00:33:42.685 --> 00:33:45.063
this was one big cement floor and

00:33:45.438 --> 00:33:47.524
put sawdust down, then in the mornin sweep it up

00:33:47.524 --> 00:33:49.150
put fresh sawdust down, and...

00:33:50.652 --> 00:33:52.612
have pens, y'know. Oh boy.

00:33:53.321 --> 00:33:57.242
It'd be so much more efficient, easier on the cattle easier on us.

00:33:58.701 --> 00:34:00.078
We'd have more time drink coffee.

00:34:23.560 --> 00:34:25.186
Ahh! I gotta get a bottle.

00:34:38.408 --> 00:34:40.285
This would be lights, it would be bright,

00:34:40.285 --> 00:34:42.745
there'd be hot water, this would be a pan over here,

00:34:42.954 --> 00:34:44.080
with the calves here.

00:34:44.330 --> 00:34:47.625
This walk in would be when we bring the babies from their mommy's

00:34:47.625 --> 00:34:48.960
would be in the first pen there.

00:34:49.502 --> 00:34:52.964
Then put them in and we'll just rotate them pens and then...

00:34:53.381 --> 00:34:55.550
off to the other barn when they get bigger.

00:34:58.052 --> 00:34:59.929
Oh, we may have few dogs out in the other barn.

00:35:06.978 --> 00:35:08.563
JOANN
So this time it was...

00:35:09.606 --> 00:35:10.773
–so...Holy Toledo.

00:35:11.065 --> 00:35:14.694

00:35:15.904 --> 00:35:17.155
–Wow.

00:35:17.697 --> 00:35:20.783
–Boy, if you could get these milk numbers up, Doug, you could

00:35:20.783 --> 00:35:22.368
–like you've been telling me, you could be

00:35:22.368 --> 00:35:24.787
–I mean, not rolling, but you could make ends meet.

00:35:24.787 --> 00:35:26.789
–I mean, look at how much you made Doug there.

00:35:26.789 --> 00:35:27.624
JoAnn...

00:35:27.624 --> 00:35:29.500
–I know but I need to see it in proof, Doug.

00:35:29.500 --> 00:35:31.961
You saw that there, thats 400,000.

00:35:32.253 --> 00:35:34.255
If I had 400,000, where would I be right now?

00:35:34.923 --> 00:35:35.465
–Right.

00:35:35.590 --> 00:35:38.593
I'd be sitting in the Fairbanks already having a cold beer.

00:35:39.636 --> 00:35:41.471
–Yeah. And that's why we're doing all this, aren't we?

00:35:41.596 --> 00:35:42.096
Mm-hmm.

00:35:42.388 --> 00:35:42.931
–OK.

00:35:43.765 --> 00:35:46.100
Seed, feed, seed, fertilizer, grain.

00:35:46.225 --> 00:35:48.394
–Jeez I could cry, it makes me sick.

00:35:53.983 --> 00:35:56.653
–Here's another twenty six thousand dollars.

00:36:00.907 --> 00:36:02.825

Middlebury, Vermont.

REPORTER
Nice. Tell me about your dogs.

00:37:05.596 --> 00:37:09.600
I went to a race in Vermont, a little race, forty two years ago

00:37:09.600 --> 00:37:11.477
and I saw these dogs running and

00:37:11.477 --> 00:37:13.271
on the way home I stopped and got the newspaper

00:37:13.271 --> 00:37:15.356
and in the classifieds found a five dog team

00:37:15.356 --> 00:37:16.733
so I bought the five dog team.

00:37:17.483 --> 00:37:20.528
And then we started running our dogs off the farm in Middlebury

00:37:20.528 --> 00:37:21.529
and...

00:37:21.529 --> 00:37:22.530
here we are now.

00:37:22.989 --> 00:37:25.074

Alright, the next trophy, this is probably the most

00:38:59.043 --> 00:39:01.963
popular trophy that we do and give out every year.

00:39:01.963 --> 00:39:03.256
It's a special trophy.

00:39:03.422 --> 00:39:05.216
It's the Barbara Hubbard Memorial trophy.

