My dad used horses up until 1948 when he retired the old guys . They gradually all died. It was a hard time for us kids to view our old friends being buried. Dad had farmed with horses since 1932 when he rented our cousins 50 acres and found out real quick that those Kentucky hill sides would no support his small family so he thru Aunts and Uncles in southern ILL found a farm which was large enough for a small dairy herd,hogs,chickens and crops to support the teams and all the livestock and leave some grain to sell for cash money. He kept after it until in 1981 when he died he left a sizable estate. The tax man thought it was sizable any way. The picture shows him getting corn ground ready on our farm in northern Ill. Now bear in mind that he had 3 Olivers in the shed at the house in the back ground. One old Hart Parr on steel ,a Hart Parr 70 and a Oliver 80.The other picture is of him bringing milk from the daily milking to the house for us kids to drink and a small can of grain and milk for his chicken flock.. I don't remember him ever drinking milk,only black coffee and Mogen David Wine.Jh
