I hope Ben could eventually end up owning a funeral home because they are very few people on this planet who have this type of calling. He’s special and a blessing to all.
I agree 100%. I have a calling as well. It does take a certain type of person to do any of this type of care. Whether it's for caring in the end stages or the after part of it. Ben is amazing and will go far!
Mt mother use to sat and she owned a flower shop...everyone has to die and it's a certainty...so he will always have business no matter where he goes....
Twenty five dollars an hour is a blessing. I truly believe Jake learned many skills from you Lester. There were videos where you worked along side Jake, particularly mentoring him with fencebuilding and other carpentry work. He learned organization skills, a strong work ethic, and a deep love for and understanding animal behavior. He's also, like you Lester, in that he's his own man. Look at how far Jake has come. He is so much like you. I mean that as a high compliment. Jake pays it forward, with Bennett. He works along side Ben, teaching him and encouraging him to learn new skills. You are building a legacy Lester. I have the utmost respect and admiration for you. I mean that from the bottom of my heart. Stay blessed 🕊️🕊️🕊️
So well said & 100% the truth, Nancy! 👍🏻👍🏻 The mentoring Jake got & Ben as well is priceless. $25 bucks an hour is a very GOOD wage…especially considering the wealth of knowledge Ben & Jake attained.
People also forget that Ben helping you, Jake, or Pawpaw, he’s learning a lot of different things that will benefit him in his life. He will know how to do so much more then he would if he never did any of this. ❤
Are you serious? People who follow you should never accuse you of fabricating such rubbish! Your content is so genuine & you are such beautiful souls. Keep being you, we love you two. xx
Yes. 25$ an hour is good money. My son was doing construction in TX for 10$ an hour. Ben is lucky and he does a good job.. so Lester is lucky to have him help. Christmas has loved Lester ever since she had her puppies. He is her person.
Gosh, how do you two keep your sanity with all of the hate and shade thrown your way?? I am so tired of people being hyper critical and just plain mean and it isn't even directed at me! After watching your live today I want to tell you guys something, if you are here in 5 years or ten years and I am as well, I will still be watching. I already have been with you for 4. I watch 95% percent of video's and watch to the end. I love longer video's, I have loved the ostriches from day one, they bring me a lot of joy. I LOVE any horse video. We ALL make mistakes and one of mine may soon be yelling at the meanies,lol.
@@tammylemoine3019 me too. Hard to raise a family on less than that. I'm in Washington. Raised two sons with a mortgage, had 2 jobs and my dead beat husband stayed home with the kids, untill I got home, then he would take off drinking with his friends. Divorced his a$$, Continued to raise my kids, saw them graduate college, now they are grown and gone. I am proud of what I did but understand.😃
Lester, Ben is a kindhearted soul, hard worker, and he loves his family. He is there, willing to help out. He is a good man!! 👍 I know you love him and would do anything for your kids, your niece & nephews, your siblings, and your parents. You are an awesome guy! 👍❤️ Have a bless evening! ❤
I just adore the beautiful longhorns. The communication that you share with Tex is just amazing. You really seem to understand one another. I love that. Everything looks great. Good job Ben!
Lester, I’m a union member and I don’t make $25 an hour in the medical field.😂 Something tells me, I’ll bet you could get rotational volunteer work every weekend (😉😉) and it wouldn’t cost you anything but time with all the babies!❤ I really love how now that Jake has Lyssa and his own farm, Ben has taken the role of all around helpful grandson/nephew/cousin. Such an amazing young man.🥰
I think he had a lady that just to see the animals and claimed one of the animals did something that she sued him. Can't remember the story, that is why he had to stop letting people come to the sanctuary, so can you imagine how much his insurance would cost him to cover volunteers to be on his property.
@@suegulley3205 yes they did Sue. I know the story. I’m only being light hearted about the situation. How we all wish we could go spend time with Lester, Jami and all the babies, that we would do it for free!❤️
Have you considered just putting a gate where you have the tractor parked? That way you can just open it to put a roll of hay in and then just close the gate?
Ben is a good kid. (Except when he shoots off fireworks on the hill) Lester, your hourly pay is very generous and please don’t let anyone convince you otherwise. 😘😘😘😘❤
Just a suggestion Lester, perhaps a steel gate where you put out your hay would work. Swing it open, put a bale in then Swing it back so there is no way the cattle can get out.
