What a nice day. Makes up for a lot of them cold windy boogers we’ve had. Chance and I got the yearling’s in and sorted the steers from the heifers. Only had one get away and had to get it back. Short one, but we could have missed him amongst the others. I’ll see if I can find him in the morning before the trucks get here.
Then Hope and Chance headed for town to do some hurry up business. I went and fed hay with the tractor, seeing as we had cattle scattered in 3 different pastures now and it was after dinner. Gramma and I went over to CRS and got some extruded soybean and when we got home I unloaded it and then mixed some up with salt for a limiter and we hauled it up west where we kicked our cows.
Tractor is missing when you give it very much throttle so I just called and am trying to get some fuel filters for it. I hope it’s only that, but am afraid it might be the injector pump. I can afford filters, but not a new or re-built pump. If I can limp it along until Thanksgiving when these heifers are supposed to go, then I can get by with my team until I can get it fixed. I have my bales set to where I can feed with the team pretty handy, if it does quit on me. Probably try and feed some with the team tomorrow after we ship these steers.
