Hi Gary; That photo takes me back to the 1960's when I used to help out on a farm near my family home. The cattle were in an open yard with an open fronted brick built low shed. We used to take in the hay (small bales) on trailer pulled by Fordson Super Major. The feed was barley which had been crushed (on the farm) mixed with sugar beet pulp (shreaded & dried) and cattle nuts (hi protein small cubes). Yep the cattle would often be outside rather than under the shelter of the shed. Peculiar is'nt it. Sure do miss those days when life was not so hectic. After agric college I worked for a large farming company, all grain, potatoes & sugar beet cropping. As a 20 year old, couldnt get enough tractor driving in on new Ford 5000. At 56 I often think that I would like to go back to those mixed farming days if I had enough money to buy and run a farm. Happy memories for me though. Cheers David