Lester I am a big fan, been watching your channel religiously for years. I was very exited when you finally released merchandise. I told all my family that all I wanted for Christmas was an ima survivor t-shirt. I was very disappointed to find out that you didn't deliver to Canada. Can you please sell merchandise to Canada. I'm a single 50 year old woman. I live with my 5 dogs and hope to retire on a hobby farm. I watch your videos every night while cuddling with my dogs. You really make my day make me happy and feel like I'm part of your family. Please make your t-shirt available to me in Canada.
I would work for $25 an hour in a heartbeat. That is extremely good money. It's outdoors, no taxes, fun , you get to be with family and so on.........I would so enjoy working for you, Lester. Don't let those PPATS bother you. I love all the channels that you and Jami had a part in starting. Thanks we love you all.❤❤❤❤❤❤
I have said this on Jami and your page about the hay get away spot. Get a gate that can swing and hook to fence while you add hay or clean out that area. Then when hay is added swing gate back in place to keep Tex in.
That's an excellent & generous wage for Ben.. good for you! It's nearly double what many hired hands or handy men would earn in many states, including this Midwest state I'm in. Been does great work & thorough work... taught well by his dear parents. Ben is such a great young man, & I'm enjoying all of his videos also. 😊👏
Ben is a blessing! Having such a conscientious, hard worker who can be available for regular or random tasks is invaluable. Having one as pleasant, willing, and sweet is the best! ❤ I wish him the best in life and that his dreams come true. He is very deserving. Another fine member of the Morrow clan.
Lord apparently those people don’t know you and Jami as well as the majority of us bc it being staged never even crossed my mind 🤦🏼♀️😂 and to Ben, everyone has their thing, don’t be embarrassed bc you liked your job there. I’ve spent 21 years caring for the old and dying and I’ll probably do it another 20. I love it and it’s HARD but it’s rewarding being there for people who need you and are grieving. ❤ you’re a good guy Ben
25 an hour is a wonderful wage for a young adult. More benefits to that than just the hourly pay. It’s sad that one who makes close to double that can’t afford an apartment in some parts of the country. Keep doing what you’re doing. That’s how family should be and you clearly understand that. Great role model!
Hi Lester, just a thought, what about putting a gate up where the tractor is standing to keep Tex in, at least you would be able to open the gate to put hay in and keep Tex in his paddock. Just a thought.
People thought that car was Ben's? Wow, that's crazy!! I think having Ben work around LL, ISS, and maybe eventually the new place is great! Family helping family. Doesn't get better than that!
Lester, you need to recreate that hay feeder using galvanized fence poles. The poles come in long lengths, but they can be cut to the size of that space you have in the wood now. They have corner fittings for making chainlink gates, use them to make 2U shaped barriers, 1high and 1lower, then they have fittings for connecting the poles to the end post(these are bigger and stronger and concreted into the ground). A tractor supply or Jacobs or home depot should have all the poles,post, and the fittings for the corner connections and the end caps to bolt the U shaped poles to the end post, they should also have the metal cement glue to glue all the corner and end fittings on the poles. Once you have the big end poles concreted in the ground,either right inside or outside where your wood post are now,there are round fittings you will need around your end post,4 in all, 1high and 1low for your 2U shaped barries, those can be bolted on to the fitting on each end of your U barrier. If I can figure out how to do it ill try to draw it out, on my tablet or computer and send it to you later. I don't think Tex can break through galvanized poles, as long as the corners and end caps are glued and bolted together. If you make it and he tries to push the poles up or down, you can always add another concreted in support post in the Middle of the front of the U shaped and band it to keep the high and low poles spaced where you want them, or weld them to a center support pole
$25 an hour is good money❤I would do ANYTHING you wanted for $25 an hour😂😂😂and he gets to pick his own hours...Lester you and Jami are good people for helping people out by letting them work for you❤❤
Hey Lester, Could you put a bull strength gate across spot your blocking with your tracker? That way you can open it to put your hay roll and lock it up when your done...
The car that was at the ranch had four door and Ben's car is a one door. So that is not the same car 🚗. People should pay better attention.. Ben is such a great guy and a hard worker. God bless Ben and you for all that you do to help each other 🙏🙏🙏
Hi Lester!! I was just thinking of how u could stop Tex from coming out, where his Hay Bale is. Why don't u put a Gate there. That will stop him from coming out, & u can still put a Bale in there. Luv your Videos. From Melbourne Australia 🇦🇺
I have a grandson working at Target. Started at 16 an hour. When you consider that rent averages about 1500 a month for a 1 bedroom apartment ( in Denver)….thank goodness he still lives with Mom and Dad!! It all depends on the cost of living where you live. I remember when we just started out , I thought making 20,000 a year would have us set for life! I think you are paying your part time help very well!
