Ahh, hay-making is in full swing here, too. We bought a brand new discbine 3 or 4 weeks ago and have already broken it badly once, lol.

Aaaaand, here is why it was broken: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ynoYLbjUG-A Uncle Possum is awfully hard on the equipment sometimes...... :3

We quit making square bales and went to all round bales back when all of my cousins moved away, heh. Only three of us left now, and I only do farm work Sat-Sun. :( For the moment, anyway.... Hoping to get back into it full time in a year or so when my uncle retires...

All of our horses are getting really old, too..... The only one that wasn't too old to ride foundered and died back at the beginning of spring... Bleh. I keep thinking about getting one once I get my house livable, iunno.......

I think it would be cool to cross a Gypsy Cob with a Tennessee Walker and try to get a furry-footed gaited horse that was small enough to ride but still big enough to pull a plow or a cart. :D But that would probably be awfully expensive, haha.
