@Wehner Homestead IDK how I missed your posts with so many pictures! So many things to comment but where to begin....lol

First, Halo is absolutely adorable!!!
About the steer standing in the water, would it help if you but the water bucket up on a stand? What's that behind Reggie, a feed bucket on a stand of some sort? My girls used to stand in their water trough then DH build a stand about a foot off the ground and put the water trough on it, I noticed the girls don't step in it anymore.

This is basically what’s in there...not sure if it’s that brand but you get the idea...

I like the idea of a stand but we use those tubs only for temporary. Two of the three steers will be gone by 10/20 so less than 15 days.

Behind on updates! DH and FIL have been working on 50 acres of hay and trying to beat the weather.

DH plans to clean out the barn and spread the manure over the hay field and one pasture on Friday evening/ Saturday. It’ll be nice to have everything clean again. Some of the stall gates have gotten hard to close because of all the hay waste. I have to figure out how to move everyone out of his way...

The next project will be a shelter for the bucks. I need to figure out their fencing.

We also still need to get the shed here to modify for the chickens. I did move some around last night. I need to disinfect one area and then I can move the last set. Debating on setting some eggs in the incubator. I have one rooster that needs to go to freezer camp for being mean and I’m iffy on two more. Only one is safe!

It’s Fall Break from Preschool and First Grade, this week and next. DD1 also turned 7 on Monday.

I’m behind on posting pics so I have several of those too.

Some recent cooking adventures:
Beef stew!

DS’ piggy pancake from lunch out on DD1’s BDay at Bob Evans.

Baked a turkey.

Homemade lemon pies. Request from DH. He’s worked so hard, I thought he deserved them.

I froze the extra turkey and roast from making beef stew to have prepped for other recipes in the future.

Sunrise this morning.

The queen of the vent!

Carrying around two toys! Silly girl!

Got some pics to explain the area where DH had hay fall off the hay wagon...it’s inside the main cattle pasture. I’m going to take you through it backwards (as in the opposite direction as we were coming with the wagon.) You go through the gate and come down this hill- you can see the rock ledge that cuts unevenly across where we drive.

A view from further back. You have to swing around a rock pile and ledge that’s in the middle of the far left of the picture. This means that it’s a tight turn to make to cross the creek.

Even closer pic of the uneven rock ledge.

The center lower portion is the “driveway that crosses toward the exposed rock on the opposite bank. You then turn to angle up toward the corner pasture gate that is behind those trees in the upper left of the pic.

Cats helping with kid delivery the other night. Chester left and Ella right.

I just got caught up, for some reason, I am never notified on your thread, plus a whole lot more. Halo is a cutie and so smart! I love her. I admire your Grandma, she is one tough lady to be trotting up and down stairs a week after knee replacement. DH had knee replacement and he sure wasn't stair worthy after only a week!

Happy birthday to DD1! Did the birthday girl get some piggy pancakes as well?

Halo is cute as ever! You food looks delicious! Those pies are just yummy!

All those food pictures got my appetite going so I'm going to go start a pot of chili.

That does seem to be a difficult path to traverse and on such even ground too.....

You can have piggy pancakes on your birthday. How about the number of link sausages you get would be the number of your age?
There's a restaurant near my work, if you go there on your birthday(or within a week), you get (number of your age)wings for free! You can share those wings or you don't have to share.

Man... I can definitely put down some wings, but 5 dozen? I'd be happy with ~12-15... buffalo style, w/Ranch dressing Damn... now I feel like going out for wings for dinner tonight...
