probably would have used the tractor, Dad's first, a 1936 Model "A" John Deere, to go bring in the cows! And I think Dad was ready for some automation too. And so it was that we acquired a good, used J. I. Case, wire tie hay baler. In addition to a person to drive th
