[QUOTE="borderterribles, post: 7861499, member: 691"] That storm is etched in my memory too. I had started milking on a rented farm that Spring with fresh cows, buying a few more soon after . When the storm hit in early December, we lost power for three days,and had no way of milking the cows. Just what you need with mainly stale cows. Not :( After missing two milkings, we walked them through snowdrifts to next doors ,where they had rigged up a slurry tanker to the abreast parlour. Being unused to it , non of the ungrateful b#ggers would let their milk down:(. Finally ,I got going with an old vacuum pump being driven by a bale elevator engine ( still on the elevator) and a coil of water pipe to a vacuum bucket. Most annoying part of all this was that on the list of ingoings was an absolute dogs ballcocks of a generator ,in its own block built housing, but the old fecker had sold it prior to me moving in, and being a new entrant, I had other financial priorities. I told the outgoers agent where they could shove the generator shed when they asked why I wouldn't pay for it, too.:D [/QUOTE]
