I'm just feeding hay so far. I'll start with the corn silage when I get to weaning beef calves.

We started October 18th with the first bale of hay.

I didn't feed any hay in the fields till a couple of weeks ago. I've been feeding some heifers for a couple of months though.

I’ve messed around and don’t have a group of calves to feed this winter. Probably won’t at this rate. Might not be home until February

Korean Christmas? Sounds like that will suck. Do they have fir trees over there?

It sure is. Be about 105 days straight of eating rice and noodles. Got to make hay when the sun shines though.

They do have some live ones and fake ones.

Will you at the least be able to come home for Christmas? Or it just too costly?

I can hit with 2.5 days of travel the cost and time home isn’t worth it really. I hate to miss Christmas but it’s 2 weeks pay lost to go home with the plane tickets included

I get it. That sucks but it would not be worth it to me either.

Put some new skins on last night and half way did a alignment job.

Guys, enjoy the kids now while they are helping on the farm, as mine is never coming back to the farm.

After the blizzard went through last week the Milo that was left to harvest is pancake flat! The beans seem to be standing okay yet! Been a long drug out harvest!

I'm doing all i can to compete with the TV and Grandmas cell phone. I'll do anything to keep them outside where growing, learning kids belong.
