Farmer Sells the Last of His Cows...

Health issues force a long-time farmer to sell the last of his cows. Facing surgery, physical therapy and a long winter our neighbor decides to sell for now... #familyfarm, #cattlefarm, #farming,

Sad to see a farm with no cows but at least there are a few to come back.

[@Rollinghillsfarmsmn]

Yeah, Dave has been frank about the loss of cows impacting him emotionally. I think we all see that day in the future and hope it never comes.

[@tractortalkwithgary1271]

Hope his rehab goes well.

[@Rollinghillsfarmsmn]

His wife will see to that😅

Winter now would be disappointing. Just looking at the 10 day.
We're expecting 50s, and rain.
I'm gullible when it comes to weather reports. Thank you Dave.

[@Rollinghillsfarmsmn]

Feels like spring. I’m still hoping for snow.

Trying to play catch up today. Sad to see the last cows go, hopefully he or someone else keeps cattle there again. Are you going to put a skirt on your other bale ring?

[@Rollinghillsfarmsmn]

I hadn’t thought about it but that’s a good idea on the four that don’t have them. I’d have to find belting somewhere.

Looks like the feeder is working well! If nothing else, maybe Dave's pasture will make some hay.. even in good years, there's no such thing as too much hay!!
Hopefully he gets to doing better and can at least help out his neighbors.. keep him as active as he can be 👍

[@Rollinghillsfarmsmn]

He’s planning to come back strong this summer in the seat of that John Deere.

[@pagrainfarmer]

Nice of all of you to help your friend out as he recovers. Hopefully he'll get back to good health and be able to run his cattle again.

[@Rollinghillsfarmsmn]

Thanks Charlie. We’ve worked together for years.

[@e.a.bfarms]

Looks like you guys lost most of your snow also! It's getting muddy agian!

[@Rollinghillsfarmsmn]

Almost nothing left and 40 degree temps this week.

[@e.a.bfarms]

@Rollinghillsfarmsmn We hit 50 a couple days. . .

[@patrickbachman2184]

Hopefully neighbor Dave heals well and gets back to farming this spring!

[@Rollinghillsfarmsmn]

Yeah, we’re counting on him😊

[@tractortalkwithgary1271]

Sad day for Dave

[@Rollinghillsfarmsmn]

Yeah, we try to keep him focused on the farming ahead.

[@tractortalkwithgary1271]

I hope that your neighbor watches you tube.

[@Rollinghillsfarmsmn]

He’s one of my most loyal subs. He enjoys the comments too.
