One Fine Acre - 2023 4H Steer Project Update

@OneFineAcre - If your spring doelings are big enough, what goes into your decision about when to breed them?
When do you want them to kid with respect to the Memorial weekend show?

We haven't "purposely" bred but a couple of kids their first fall, and they were larger than most. We have a couple this year that are big enough.
We have usually waited until they are a year and half old for most, just to have all of our kidding in spring. However, I think we are going to start breeding more when they are a year old just to spread out kidding and have a couple that are fresh for NC State Fair
We just try to spread ours out from late Feb through April

On the way to pick up Freeday and Climate Control from their "dates" with a couple of smelly boys
Both were successfully bred
Everything went as planned
Gave the Lute injections on Tuesday night and removed the CIDR's on Wednesday night
Both came in heat today right on schedule

I went back to the state fairgrounds today for the Dixie Gun and Knife Show
Spent some of that money I'm saving on cigarettes since I have quit smoking
I didnt have a .380 and wanted some thing I could just slip in my pocket a little smaller and lighter than the Ruger LC9
So I got a Ruger LCP

I call this the Ruger Fantastic Black Plastic Trifecta
Security 9, LC9, and LCP

That's another that I like. The .380 is a nice little gun and fits well with a pocket holster. I actually have a bed holster that mine sits in.

I wish .380 ammo was the same price as 9mm, it's kind of pricey

That said, I have to mention that I was at one of the Goodwill stores the other day. My passion is books and reading, and $1.00 paperbacks are always a good deal.

Are you one of those people that have 100s and 100s of paperback books stacked everywhere?
(My wife is.she has the bookcase full and every empty nook, cranny and cabinet full of them and has finally begun filling cardboard boxes.)
I finally implemented the "If you buy one, you have to get rid of 2" rule. Love has it's limits.
