catch up time

wow, how has time flown by this quickly? it seems like it was just yesterday i blogged, not months ago! fortunately, things have slowly been turning around for us, and for that i am very grateful. we did have a few tight months, but with cautious spending and a good reputation, we made it through the hard times.

with winter's arrival possible at any time, we are getting things ready for the cold and snow. the last calves are being weaned and the huts set up for the winter calves. the corn is all harvested and in storage and the manure is getting spread along with lime for spring tillage. it doesnt look like we will get much fall tillage done, but the main thing is that the corn is off. we ended up with a much better harvest than anticipated.

the past week has been a very busy one with many calves arriving, incuding two this morning. both were heifer calves...what a good feeling. there's still a few more left that can calve anytime now. after this group i wont be too busy until late december. ill try to blog more, now that i will (hopefully) have a little more free time!
