Most people are busy.

I just spent all afternoon trying to get one of our bulls out of the neighbors pasture. I say trying because he is still there. The cows he got in with were supposed to be tame but if we got within twenty yards of them they took off. After an hour of this we gave up and will try again tomorrow. People can make fun of our pampered ex-show heifers all they want but I will take calling them and shaking a bucket over running all over hell and back trying to coral cattle any day of the week. I hope everyone else had a better memorial day then me.

So ya missed us!? Beautiful day - working - ultrasounding cows, breeding a few, moving fence, moving the live lawn mowers, the usual - of also sheared out a few hairy cows (and I do disagree with the guy who said you can never have too much hair!). Still have more to do - always have more to do...Hope everyone had a good and safe day...

Red and I would take a bit of rain as well. It is starting to get dry. My mother saw some dust devils in the corn field .(today we turned some cows and calves on new pasture.) . She said and I quote...."that is a sign of hot dry summer....." Gotta love the farm Euphemism.

We've been gettin that "million-dollar rain" the last couple days....I guess we prayed hard enough. Last Sunday, our preacher put the corn and soybeans in the prayer requests. (lol)

Hubby & spent one of the fews days w/ no brothers or no farming! Went to Applebee's to eat, did a little home improvement shopping. worked on the house. Got to sleep in till 7 this morning & just had a pleasant day.
No rain though! Hate to see those showers just split & go around us. They got 1 1/2 south of us & some north so not sure what the problem is.

ITK- I've always said it, give me my former show heifers any day for ease of working! After chasing 30 steers from our feedlot a couple of weeks ago it makes me appreciate my girls even more! I've still got cows that haven't been shown for 8 years that I can just go up & put a halter on them in the pasture.

just came home for a break. i have to agree, id rather deal with show cattle any day than some of the sale barn cattle that one of my neighbors buys. helped him catch 6 heifers that he said were tame ( only took us three days to catch them, with the help of another neighbor a mile and a half away). even at that working with cattle sure beats the drunk and belligerent people I deal with every night

Cwfmr, are you a cop or a bouncer?
Well long weekend or not, I'm taking my vacation now.... Going back to the farm for a couple of weeks, to visit the cows and the parents. Just thought I'd tell you all so no one would worry I went missing. I'll probably come back with some pictures to show.

See, I blame my sister-in-law for no rain. she came out Saturday to get some plants & said she shut her windows at home. We stood there & watch the storm just divide & go around us. If she had left them open it would have rained for sure!

We've been trying everything around here, cutting hay, leaving windows down, washing cars, and of course prayer. Where can I learn a good rain dance?

Try Kansas, raining again, 3 1/2 inches in the last couple of days, we just can't seem to get dried out.
