Saturday morning we had our weigh in for sheep and swine for Show-n-Sale. Here are a couple of pics.
On Saturday Tyler spent time chisel plowing, I took some pictures for his FFA projects. Our farm is in the background, this is one of a small number of our fields that are right at home. Most are 2-15 miles away.
Katie spent some time working with Honey, getting her used to new things and experiences. The bridge didn't faze her one bit.
Later Saturday I drove both kids to the other farm so they could weigh and lead their fair steers. Tyler is undecided yet between two of his, Katie has been decided since she saw hers. She has had a calf from the same cow at Beaver Brook Farm for 3 years now. Steve, Little Steve, and....well, Steve. I didn't get pics of Tyler's the one that he weighed was CRAZY! He was however, already over 1200 pounds! BIG! Great to see my kids work together to get them caught and weighed.
Monday we had concrete people here to tear out part of our freestall barn to make a new cleaning system. We had to chase the cows out of the barn, and around the end to the parlor. They were so excited, they ran and bucked and beat on each other. It was quite a process. This morning went better. Hopefully they get it done and fixed soon!
This morning I had help to do my chores, Emily came while Kylie and Maddi were at an appointment in Siren.
We also had babies overnight, Buttercup had 4 little ones, and in my barn where we can find them and have them tame and friendly for giving away.
Well, thats all for now. I'm off to take care of my babies!
