Some of the scenery out in my pasture this afternoon. That big red bull is standing in front of my grandfather's Red River Special threshing machine. It makes a good scratching post for him and the rest of the cattle.

"Where's that alfalfa??"

Every day now they wander the pasture in hopes of finding green grass. Not much to find yet and they always come back to eat old hay bales out of the feeder.

Is he a Shorthorn or maybe Milking Shorthorn? Dad had Milking Shorthorns.

Any idea how long it has been since that Red River Special was in operation? We have a 22 inch McCormick that we run every fall at the MN Agricultural Interpretive Center. Belt power comes from an MM "U".

Hard to believe but there is a lot of black angus in his father's side of the family. Mothers are all descendents of dairy breeds we had when milking cows. Brown Swiss, etc.
I think the old separator might have been used a bit in the early fifties but dad got his first combine about 1950 so they mostly combined the crops after that. They might binder and thresh oats so they could have a pile of oat straw in the yard for winter feed and bedding.
