I think she had hardware disease Butch. A cow eats little bits of metal and sometimes the metal perforates the gut. Typically they turn septic and go down hill really fast.
We could have forced a little magnet down her and tried to save her, but that usually does not work. Best to just stop the suffering.
Went to the big town to the south west again today. 140 miles from my place, but thats where all the parts are. Got some more Cat parts, air seeder parts, some 1.25 stress proof for making some pins, and some stuff for my lathe. My new plasma cutter came today too. A Hypertherm 45xp. Pretty excited to try it out tomorrow on my project.
Doing a lot of work on the air seeder. Bunch of bushings and pins are worn out. I have been welding up the pins and turning them down.....screw the parts man out of 60 bucks a pop.
Some of the brackets are worn out, so I will cut out larger holes and weld in bushings. I will part off 1/2 lengths of 2 in cold rolled and then bore them out to 1.25.
I might try to get some pictures tomorrow.