I think it's great that you've got the extra help to do these things. I think your nephews have a lot of respect for their Uncle Wester. You've got a wonderful family, Lester! ❤️ Thanks for another great video! Jo in Michigan 🌊❤️
I’m in NH and i certainly do not make near $25 bucks an hour! It’s more physical but you get to hang out with the babies and learn things! I would shovel poop all day for $25 😂 as long as I get to hang out with Tex and the whacky pack during lunch 😊
Maybe you could use a gate on the feed station, that might discourage the livestock from trying to escape. Easy open the gate place the roll of hay into the station then shut the gate to keep them in
Plus, what job let's you pretty much pick and choose if you want to work or not, And have fun with your boss, He and Jake seem to have lots of fun while working together and You and Ben have a great time also❤ Ben's a God send for sure❣️❣️❣️
I was never even close to being paid 25 an hour. That is very good pay and Ben likes his jobs and pay. Ben did a wonderful job cleaning your truck. He showed us before and after picture, lol. He does do his jobs very well. ❤.
What about replacing the wood with a steel pipe fence around the current hay feeder. I am referring to the type of fence that Dusty Baker (Daniel Arms brother-in-law) has for his bison.
i understand Ben, yea its ok, that work he did with the home he could use as a bonus on his cv not saying he cant use his work on the sanctuary but.........he makes more, he is being helpful to family and making more. he is a hard working young man. thanks to Uncle Lester he gave Ben opportunity to make more and work. all the little bit of help you can get gives you more time for yourself,
Hello there!! What about putting a swing gate on your fence? You can open it when you need to give them hay, and then latch it shut when finished. $25.00 an hour is good money.
In cities, salaries are higher due to the higher cost of living. Buying a house up north is much more expensive than in the southern states, and that's why many northerners are looking to move south.
Lester I believe you if you said it’s not Ben’s car I believe you please don’t listen to the haters and the trolls they feed on it. You have an amazing channel. Amazing family. Keep doing exactly what you’re doing. Love you and Jamie.
Hey, how about putting up a gate where you put the hay bale in? Or half of one on each side of the gap so you can lock them together in the middle? (Does that make sense?) - just a thought. Maybe a gate that is custom-made to suit how you would need it to function.
I am a Manager at a restaurant. I do not make $25 an hour. I feel like you are paying the people who work for you very well. And if they are not happy with $25/hr, they wouldn't be there doing the work. You guys are amazing.
Put a gate across the hay feeder area! It will be easy to open if you hang it right it will open flat to the fence so it's not going to make it any more difficult to access to change out the hay!
Hey Lester 👋, could you put a gate on the fence that just swings open where you feed the longhorns hay? You could open to put bale in and close after so they stay in. Probably only one bale will fit though. Only problem would be if they scaled the gate with the hay. Not sure if they would but I wouldn’t put anything past them. Tex reminds me of my kids, it’s not IF they will do it, it’s WHEN they will do it. 🤦♀️
Lester, I totally understand what you said about how much you pay Ben. One other reason that I realized about how much you can pay him, is the fact that you don't have 50 or more people that you also have to pay, like most businesses do. To be totally honest, I would love to earn $25 an hour. But, since I work in retail, in order for me to earn that much - the cost of things that people buy, would have to go up - and things are still expensive as it is. You also have a quality worker in Ben - he really does earn what you pay him. There are far too many people that expect to get paid for work that is not quality work. I don't earn what Ben is making right now, BUT I'm blessed to be making what I am getting right now. People should realize how lucky they are to be earning what they are, because there are other places around the world that can't afford to pay their workers what most of us get now. Great Edutainment video & Ben did a wonderful job BTW 😊! Take care and have a gr-8 night 🌙!
Would a gate work at the longhorn hay spot!? None of our business how much you pay your workers!!! We need to moob!! Be thankful we have videos watch! I would do it for free!! My pay would be loving the animals!! Thank you Lester! Ben, great work, love you too!!❤❤❤😊
Ben is such a hard worker. Jake pulls some sneaky underhanded on him and yet Ben still does work for him. Ben doesn't have to have a babysitter watching his every move. Lester you have been so good to all your nephehs and Bri. ❤❤❤
Ben does a great job and it sounds like a good paying job. Christmas is really crazy about her Daddy. Tex will inhale all of his feed and then his lady friend’s. ❤
Oh my. I think that young people today don't want to get their hands or clothes dirty no matter what they are paid. Glad Ben can be your help and that you can trust him.
