So I bought a Raven2 knife so I could keep my PM2 Dark Blue "Burple" S110V nice, since I like it so much. It was my 1st spydie so my Raven2 is my 2nd spydie. Been holding up to all kinds of chores on the farm, fishing and everything else. Here's a pick of it working, and some of our new little guys on the farm. Bro went on vacation for a week to Kublicana, Domincan Republic:cool:; so I've been in charge of the farm for a week. The grey calf, and one of the black calves were born just since Tuesday this last week! All happy and healthy! :)

He's a black angus calf; so Him being "Mouse" grey is very rare. He is super shy, and makes me walk the hilly pastures at least twice looking for him. Boy does he blend in!

Here's some of the other little calves; currently tiny, and growing stronger and bigger with a little help from Spyderco! :D


Miniature Red Female calf... Bro named her "Mushroom" for some reason???

Yes, I've spent about a bunch of hours this week cleaning up where these pictures was taken, and making sure they had brand new big round bales put out to eat on. Also got rid of that netting laying around.

My neck still hurts from front flipping the bobcat :O ( bucket too high with load and backing up n hit bump going backwards up hill)....okay but jammed my neck.
 
Cool pics, thanks.

The Raven 2 looks like a great design. I've thought about picking up one of those or a g10 Meadowlark, but already have a ton of Spydies and gravite more towards ambi designs as a lefty, so I haven't taken the plunge yet.
 
Thanks for posting this. It makes me envious of where you live, maybe not the hard work though ;)

The Raven 2 you can flip the clip to 4 total different positions! 2 on each side for whatever your preference is.

He is sooooo cute in person. Very shy like a mouse too, I think the name fits him perfectly!

A little hard work never killed anyone. If it doesn't kill you, it only makes you stronger! :P
 
Cool pics man. I used to milk 100+ head of Holstein twice a day and we had a pasture full of Hereford behind the house. Some of those pics look mighty familiar. :)

Her '3rd eye' is showing. Some say that you can garner access to your third eye by way of psilocybin mushrooms. Do you know where they often grow? ;)

8 stalls. Two of us could run em through in about 2 1/2 hours. Then all the cleanup, bottle feeding, insemination, calf pulling and other BS. I decided early I did NOT want to be a farmer!! hahaha
 
1. Mushrooms do grow in cow poop and they are not for the faint of heart
2. You should name the cow with one white foot "Michael Jackson" or "Thriller" maybe?!?
3. Cool pics and thanks for sharing. I worked on a peanut/cattle farm in south Alabama in 1990 as a 16 year old and man you guys work hard. I rank throwing hay bales and digging miles of fence posts with no shade in the summer as work we should reserve for life sentenced inmates!! Many thanks to our nations farmers

What you mean by that??
 
Nice pictures, nice place and nice Spyderco!

I had some acreage a couple decades ago and let a neighbor run about 25 head of cattle on it.
I learned a lot about pecking order of cows and about babysitter cows by just sitting back and watching them.
They seemed to have a different baby sitter cow watching over all the calves each day while the other cows were feeding.

These pictures make me wish I still had that place....thanks! :)
