What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

On the way home yesterday, we stopped at a Menonite farmer's nursery and the wife picked up a slew of perennials so, she'll be planting flowers all day while I'm watching "Midsomer Murders". I'll have this Case Sod Buster Jr. in my pocket so as to be in solidarity with her while she's performing her gardening tasks. Now don't be judgmental - I cut the grass on our riding lawn mower but that's it as far as the yard and plants go.

Sentimental favorites~ Siberian Iris. Brought a sackfull of tubers to this house thirty something years ago from Grandma’s place. She’d had them untold years, through three different locations. Just like the Bearded Iris in my first picture, I have them scattered all over the property. Three different perennial borders/gardens, and naturalized in the edges of the woods, and in the wildflowers. Everywhere I stick them, they seem to thrive and multiply.View attachment 1570318Wild buttercups that inadvertently came along with some Norway Maples I dug out of the ditch at a family place in Wisconsin.

Oh. Were we talking about knives? #23 Oregon Trapper which nails both Trapper Tuesday, and Tidiute Tuesday.
And a Camillus TL-29 I rehandled in cow bone.

Nice pair and thanks for the story on the flowers !
 
As the spring feed dries up we try to move everything to irrigated pasture to keep the calves growing. They are mostly Angus cattle. Sometimes we will mix in another breed to give them more heterosis. Years ago we used some Hereford bulls (they are red w/ white faces) which is where the black white-face cows come from. We currently have some Simmental/Angus bulls that we are using along with Angus bulls. We used to have a few longhorns around also, just because they looked cool, not for cross breeding.

Another picture from the other day for knife content:

Great picture!:thumbsup:
First thing I noticed in your picture the other day was your “baldy” cattle, as we call them.
