Been there!This guy is a rancher and 80 something I guess he is very um how do I put it old school.
Happy to hear you liked working for me.Been there!
I took thier money though. For a while anyways.
A friend working one same farm as I took offense to the old man ragging on him and started raggin back.
It was entertaining watching the two of them get all riled up with the old man waving his cane around offering to show my friend what he was made of....While trying to dismount the tractor he used to follow us around.
Last (3rd) cut of hay we'd ride the stack back to the barn with the old man driving. We'd grab walnuts while passing under the trees and hammer road signs as the tractor was even with them to get the old mans attention.
He either didn't hear them , or ignored them. He could hear though. l.o.l..
More likely didn't want to get hit with a walnut or a barrage of them.
Used to lay irrigation pipe for a polo field on an old farm. Maybe took part in a couple hayings. Been awhile.
Gorgeous setting. And farmhouse well restored including hardwood plank flooring added.
An original small barn for tack for the owners polo hobby.
Stainless hot tub on second level overlooking the river.
Nice.
Great set up and employer.
Gatz of Atwater?I don't know what he is all I know is his name is Don Gatz
It's him lol but there's more to that story it isn't what people think, as much as i don't like the guy there's more to that storyGatz of Atwater?
I'm not saying this is the same guy. But can see he'd be cranky if he was.
60 years of horse trading?
2011 he got pinched.
And the group animal angels has been up his backside ever since.
Premises of Don Gatz, Atwater, CA 2/27/20 | Animals Angels - North America
California horse trader Don Gatz has been buying and selling horses for close to sixty years. Gatz, who operates a cattle & horse feedlot in Atwater, CA, is known to frequent local auctions such as Turlock and Escalon to purchase horses.www.animalsangels.org
I'd take his money. For a while anyways.
There usually is!It's him lol but there's more to that story it isn't what people think, as much as i don't like the guy there's more to that story
The story with the animals was people would abandon animals on his property and he took in one's people neglected to get them healthy again. He got screwed with that. The guy has bad qualities bit he does have good sides. I don't let my dislikes of someone make me have to think everything is bad and attack them on everything in that case there was more to it and I'm willing to put that out thereThere usually is!
Buying stock in rough condition , there's no magic wand to make them look prime very quick.
And bad hooves take time to work into something better too.
(I've gone round over hooves enough. But one gal who had been bragging on her horse care I kicked in the seat of the pants after checking her mounts hooves came back weeks later to show me the improvement..) And you /anyone wouldn't have noticed a problem by looking from any distance. Yet.
At the livestock auction we would check what dad called the "wiener pen".
Sick , injured and dying cattle he said were going to become hotdogs.
I recall one being dragged into it while us kids were frogging around above out of reach of cattle being run in through isles....
Milk cows. Old and played out or worse , "downers" that broke a leg or something Dad would get meat from.
Stink up the kitchen kind of stuff.
Anything of value /fat ect. went into the milk.
One keeled over in a holding pen at milking time at a poor run farm I worked.
A co-worker asked the manager what he wanted him to do about it.
"Milk her!" was the answer. We didn't think it was very funny.
Fair enough.The story with the animals was people would abandon animals on his property and he took in one's people neglected to get them healthy again. He got screwed with that. The guy has bad qualities bit he does have good sides. I don't let my dislikes of someone make me have to think everything is bad and attack them on everything in that case there was more to it and I'm willing to put that out there
