Saturdays on the Farm

Hey everybody! How’s it going? I hope you all are well. Yesterday was just like any other Saturday on the farm, and I would like to share with you what we did yesterday! The day started out usual we have to eat breakfast quick and then head outside to see what we were going to do that day. We found out that we had to bed the cattle, and then eat lunch, and then we would work cattle. We usually bed cattle on Saturdays so this wasn't a surprise, besides we only had to bed 3 of the 6 pens because they had bedded some of the pens on Friday. Then while we were bedding we noticed that Cody had ditched the sweet water truck and was driving the Manito fast down to the outside pens. Before we knew it dad had also disappeared, then we knew something was going on. Joel had stopped the tractor and ran to see what was going on. He came back and we resumed bedding cattle. Turns out a heifer had fallen upside down into one of the sweet water tanks!!! SCARY!! Yes the heifer survived, thanks to Cody. After we were done bedding we headed inside for lunch, because of course everyone has to eat lunch! Then after lunch we headed back outside to work cattle. We had 500 head to work, but thankfully they had worked half of them Friday. First we had to work some sick ones that needed a re-treat, then after that we brought in the cattle. We take about 7-10 head at a time, and we take them into what we call a "tub". Which is a round pen, and we push them one by one in a little corridor which is hooked to the chute. The corridor fits about 3 cows, and makes them stand single file so we can pour them with lice repellent. Pouring the pour-on is my job, usually. Then one by one they enter the chute to get whatever they need. In this case, they need three shot. Ouch! Then they are released and that is repeated until every one of the cows is done. Then we usually bring them down to the pen, but in this case there pen was not cleaned out yet so we kept them up there. Oh yea, I didn't mention that we had a couple of bulls that needed a little treatment of their own. GROSS! That usually concludes a usual Saturday at the farm. I would like to thank all of my readers for reading my post, I really do appreciate that! Have a great rest of your week.

The Chester Middle School Presents: Goldilocks on Trial

This year the Chester Middle School Present Goldilocks on Trial. Yes you know that old bed time story about the girl that was found in the bears house. Well now she is being sued for it! I played Goldilocks lawyer Ms. Wombat, and Ethan was Papa Bear. We performed the play on Thursday March 1 to Pre-k through the 8th grade. the play was very funny and was for young kids as well as adults. Here are some pictures of the play.

OH NO! More SNOW!

Hey everybody I just wanted to let you know that the snow that didn't come at Christmas day is here now! The only problem is that we don't want it now! Today we got about 4 inches and we were hoping that school would be two hours early or be closed but that didn't happen. Instead we got out at 1:00 and had the rest of the day to do what ever we wanted. That was OK because we still called it a day of school so we don't have to make it up at the end of the year. I couldn't believe that just yesterday I went outside in a light jacket and know I can hardly get out the door with all the snow! I can't complain because this our first really big snow storm and it's the end of February! Thanks for reading my blog and I hope you are staying safe in this weird winter!
