Bucking Bales
Bucking Bales 1During the winter, Jack and Jill pull a sled loaded with hay every morning at Picabo Livestock in Idaho.   Bucking Bales 2Lonnie Barg, Picabo Livestock foreman, has been working with teams for the past 15 years.   Bucking Bales 3“I don’t think there’s any better work in the winter than bucking bales,” Barg says.   Bucking Bales 4“It’s good honest work. You hand load all those bales, and it keeps you in good shape.”   Bucking Bales 5Barg (left) and Randy Lundergreen load about 75 bales on the sleigh, then haul it to cattle in the meadow pasture.   Bucking Bales 6The team of Belgian horses handle 5,000 pounds of hay with ease.   Bucking Bales 7Hay grown in the summer feeds Picabo Livestock’s mother cows and stocker calves through the winter.   Bucking Bales 8Picabo Livestock feeds about 2,500 cows and calves each winter.   Bucking Bales 9Even at a young age, ranch dogs take their jobs seriously.   Bucking Bales 10With feeding done, Lundergreen and Barg return to headquarters to begin their workday.
