Been training a new hired hand

Bruce from Can. · Mar 31, 2020

Even though his legs are kinda short, and he can?t use a full size bucket, he does seem to have a good work ethic. Probably going to take another dozen years to get him fully trained. He has learned a fair bit in the last 22 months, but not ready for a management position just yet.

What a great picture Bruce! I love to see young ones helping on the farm!!! Brings back a lot of memories.

jon f mn · Mar 31, 2020

I have one just about the same in training as well. Nothing more fun.

Nice Bruce! Always good to have a little buddy around to help ! Does he get paid in pie ?

larry@stinescorner · Mar 31, 2020

he deserves a slice of pie for sure!!!

Bruce from Can. · Mar 31, 2020

Funny thing, he has about 25 words, and cows and pie are two of them

Absolute best way to raise a child!!!

JD Dave · Mar 31, 2020

Oh, yes! I respect the young ones brought up on a farm. They're the few little ones who will save us all.

It's okay until he combines those two words. Whole nuther meaning then.

OliverGuy · Mar 31, 2020

I bet he?s already a better worker than 10 of my guys

Philip d · Mar 31, 2020

Kids sure love cows! Great picture Bruce!

Crazy Horse · Mar 31, 2020

O GUY ..... doesn't sound like payday would be much fun for you ..... unless you are exaggerating a wee bit ..... ha!

Crazy Horse · Mar 31, 2020

JD .... yeah, I guess all the kids raised in town might as well be tossed out on the scrap heap, they never amount to anything and are just a burden on our society. Those kids never become doctors and nurses and teachers and electricians and mechanics.

CH, do you really have to make a snide remark? How about giving it a break....we all know you are the smartest guy on the forum.

Guy once told me--the best thing you can teach your kids(Grandkids) is how to work. The second best thing you can teach them is how to play.

FLOLDFORD · Mar 31, 2020

Bruce I didn't have a lot to smile about today until I saw that picture
Thanks!

Cowboy2005 · Mar 31, 2020

Na, he looks capable go ahead and give the kid a management position! Just stay outta his way when he's driving a tractor! Lol

centash · Mar 31, 2020

Looks like you will be sent out to pasture sooner than you think...!

Great pictures, my girls often helped, then drew pictures of the cows at school the next day. Some needed a bit of explaining...

It makes it all worth it. That is why we do what we do.

Paul from MI · Mar 31, 2020

Wife was always after me to play more with our three sons. I always said "I'll may not teach them how to play, but I'll da-- sure teach them how to work" Must have been OK, they're all successful happy married guys, with great wives. Oh, they played a lot too.

OliverGuy · Mar 31, 2020

You are correct. Sometimes it is not. When we signed 51 checks one night, I decided to pull the reins in some for my sanity. Didn?t help much!!

Crazy Horse · Mar 31, 2020

Well, mine might have been a snide but yours was pretty cutting too I thought. And no, you might think I am but I'm definitely not the smartest guy here on the forum.

Bruce from Can. · Mar 31, 2020

I took what jd said to mean that save us all , as in feed us all ! Lots of good kids grew up in town, I am married to one ! And farm kids don?t always stay on the farm either, I have a brother with a BA ,MA and PHD, and has been a Professor with tenure for over 30 years. And I can tell you for a fact, he hasn?t ever forgotten his roots on the farm, milking cows, gathering eggs, hauling hay, he hated it all, lol. We are all different, enough said.

Keep your eyes on that one, he looks a little dodgy, might steal the whole farm out from under you!

K Effective · Apr 1, 2020

He's a cute one, for sure. Enjoy your time with him.

It's been made clear to me that I'm the last generation who will be farming here, and I'm slowly coming to grips with that. I guess we want better for our kids, and maybe growing up on the farm and then finding something they love to do elsewhere may be the best thing. It's a real conundrum, isn't it?

(quoted from post at 22:45:35 03/31/20) Well, mine might have been a snide but yours was pretty cutting too I thought. And no, you might think I am but I'm definitely not the smartest guy here on the forum.

I'm definitely not the smartest guy here on the forum".....no Einstein need to see that! Just a "pot stirrer you are!"
