100% Country boy here!!! Never had any cattle or livestock but raised some pigs and owned a few horses. My dad was the milkman for 30 some years so it didn't take long and I was working for a bunch of the dairy farmers my dad picked up milk for. I think I've thrown more hay and straw bales then most people. Thats where I made my money between 10 and 18 years old. On the average I would throw between 3,000 and 5,000 bales a weekend if the weather was decent. And after that it was off to milking the cow's at night. 120 hour weeks were the norm for me back then and I loved it! I now own my dads milk hauling business. My folks split up and got divorced 9 years ago after 25 years of marriage so I then bought the house and business that I grew up with and in. My 1st 5 years in the Milk Hauling business I didn't get much time off. Many a times I'd go 3 and 4 months without a day off. My job is 365 days a year, 7 days a week. These were 16 hour days, sometimes even longer! I finally got smart and hired some employee's so I now have some freedom to do what I want. Just recently I picked up another future hunting buddy! Her name is Lydia, she's my pride and joy, she's my daughter and she's 8.5 months old. She's something else!!
Here's a picture of my g/f and I with my future little huntress!
