Great news!

A friend and neighbor has been on trial and I just read that he won! It’s nice to know that justice can prevail!

Chance and I shot and dressed a big steer this morning and hauled him to Newell to the butcher. We ate a bite after dropping him off and then stopped back at the butcher shop and picked up the hide as they are not worth much, so I nailed it to a barn wall to clean up and I will make it into rawhide and braid a reata or something with it.

Ysterday Teri, a young neighbor lady and friend who is a artist, came down and went with me to feed with the team and took pictures for material for her art work. She does such nice work, I am anxious to see what she comes up with.

Been real nice last couple days. Up to 40 or close to it. I suppose it will just stay warm enough to put a crust on the snow, but maye it will melt it enough that it won’t effect the winter grazing. I hope to get my bale unroller worked on tomorrow and get it up to snuff. I have been feeding with the bobsled, but with these warmer temps my sledding snow is going fast.

That’s okay, I can use the bale wagon or pitch onto the other wagon, for that matter! I will take warm weather!

Chance helped me put the wider bucket on the loader the other day and also the chains and bale unroller, so I guess we are ready, come what may.
