It looks like winter is here to stay for a while. There is more snow coming down today so we are finishing up Christmas decorations and baking.
We took our cattle to Bloomington Livestock Exchange last Friday and were very pleased with the prices our cattle brought. At the same time we pulled the heifer and Corriente calves into the barn to wean. That meant pulling the corral panels that were set up as horse stalls in the barn. The first 3 nights were awful noisy with cows looking for their babies and babies looking for their mama's. So far all is going well and I look forward to being able to get them back out with the herd in a few weeks. I'll be happy when we can get the horses back in the barn again so we can make sure they are getting the minerals they need. They also have picked up some burrs the last few weeks. So it will be time to get them combed out again as well.
This is a favorite time of year for us simply because we can turn on the TV in the evenings and watch rodeo. The NFR is finishing up tonight out in Las Vegas and I'm excited to see who will end up winning the averages.
Well, it's time to finish decorating the Christmas tree. I hope your holiday plans are going wel!
