Been doing hay at the Ranch since about 93 when I was not 55 lol. This year last night we loaded the last bail for 2018 in the barn and from this year on we and myself wont be bucking hay. I like the workout but damn it was a whole lot easier when I was 30 then 55 but we got it done around 10 last night Whew! The Mrs even got out there and was loading bail, damn.... she done that the last two years.
What I notice is all the young people in the family we too busy or had aches and pains to help. So all of us all over 50 finished all the hay loaded on the trailer and hand loaded in the barn. Those same people are the first ones to show up at a BBQ. This is not a compliant as much as I am sure like many others sewn from a different thread, as age didn't matter work needed doing we did it.
We are officially going back to cattle we have hordes there thats what the hay is for, but we are going back to cattle something we did pre-93 and being where my son works this will make it a great investment and no more hay bucking I was thinking soon it was going to have to end, still can doing not even sore today just tired as we had to finish on the hottest day so far this year.
Well back to work...... anyone else bucked hay this year ??
