Came in today… if it keeps raining more will be coming, but we got enough for now.

Sue, tell Bob to look at these and pick one out for a belt… Nice today, not bad windy and not too hot or too cold…we moved the drop bunch up in the northwest part of Harry’s…there is green grass up there, real hard to drive cows across who have been eating hay and foragingContinue reading “New practice”
