This bird is very quiet, and the male ate grapes from Rose ann’s hand. Breeders have to be careful that they do not domesti cate the birds and get so attached that the birds get the “human imprint” and will not breed. The Reeves pheasant was a beautiful streak of color and hard to photograph. It has the longest tail of any pheasant. One of the interesting collection of rare hens was the one named Mille Fleur (French for “one thousand flow ers”). Also in the collection was an English Crele and a Silver Sebright. 3200 Series Rotory Cutters More Rugged, More Durable And More Versatile 9, ’\oVi or 14 Foot Cutting Widths otfW** Stated f° r Minimum SIISII HOC 40 to 80 HP Tractors Rear Mounted Blades BUSH HOG' V.

Don speaks with pride about his parents’ farm to which his and Roseanne’s home is adjacent. His father, John, is at least the fourth generation of Woodwards on the farm, where they remain semi active. Last year they raised 35 head of Holstein that were sent overseas for breeding purposes.

As it does so, an automatic height adjustment keeps the wings cutting at the same height as the center section. A framing system featuring closed box members allows us to make the 2615 pounds lighter without sacrificing any of the strength you’ve come to expect from a Bush Hog. And, less weight not only means less wear and tear on your tractor but it has also allowed us to cut the price. Why pay more to get less - make Piiflw f aw 1 a Bush Hog's success your success.