Here in Huntsville, AL we get paid $15-$20. So I think $25 is more than fair. Those who thought Lester would ever stage anything doesn’t follow the channel or know him well. He is talented, creative and will never run out of content ❤❤❤❤.
LOL...I have noticed in other videos and in this one and i find it so funny how Chrissy in particular in this one was eating grass with the cows and in other ones the dogs are foraging (or at least they sure appear to be) with the goats😂
$25 an hour would result in double what I get paid where I am at now and the thought of just being around animals all day sound like heaven. As far as Ben's car looking like the abandoned one if anyone were to look closely at the videos they would see the tags are completely different.
Having the tractor parked where it is could become Iconic. I say, just build a cover over it and call it a day. It will become Soooo Longhorn Lesterish
Hey Lester. Just a suggestion. Where you put the round bale of hay, why not put a Gate there? You can open gate, drop bale, close gate and cows can't get out? I know your thoughts were this would be easier as there would be no having to get down off tractor and open a gate but as we all know, things never work the way we want them too, especially with farming!! Looks great there!! Love all the survivor videos too.
Lester what you pay Ben is really fair, and as long as who ever is working for you are happy with that, then it's not anyone else's business. Your an all round good fella Lester, and I'll not let anyone think different about you. 🏴♥️
Lester $25 per hour is totally fair! I make $22 per hour and that's in healthcare. So I would be happy being a Ranch hand for that $! Love Ben and so glad he is able to help!!❤️💯
Lester I come work for you at that rate.I work for a local municipality and have not had a raise since 2009. And I work for parks and recreation for 6 months and get laid off for 6 months. I have been about 13 beach accesseshave to clen the beach trim back brush from walkways,blow sand off sidewalk, plus pull trash twice a day sometimes 3 times in summer and weedwack by my self. Sometimes I get call off of that and have to mow parksand playing fields as well.
I seen a difference between Ben’s and the other ca. it was a white antenna on the other car. Put a gate where the tractor is. Open it when you put hay it then close it when done.
Lester for $25 an hour, I'd be the most poop scoopin, hay throwing, feed spreading, employee you ever had!! 😂😂😂
So would my son!
Your right me too😂
So would I, and I'm allergic to hay. I'd still do it!😂
Shoot I’m a janitor so I can clean some poop for $25 an hour lol😂
A lot of us would
I hope Ben could eventually end up owning a funeral home because they are very few people on this planet who have this type of calling. He’s special and a blessing to all.

Huh? Why ?
A gate. To keep them in I could see one of them driving off with that tractor.😅
YES He is a very Naturally Dignified Person who has all the Necessary Atributes for such a Role. God bless him.

Ben is a lucky guy to have such a wonderful uncle. And Lester is lucky to have all that loving from Christmas.
Thank you Mary. That was kind of you to say.
Maybe put a gate on that spot where you feed Tex and his crew.
Having Ben blesses both of you, Ben with money and you with more time to do the things that need your expertise!👏👏👍🇦🇺
Absolutely.
Lester you work very hard, best to delicate those mundane jobs that do not need your personal attention. Enjoy your video content. ❤️👍
Thanks. I’m glad you enjoy my content Linda.
Ben is a very sweet person. I wish him well in life. But, Lester you are a amazing Uncle, kind and giving. A very Lestery Family man.
J and L ranch will be just as beautiful as ISS and LHL. When you all get it done.❤
Hi Lester!!
I was just thinking of how u could stop Tex from coming out, where his Hay Bale is.
Why don't u put a Gate there.
That will stop him from coming out, & u can still put a Bale in there.
Luv your Videos.

Good thinking. I thought this too.
I think you are just trying to help Ben with his school and his needs. Ben is a good helper. I think you are a blessing to him. 💗💗💗💗💗
I love how Christmas has become so liven with laster wow this dog so so adorable ❤
She’s a sweetheart
The tractor parked behind the hay roll definitely is Longhorn Lesterish.😂😂😂😂❤
I said the same. 😂
Good farmers are creative!! Like you are with your tractor!! Good advertising for the tractor!! Good and strong for anything TEXAS
Yep sounds great to me Lester! Ben is happy, Jake happily learned to manage the farm and go on and upgrade his home & become a future husband.♥️
I have a grandson working at Target. Started at 16 an hour. When you consider that rent averages about 1500 a month for a 1 bedroom apartment ( in Denver)….thank goodness he still lives with Mom and Dad!! It all depends on the cost of living where you live. I remember when we just started out , I thought making 20,000 a year would have us set for life! I think you are paying your part time help very well!
