Weather Is Holding....

Yesterday was a beautiful day. The sun was shining and it was in the upper 40's. Today is a bit breezy and overcast and hopefully we don't see the moisture they are predicting for the next couple days. We are still planning on bringing in cows from the lower field (the one that all the water is in...should be fun!) on Saturday and Shipping them out on Sunday.
I have been working on getting the paperwork together on all the cows. On this ranch we have set up a system to keep track of how the cows are doing( i.e., weight, calving season, age, breeding, etc.). About this time of the year I usually spend time getting the numbers together for the owner so he knows where his herd stands in the way of whether we need to cull or how many calves he has so he can decide what he wants to keep or sell. This year as you know is a bit different as most everything is going to sale barn. So he needs all cattle accounted for and closing out the books so he can report to taxes what he needs to. I am close to being done with this task. Hopefully will finish up today.......
Otherwise, we are waiting for the mud to dry so somebody doesn't get hurt when we ship. I heard something about digging a trench to drain the water in the corrals so maybe they can dry better.
Update....
FIL finished his coat yesterday. He is quite pleased....

Have a great day!
