Here’s Peahes baby. I weaned the colts the other day. They are feeling sorry for themselves cuz they can’t get to mom to suck that wonderful milk they’ve been getting all their lives, up to now. They are getting all the feed they need, but it just isn’t the same. Poor babies! This filly looksContinue reading

This was the coolest thing we saw at the zoo. Afterwards, we went to a friends who lives northwest of the cities a bit. Another couple and their twin daughters came and we had a great time visiting and Jodie made us some real good food to eat. Thank Jim and Jode! Sunday we gotContinue reading

Okay, now where were we? Oh yeah, here. Tyler took us to see the Cathedral in St Paul. Magnificent! I was in awe. And then we learned there is a stone in there from Joan of Arc’s tomb, or some such. I am always amazed at how gifted some people are who can build somethingContinue reading

Shipped the rest of the yearlings out today. It went well. Not that many bovines running around here now, tho’ a neighbor brought about 150 to use up the grass down south. Wish he’d a brought 250 as there is lots of grass left! My colt man brought Grump home today as his foot thatContinue reading

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 aContinue reading
