Pop Would probably say back in the 50s " if You owned only a VAC Case Tractor ,, YOU still needed a team in order to pull the tempermental Case when it stalled Hot, and the charging system was crap , so the battery was too . or when ever there was too heavy load coming out of the creek bottom "..Dad traded his worn out SC Case and Bought a used 57 Ferguson Deluxe practically new,,and then the horses went to the sale barn.. i barely remember Nellie and Bill pulling the 4 steel wheeled manure spreader . Mom said they sold to a man at the sale barn on the hill in Corydon, Ind , Thanksgiving 1959, i would had been 3 yrs old,. Funny i Recall ,,Dad Still spinning out with the 35 Ferguson with a load of hay on that hill coming out of the creek,.he would hook a chain to the VAC and that rascal would bounce and pawl, and jump and raise 10 kinda hale coming up out of there ,,but it always came on up out of there a hell'en! //fastF 1967 , the neighbor Cloyd Poindexter and his family moved in below us from Burkesville Ky , Those Folx were real wonderful fire and brimstone country people,. and they had a mule named" RED " ,..Dad luved that mule,. he did most anything with voice command from a deep throated adult male ,.When us peep sqeaks got behind him cultivating , we thought we were commanding Red , But he was just doing what he was taught and used to doing ,..and He would not quit til the patch was done,. He was amazing ,, at leisure in the pasture if that mule heard his name in comment from us kids ,he would Bob his head and wiggle a bit like he was proud to be mentioned , The world and people today ,has no clue of the wonderful world of love and respect and work that occurred in those days between a God fearing man and his team .Cloyd Poindexter , His owner and trainer would break a ear of corn and whistle and call Red after milking,,and Red would come trotting up to see what Cloyd needed him to do and eat that ear of corn , He would do his very best every time ,Dad always had about 5-10 acres of garden row crops . and Cloyd and Dad hit it off from the beginning, and So we got to "Borrow " Red for perhaps 2 seasons,working potatos, tobacco ,Tomatoes , sweet corn and cantaloupes . Then, Cloyd lent him to his cousin one winter for logging back in the hills at Burkesville and Red got lokjaw from a nail injury
