Feb. 17th, 2008 10:00 pmThe past couple weeks been quite eventful here.
Dad sold his 900 LB steers and Graham sold one pen of his heifers the next day. Dad has been having cattle arrive since then as his buyer finds cattle at sales. Having the load out area at Graham's accessible to cattle liners saves a lot of work and time now! We used to have to trailer them down to his place from ours.
Our cousin and his family visited one evening. It was nice to see them again.
We ran out of water. :P Erin and I put the tank on the truck and then Erin looked at the clock to see what time it was. She remarked," 11:00 PM I should have known!" We've hauled water at that time more than once. Then we ran out of water again about a week later. :P In the evening but I think we finished hauling by 11:00 PM. :P
Spent time getting ready for our friends' visit-cooking, sewing, cake decorating, etc.
Saturday Dad, Graham, and Erin went to the gun show in town. I was madly running around catching up on a bit of everything here. The H. family arrived around 6 PM and it was so good to see them all again. Everyone was here so we had 23 people at our place which is a lot considering there is usually just four or five of us or 11 at the most when my brother and his family come. It was fun though since we don't have company very often. We had turkey dinner(Mom cooked a 37 LB turkey!) with all the trimmings so were surrounded with lots of good food and fellowship. :) Naomi and Ellie stayed in my room and we talked until 2 AM. I hadn't seen them in over two years so that was a good enough exuse to stay up late. 5:30 AM came too early though. LOL! They left around 7 because they had a long drive ahead of them.
Graham's small pen of heifers knocked down a few wind boards going into the alley, walked through the opening down to the end, opened the gate and mixed in with the pen of his other heifers. Can your calves do that?? Haha! :P There were about 300 but we only got around to separating about half of them before it was too dark. We finished separating the rest a couple days later.
Ah, life is never dull!
