Sold calves today.

Took this one, but no-saled her as they didn’t want to pay enough. She’s out of a 17 year old cow, so I’ll just let her grow up and be a cow. Her mama has lasted about 8 years longer than most peoples cows, so I guess she ought to make a good one.

We didn’t have no barn burner, but the kids made enough off their calves to pay their notes, and I’ve sure seen years where I didn’t do that! They were 3 calves short as they had an open cow and lost a calf and one of their cows was a late calver and the calf wasn’t big enough to wean and sell, so they will have another one to sell later on, when it gets bigger.

I sure would have took more for mine if they would have paid it, but oh well, I guess I got as much as I could.

There is always next year! 🙂
