Sounds like a great send off Tony. My father in law passed away a few weeks ago (same age, cancer also). He was a retired police officer and with the police chaplain's assistance a regular church based funeral was arranged. He was an atheist like myself and I couldn't help but think how he would have much preferred something else.

My thoughts, ive lost so many great Mates, i dont do religion, surely we must meet up somewhere. Just how i look at it.

I was talking to a neighbour about Texas Longhorns. He sold two recently and may be parting with some more. They'd keep the grass down, but I'm not sure if I should just stick to slashing it with the Fergie.

The price wasn't as bad as I expected, but their heads won't fit through my cattle crush, cattle yard or loading ramp. The dog would have to calm down or I could see him being a Heeler kebab ! 

Neighbour recons this youngster has the potential to be a big boy...

Keep using the Fergie...it's a great time to let your mind wander where it wants to. Don't often get that opportunity in our busy, modern lives.

Very true.
I was talking to someone about this. There's a similarity to being on my bike. I get left alone, my mind only thinks about what I'm going, it's actually a great escape mentally.

Although there are benifits to having a few cattle, I can't imagine my wife ever wanting to see them in the deep freeze. It's a drama for her when a hen passes away. Rather than a freezer full of meat I'm more likely to end up with the countries oldest cattle and some huge vet bills.
I might as well get her a donkey or alpaca or two!

Had three cows when we had some land. My dad was a butcher and when I said I needed to buy a freezer to put them in he said no, sell them and buy the cuts of meat you enjoy. After you've eaten the steak and roasts you finish up with a mountain of mince and sausages. Father in law was a sheep and beef farmer, I asked him what we should do with the land.  Quick as a flash he said mow it !!
So we did. Like you Tony I enjoyed sitting on a mower mowing it 

Sounds like you're mate had the greatest send off. How grand to have so many friends and family there telling stories and having a laugh, a true celebration of a life well lived.

Stick with the Fergie Tony. Cows are great animals but can cost if they get sick. I had a Jersey called Sally when i was really little, she was a great companion.

Greg I'm a Buddhist and I like to think of something similar to Valhalla for the meeting up process after we pass. Riding every day, beers forever and no hangover.
I don't think I'll ever die in battle lol but reincarnation Buddhism wise means you come back not necessarily in human form.