Thanks Amy.
I think it's great that you've got the extra help to do these things. I think your nephews have a lot of respect for their Uncle Wester. You've got a wonderful family, Lester! ❤️ Thanks for another great video!
Jo in Michigan 🌊❤️
✋️ Hi Ben, he looks happy to me doing work for Lester 😊 And getting paid more than at His other jobs. 😊
In VA most starting pay at retail is $14 an hour. I can’t believe anyone would say $25 is not good pay. They must have been raised entitled!!
That is definitely good money!! I would have loved to have that opportunity. He does different things. Works with everyone.
I’m in NH and i certainly do not make near $25 bucks an hour! It’s more physical but you get to hang out with the babies and learn things! I would shovel poop all day for $25 😂 as long as I get to hang out with Tex and the whacky pack during lunch 😊
Maybe you could use a gate on the feed station, that might discourage the livestock from trying to escape. Easy open the gate place the roll of hay into the station then shut the gate to keep them in
I appreciate you letting the younger college, teens work for you. You pay fairly and don’t listen to those p-pats. ❤❤❤❤❤
Absolutely Linda.
Plus, what job let's you pretty much pick and choose if you want to work or not, And have fun with your boss, He and Jake seem to have lots of fun while working together and You and Ben have a great time also❤ Ben's a God send for sure❣️❣️❣️
Good for Ben! He's a hard worker from what all the families post. I especially love how he helps out Pawpaw and GiGi. ❤
I was never even close to being paid 25 an hour. That is very good pay and Ben likes his jobs and pay. Ben did a wonderful job cleaning your truck. He showed us before and after picture, lol. He does do his jobs very well. ❤.
Yes he does, Thanks for watching Suzann.
What about replacing the wood with a steel pipe fence around the current hay feeder. I am referring to the type of fence that Dusty Baker (Daniel Arms brother-in-law) has for his bison.
Lester that's way more than fair pay, my goodness! You're a very generous boss!
I try, Thanks Donna.
Chrissy is such a daddy's girl! So sweet. Of course, all your animals are sweet!
Yes they are ❤
i understand Ben, yea its ok, that work he did with the home he could use as a bonus on his cv not saying he cant use his work on the sanctuary but.........he makes more, he is being helpful to family and making more. he is a hard working young man. thanks to Uncle Lester he gave Ben opportunity to make more and work. all the little bit of help you can get gives you more time for yourself,
Hello there!!
What about putting a swing gate on your fence? You can open it when you need to give them hay, and then latch it shut when finished.
$25.00 an hour is good money.
SAID IT WEEKS AGO, EITHER HE WILL DO ITOR HE HAS ANOTHER IDEA LOL
OOps sorrynot shouting
@@jessgunn6639
I didn’t see your post. Just popped into my head. :)
I didn’t think you were shouting. If your like me it’s easier to read. Haha
i tend to have caps lock on automatically cos the cat keeps hiding my glasses lol@@jamiemc70
In cities, salaries are higher due to the higher cost of living. Buying a house up north is much more expensive than in the southern states, and that's why many northerners are looking to move south.
Lester I believe you if you said it’s not Ben’s car I believe you please don’t listen to the haters and the trolls they feed on it. You have an amazing channel. Amazing family. Keep doing exactly what you’re doing. Love you and Jamie.
Dear Ben. You will be good at whatever you do.
Hey, how about putting up a gate where you put the hay bale in? Or half of one on each side of the gap so you can lock them together in the middle? (Does that make sense?) - just a thought. Maybe a gate that is custom-made to suit how you would need it to function.
I am a Manager at a restaurant. I do not make $25 an hour. I feel like you are paying the people who work for you very well. And if they are not happy with $25/hr, they wouldn't be there doing the work. You guys are amazing.
Christmas would get along great with my puppy Cocoa. ❤❤ She’s so sweet.
Put a gate across the hay feeder area! It will be easy to open if you hang it right it will open flat to the fence so it's not going to make it any more difficult to access to change out the hay!
