The sun goes down way to quick, this time of year. And doesn’t get up soon enough. I get up and set in a room lit with lightbulbs. I need sunlight! Guess I need to get my gro-light out and set under it! We went to town the other day and I got new fuelContinue reading “Short days”

We Have Become A Nation Of Thieves By WALTER E. WILLIAMS | Posted Wednesday, November 19, 2008 4:30 PM PT Evil acts can be given an aura of moral legitimacy by noble-sounding socialistic expressions such as spreading the wealth, income redistribution or caring for the less fortunate. Let’s think about socialism. Imagine there’s an elderlyContinue reading “I’m afraid we are…..”

I went out and found my missing steer and got him in. Poor ol’ Beav must have twisted his ankle a little while sorting yesterday or something as he was just a little lame in the right front. I’ll give him a few days off and see if it works. Chance helped me and weContinue reading “Another day….”

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 ifContinue reading “Beautiful”

Got a load of hay in yesterday and another coming here any minute. Cool! Things always look better to me when I got plenty of feed onContinue reading “Gonna have to get a windcharger I guess”

Got up pretty nice today. Maybe 45. Sure made some water and settled some snow. I had some yearlings up in the neighbors. He called last night. His cows had come thru a fence in to us and he hadn’t fixed the fence when he took them back. The heifers of course found it and wentContinue reading “Warming still”

It was 30 deegrees when I walked out about 6 to plug in the tractor. Yesterday I dug to the last stack yard of hay I hadn’t gotten to yet. Then in the afternoon when I hauled the trash out I could see yearling’s scattered and grazing. I will need to get hay in toContinue reading “Warming”
