Boy is it nice to be home! It is so hard to believe that I have already finished my first quarter of college and this year is about over. It just goes to show that time flies when you’re having fun. I also have to admit that this has been one of the craziest years of my life. I would safely say that the best and worst moments in my life up until this point happened in the last twelve months. As I look back, I also realize how much my sister and I have grown up and changed so much over the past year but it definitely is in a good way.
But since I have been home… it has snowed A LOT! And for those of you that don’t know winter is my favorite time of year and I LOVE the snow!!! We have also had a new baby since I have been home. He is adorable! But I seem to think all babies are. But he is a little more special because his mother is the infamous cow we know as Psycho. But the ironic part is that she isn’t crazy at all, but maybe just a bit bipolar. For example, as I was tagging him and giving him his shots, Psycho stood outside the gate calm as can be but as soon as I tag him she clears the board fence and I thought I was cooked. But instead she strolls over and starts licking me and proceeded to try to eat my face…. Funny how cows are sometimes. But I have also been spending quality time with the show heifers. We decided to turn them out for a while and it’s amazing what a difference it makes, not only to they look better but they are defiantly less of a handful. I am also pretty excited for the Holiday Classic Sale that we have four females in. Austin and I spent last week clipping and torching them and I have to say they look pretty darn good. I’m interested to see how they will be perceived in a “club calf” environment and how well our attempt at the Sim-Angus thing will go. But I guess we will find out in a week… well I had better get back to wrapping Christmas present so I can go rinse and work on breaking heifers while I am home.
Until next time…
Lindsey