Hey Lester 👋, could you put a gate on the fence that just swings open where you feed the longhorns hay? You could open to put bale in and close after so they stay in. Probably only one bale will fit though. Only problem would be if they scaled the gate with the hay. Not sure if they would but I wouldn’t put anything past them. Tex reminds me of my kids, it’s not IF they will do it, it’s WHEN they will do it. 🤦♀️
Lester, I totally understand what you said about how much you pay Ben. One other reason that I realized about how much you can pay him, is the fact that you don't have 50 or more people that you also have to pay, like most businesses do. To be totally honest, I would love to earn $25 an hour. But, since I work in retail, in order for me to earn that much - the cost of things that people buy, would have to go up - and things are still expensive as it is. You also have a quality worker in Ben - he really does earn what you pay him. There are far too many people that expect to get paid for work that is not quality work. I don't earn what Ben is making right now, BUT I'm blessed to be making what I am getting right now. People should realize how lucky they are to be earning what they are, because there are other places around the world that can't afford to pay their workers what most of us get now. Great Edutainment video & Ben did a wonderful job BTW 😊! Take care and have a gr-8 night 🌙!
Ben is a awesome worker, and well worth the money that he earns! Plus I bet it give him something to do w/ himself!😊😊😊
Would a gate work at the longhorn hay spot!? None of our business how much you pay your workers!!! We need to moob!! Be thankful we have videos watch! I would do it for free!! My pay would be loving the animals!! Thank you Lester! Ben, great work, love you too!!❤❤❤😊
It takes special people to work with people in grief. Way to be Bennett
Ben is such a hard worker. Jake pulls some sneaky underhanded on him and yet Ben still does work for him. Ben doesn't have to have a babysitter watching his every move. Lester you have been so good to all your nephehs and Bri. ❤❤❤
Who in the world can gripe about 25 dollars an hour!?!? 😂😂. I wonder what that person makes?? Love your channel!!😊❤
Ben does a great job and it sounds like a good paying job. Christmas is really crazy about her Daddy. Tex will inhale all of his feed and then his lady friend’s. ❤
Oh my. I think that young people today don't want to get their hands or clothes dirty no matter what they are paid. Glad Ben can be your help and that you can trust him.
Lester, put a bull gate at the hay rack. Then you can open it to put the hay in, but have no escapes.
Here in Huntsville, AL we get paid $15-$20. So I think $25 is more than fair. Those who thought Lester would ever stage anything doesn’t follow the channel or know him well. He is talented, creative and will never run out of content ❤❤❤❤.
Lester, maybe you can put a bull gate where the hay roll is??🤔 Im sure you'll find way🙂
LOL...I have noticed in other videos and in this one and i find it so funny how Chrissy in particular in this one was eating grass with the cows and in other ones the dogs are foraging (or at least they sure appear to be) with the goats😂
$25 an hour would result in double what I get paid where I am at now and the thought of just being around animals all day sound like heaven. As far as Ben's car looking like the abandoned one if anyone were to look closely at the videos they would see the tags are completely different.
Having the tractor parked where it is could become Iconic. I say, just build a cover over it and call it a day. It will become Soooo Longhorn Lesterish
I have a house cleaning business and that’s exactly what I charge! That’s a great price!
Hey Lester. Just a suggestion. Where you put the round bale of hay, why not put a Gate there? You can open gate, drop bale, close gate and cows can't get out? I know your thoughts were this would be easier as there would be no having to get down off tractor and open a gate but as we all know, things never work the way we want them too, especially with farming!! Looks great there!! Love all the survivor videos too.
Lester what you pay Ben is really fair, and as long as who ever is working for you are happy with that, then it's not anyone else's business.
Your an all round good fella Lester, and I'll not let anyone think different about you. 🏴♥️
Poor Ben!!! I can’t imagine how much dog hair is in the back! Lol
Lester $25 per hour is totally fair! I make $22 per hour and that's in healthcare. So I would be happy being a Ranch hand for that $! Love Ben and so glad he is able to help!!❤️💯
Lester I come work for you at that rate.I work for a local municipality and have not had a raise since 2009. And I work for parks and recreation for 6 months and get laid off for 6 months. I have been about 13 beach accesseshave to clen the beach trim back brush from walkways,blow sand off sidewalk, plus pull trash twice a day sometimes 3 times in summer and weedwack by my self. Sometimes I get call off of that and have to mow parksand playing fields as well.
Count me in being there with your loving ❤ your tractor. 😊
I seen a difference between Ben’s and the other ca. it was a white antenna on the other car.
Put a gate where the tractor is. Open it when you put hay it then close it when done.
Yes $25 an hour is a lot of money! That’s very generous. 👍
