Beautiful Spring Day

What a Glorious Day it was! I wish I could say we were up with the chickens and the sunrise and got out there to enjoy the new day dawning - but we didn't - we got up late and then tackled the day! But it was great. Pete has been moving a little slower the last couple weeks, back pain, sinus cold, old age (only kidding).

When we got outside this morning, we had 8 heifers and 5 calves to pen up, vaccinate, worm and tag and move them to the big pasture out back. All said and done it went pretty smoothly and no one was hurt - yet. After lunch we went to work on the electric fence and started fencing a new section to expand the smaller pasture.

The kids were good, they would hang with us for a while and then ride off for a while.

I'm just hoping Pete survives the night, after being shocked by the electric fence 6 or 7 times and clunking himself on the head pretty hard - I'd say he put in a full day's work.

Everyone is worn out and it's time for bed. Sweet dreams everyone!
