Gots ourselves calf #2. The calf ranch is at half capacity lol.


They named the new guy Brandon so now we have Annie on the left looking insane and Brandon on the right.

Calf #3 got brought home today. A Charlios/Brown Swiss cross that’s 42 days old already. Traded some hay for him. Not a bad deal really.


We also put some insulated reflective covers on top of the hutches to help keep them cool.

The little 2 day old crossbreeds are bringing $1250 up here. The white guy would likely fetch closer to $1500 at his age. Bonkers.

I dated a girl in college with those same eyes. It was fun …. For a while lol.

The calves are not pets but I find myself hanging out at the “calf ranch” more than I need to giving out head scratches or just talking to them. What’s wrong with me lol

caught up for the moment. I’m sure I’ll have to do a bit of replanting here or there.

Neighbor had a breakdown and called yesterday. We cut the last of his wheat and hauled it in for him. He’s a good guy so just being neighborly

I finished planting beans so in a pretty good spot right now. Had a good rain last night too. Corn has potential to do well.

Hell yeah brotha new asphalt to cruise on !! Finished up 2nd pass on my own soybeans and am working on custom work again. We’ve had a couple amazing spray days so far this week with the last two days being able to go from the moment the dew was off until dark.


Where do these confounded weeds keep coming from


I broke down and got AutoPath for the new monitor. Wowser !! It follows exactly where the planter went and I just hang out and pick my nose. Doing a touch over an acre a minute really knocks things out in a hurry !


Gives me more time to watch the sprayer and make sure the nozzles I can see are all working.

If you think you are busy with haylage just wait. If Brazil keeps it up we might as well chop all the corn come later

So @jblnut how are the pets doing?

Dang little escape artists !!


So we built a calf-tainment zone so I hopefully don’t have to run my out of shape self all over Gods country to catch these spunky little buggers anymore !!

 

[Bill G]

There is no doubt they can run but if they are still bottle/bucket fed they generally come home.
