Our Steer is Here!

Why are you envious. Doesn’t that mean your jealous of something

He just bought a place. He wants some sheep and a steer to raise for the freezer. But he has to build fences. Before he can build new fences, he has to clean fence rows, take up the old fence, he’s got a lot to do! LOL LOL

@Crealcritter i had to read that to my husband. We both chuckled as I read your comment. We bought this place and there was nothing on it but a double wide. We hit the ground running and have come a long way since then and you are right, now we are able to slow down a little and enjoy the fruits of our labors. But we don’t slow down much, LOL. While we don’t have to build infrastructure, we stay busier than a three legged cat in a sandbox. Yesterday I spent most of the morning sitting in the grass hugging lambs and dogs. It was such a gorgeous day! Husband took pictures, they are on my lambing thread. We are having a blast. The hard work keeps us in good physical shape and we are happier than we have ever been. We both pray that you and your wife enjoy your new place as much as we enjoy ours.

One more thing, we are envious of your pond! The pictures you posted of you and the grandkids fishing were all too sweet. Wish we had a pond!

Goldie is loaded on the trailer and we leave at 7:15 in the morning. Don’t have far to go, but will have to stop at car wash to wash trailer out.
