Be Careful What You Wish For

A River Runs Thru it.....looking south into one of our hayfields....we now have river front property, and as you can see, some of the rain got a little "white"
My round pen....not really use-able at the moment :(
Pretty Shay :o)
Well, its been a while since I managed to find some time to post! Both of us spent a month being sick with a very nasty bug that started as bronchitis and hung around for far too long! Then the tractor decided to break down, (not a good thing when you have 40 cows to feed) the cows are calving, and THEN we got the rain we REALLY needed. Now I know we really really needed rain, I just wish there was some way to get rain, without MUD! The corrals as you can see turned into a bog, and so we had to turn the cows out into the field where we feed all winter. So, its not the cleanest field to calve in, but at least it keeps them closer to home.

Shay is growing up, she's going to be a pretty girl when she matures......she's also extremely intense, with everything she does, I think starting her on stock is going to be really fun! I can hardly wait for my round pen to dry up, to get her started, but judging by the depth of the mud we're going to need some warm weather to accomplish that!

Happy Mother's Day to all the Mom's - 2 and 4 legged!

  1. Shay is very pretty! She looks a whole lot like Ellie. Janna and Ellie have been here this weekend at a clinic (Ellie was along for the ride/socialization) and I just couldn't get over how stinkin' CUTE she was. She's got a face for spoiling!