00:39:05.842 --> 00:39:08.302
And it goes to the driver who does the most in promoting

00:39:08.302 --> 00:39:10.930
the public image of sled dog racing,

00:39:11.514 --> 00:39:13.724
And I don't think there really should be much question

00:39:13.724 --> 00:39:15.393
as to who's gettin that this year...

00:39:15.518 --> 00:39:16.894

That's a good answer.

00:41:48.963 --> 00:41:50.089

PHONE
OK well what can I help you with today?

00:41:53.968 --> 00:41:56.012
I'd like to pay a $1000 today

00:41:56.387 --> 00:41:58.764
And then next week, I'll be after you again

00:41:58.764 --> 00:42:00.099
to make some more payments.

00:42:00.433 --> 00:42:02.810
And I'll be paying every week to two weeks.

00:42:02.977 --> 00:42:03.978
I don't know how much.

00:42:03.978 --> 00:42:07.189
It could be 500 to 2500 to get us caught up.

00:42:07.189 --> 00:42:10.609
Because I have some money coming in from different directions

00:42:10.609 --> 00:42:13.237
but it comes in slower than I want it.

00:42:14.697 --> 00:42:15.865
PHONE
Now I am gonna ask though...

00:42:15.865 --> 00:42:18.284

now the last payment was back in November...

00:42:18.993 --> 00:42:21.412

And I'm really stretching it out here

00:42:21.412 --> 00:42:23.122

because I should be looking for 4000.

00:42:23.873 --> 00:42:25.624
I'm...seriously, I'm working very hard on that

00:42:25.624 --> 00:42:28.127
because Green Mountain has worked with me over the

00:42:28.127 --> 00:42:29.378
you know, the past year and a half

00:42:29.378 --> 00:42:31.297
when I've been through such a rough time that

00:42:31.297 --> 00:42:33.507
you know, it's a great people, great company

00:42:33.507 --> 00:42:34.550

Ok honey, you're in trouble now.

00:42:39.638 --> 00:42:40.765
It's a dairy farm.

00:42:40.848 --> 00:42:43.267
My grandparents bought it in 1926

00:42:43.642 --> 00:42:44.435
and uh...

00:42:45.102 --> 00:42:46.645
I've got a workaholic son.

00:42:47.229 --> 00:42:48.981
PHONE
So your son still works on the farm then?

00:42:48.981 --> 00:42:52.443
Oh he's great. And his wife, my daughter in law,

00:42:52.443 --> 00:42:55.196
you couldn't ask for two greater, sweeter, nicer people.

00:42:57.239 --> 00:42:58.741
PHONE
Ugh, you know...

00:42:59.075 --> 00:43:01.869
PHONE
My family ended up having to sell the farm.

00:43:03.412 --> 00:43:05.998

You know, because of tax poor and nobody wanted to run it.

00:43:07.083 --> 00:43:07.500
DOUG
Yep.

00:43:10.961 --> 00:43:13.881
I used to work with Sonny Miller and

00:43:13.881 --> 00:43:17.301
uh years ago there was an older couple

00:43:17.301 --> 00:43:18.969
you know, late seventies that...

00:43:19.095 --> 00:43:20.763
mentally they were good, but physically

00:43:20.763 --> 00:43:22.640
they just couldn't do it anymore.

00:43:22.932 --> 00:43:25.059
So we picked the cows up and brought 'em my farm

00:43:25.059 --> 00:43:27.353
to transition 'em to free stall,

00:43:27.937 --> 00:43:29.563
And and that poor lady was crying so hard

00:43:29.563 --> 00:43:31.440
she fell on the ground, I had to pick her up and

00:43:31.774 --> 00:43:33.109
and carry her and put her in her chair

00:43:33.109 --> 00:43:35.194
because it was like we were taking her children from her.

00:43:35.611 --> 00:43:36.445

I know.

00:43:53.921 --> 00:43:56.841

01:18:25.449 --> 01:18:27.326
but I couldn't afford a Speedo.

01:18:30.496 --> 01:18:32.080
Out the door they went!
