Good morning! Today is DH's 38th birthday...I baked him some fresh fair scones for breakfast, he opened his presents...and now we get to spend the day making a V-chute out of corral panels and picking bracken fern, oh goodie! ;)

thewife, no sweat if you're not available...I'm actually feeling much more confident now that I've had a very successful halter training session with Annabel. By Wednesday that will make 3 out of 4 animals I can handle pretty easily. T-Bone still needs some work, but he's still got quite a limp and we don't want to rope him yet for fear he'll hurt himself further by thrashing around and/or tripping over the halter rope.

thewife, alfalfa would normally be quite spendy for mulch but, if you feel it's no longer any good for the cattle, use it. Most use grass or straw because it's cheap.

amysflock, tell your DH Happy Birthday! :)

12195 Bales through her. It's a 1991 but never used until July of 1992. The guy kept records of everything he did to it and the bales that went through it.

Good Morning,

Up, board checked, chores and milking done, mangers cleaned, back to house. :) Mangers usually get cleaned in the aft. but, it's suppose to be a hot one out today so, we did them while it's cool out. :D

Happy Father's Day!
