360 pounds +/- about 120 pounds each, 65 lbs of burger, the rest steaks & roasts Guessing a 3 year old bull. Small & tender ( split 3 ways)
Nice haul! I almost always cut alone as well. Occasionally family comes with but I enjoy the solitude. I didnt get into any birch this year unfortunately, maybe next year.
Thanks Oh yea It was 22° when I got to the cutting area this AM. Couple days off, slow leak on trailer tire, Go thru clean/maintenance on stuff. Road was frozen going in then thawed, a muddy , slick mess on the way out. Was told there's some stuff higher on the "honey do" list
Ive been getting that to so Im planning a mix of honey do stuff while plotting my next cutting day before the weather hits. I did the gutters and next is the Christmas lights and then play time!
Some nice looking stuff great work. Looks like some straight grain . Sure will make splitting easier..
As usual bogydave ... love the pics of your always steady farwoodin' activity. As others have noticed... I really like your trailer set-up too. Very nice!
I take my wood supply for granted I guess, all of it is close (5 miles or less). Not sure I would trust my old pickup for hauling wood 35 miles.
I'm very glad you found a new spot thats paying off, I was beginning to panic that we wouldn't get any processing pics from you this fall!! I'm gonna steal some pics from this post for our Facebook page!!
Nice work Dave. Good to take a couple days for maintenance and other things. Gives the muscles a little rest too. Then you can go at it again.
Takes a few minutes to loosen up & walk straight Needed a day or 2 to work out the kinks after 3 days of cutting Hope the weather holds, snow forecast for Sunday
Think I was tired when I figured the truck gas, was $35 for 2 round trips Did one round trip, $15 for gas, & was $2.48/gallon Brings my cost way down,
That sounds better on the fuel cost Dave. You can keep the snow for a while yet. We'll be ready for it in another month. Chilly now with frost predicted (34 degrees) then warming up again.
