We leased a bull again this year from late August – October.  We are hoping for about 12 Black Angus calves in the Spring.  We ordered hay from our neighbors for the winter so that is a load off our minds!  We had a bad haying year because of all the rain.  That’s the problem with working a day job- it’s hard to find consecutive dry days around weekends!  So, for now, we rely on purchasing hay, with hopes that when Craig retires we can do more of our own.  We still have a few projects that we hope to finish before it snows- getting more gravel for the farm driveway and ours at home, and making some feeders for protein supplements through the winter.  The plan was to winterize the pump and put in underground pipes with a water fountain, but that has been pushed off another year.  So, we move into the beautiful Fall season with not so many projects planned this year!
