With fields full of hay bales and a body suffering from two broken ribs and a possibly fractured collar bone, Syd Wand was pretty worried about his hay crop.
Syd, 91, has been working for 29 years on farmland in Tappen alongside his spouse, Jean.
They91裸聊视频檝e had cattle for 25 years, mostly Red Angus. He speaks highly of the animals.
91裸聊视频淚 like them, they91裸聊视频檙e gentle. And if I want them, all I have to do is stand at the gate and whistle, and I get a stampede. They91裸聊视频檙e just a good breed to take care of.91裸聊视频�
Once the hay is cut and baled, Syd and Jean usually move the bales off the fields together. Syd, however, was injured in a recent fall. This time Jean tried dragging the bales herself 91裸聊视频� but it was too much.
Concerned about the chance of a thunderstorm soaking the bales, Syd was at a loss what to do. With 10 head of cattle to feed, hay is a necessity.
91裸聊视频淚 was just sitting there thinking, what in hell do we do next?91裸聊视频�
Then, without warning, help arrived.
He couldn91裸聊视频檛 believe his eyes when, on July 22, pickup trucks, tractors and flat-decks drove up to their place. About eight people got out, ready to work.
In approximately three hours, 248 bales were picked up and moved to the hay shed.
The neighbourly workers even brought beverages and cinnamon buns, so they stayed for a while afterwards to visit.
Asked how all this felt, 91裸聊视频渇antastic91裸聊视频� was Syd91裸聊视频檚 enthusiastic reply.
91裸聊视频淎ll of a sudden people who you don91裸聊视频檛 know pop up,91裸聊视频� he remarked, adding that the work isn91裸聊视频檛 without risk; anytime a person lifts a bale of hay, there91裸聊视频檚 a chance they could hurt their back.
He said the assistance was a wonderful contrast to all the rotten things you hear about in the world.
And the group wouldn91裸聊视频檛 allow him to do anything, which, with his injuries, 91裸聊视频渨as just as well anyway.91裸聊视频�
91裸聊视频淪ome of them didn91裸聊视频檛 know me, I didn91裸聊视频檛 know some of them. They came just out of the goodness of their heart. It was just goodwill on their part 91裸聊视频� because they were good people to begin with. That basically is what it is.91裸聊视频�
He emphasized the whole reason for him telling his story is to express his gratitude for such overwhelming kindness.
91裸聊视频淚t was unbelievable.91裸聊视频�
