I wish we could get a little snow for Christmas but it doesn't look good.

Put the two Simmental mom's together in a small pen, which should work well for the winter or I might put them with my Jerseys. Got my truck back from the shop. Lost a couple old hens over the week. My weaned pigs get all gitty when I bring out the bucket full of wet Beet pulp.

Is your niece sick? Hate to see little ones feeling yucky too. Hoping she is feeling better so she can enjoy Santa.

Admiring something from afar? You? I guess some things we want just don't fit in the plan?

Ain't that the truth. Well it sounds like the fever has broken and little one is up to no good again. Got to see her yesterday when she was just starting to feel better. The ages of 9 months to about two are awesome. Then they are crazy but around 8 years old they seem to calm down a bit. My oldest niece is a wild child one hour with her and I :th.
My oldest nephew the 8 year old is REALLY big into football now, which is great. My little nephew and younger brother to the 8 year old is a sweety but cautious not like the youngest of all my nieces and nephews shes a social butterfly. She hugs every kid when they come into class at day care, it is adorable. She likes to snuggle babies, lol and anything fluffy and soft.
Then theres my eldest siblings little boy who is probably the most up beat child I've ever met and a tough kid.

Even in siblings you get different personalities. With my boys Logan (who is 5) is a friendly child who will talk to everyone, but he is also a whiney child who wants to act like a spoilt brat and think he can get whatever he wants when he wants it. We are working on breaking that attitude! Korbin (who is 3) has a personality that seems to constantly change right now. He can be sweet as honey one minute and mean as a hornet the next sometimes. He will talk up a storm, but act shy around strangers too. We are trying to break him from saying bad words lately. Cameron (who is 1) is a silly, fun little mess. He is curious and wants to check everything out, he loves attention too.

With my nieces and nephew. I have heard that my oldest niece (she is 4)is a social butterfly. My nephew (he is 3) is a very quiet child, but he enjoys playing too. Kind of a semi social butterfly. My youngest niece (she is 4 mnths old) seems to be a happy child usually, I don't get to have a ton of iteraction with her all the time since they live a few hours away.

It's so neat to see how personalities show up an develop in children.

I got couple cheap old grain bins today. Got to get the rust off and get some good patch welding done and then I can use them. One I will use as an imprevised Goat feeder for the Wethers and the other I will put in the upper level of my main barn just above the feed room. I have a chute that runs up to a homemade bin. The chute connects to cabinet that fills up through gravity and I can just open the top lids, scoop out what I need and close it, so much easier.

Sorry about your sick niece.

I wish we'd get snow too...but we're experiencing unusually high temps for this time of year :(

I was just discussing last week that I'd like to learn to weld....should be interesting.

I can't weld worth a darn but I have friends who can and they help alot. I help them on things I can help with, which is land, land, land. They have ten acres but have nearly fifty horses so since they have horses no one will buy right now, except maybe me as I know their good blood lines and potential, I provide grazing room for them.
I really don't mind having the twenty plus extra horses on my land as I love to see a Herd of horses running as a group, something they can't do for long at my friends place.
