  • Water

    I've had water problems for my cows for a couple of days now. One of my generators that I pump water with decided to give me fits. I had to sit and babysit it all day yesterday to try and figure out the problem. It's one of those things that the more complicated something is,…

  • Moving Markets

    You might remember from the pictures, that I had some cows and bulls on the market on Wednesday. I heard the market report the other day for Wednesday and heard that cows and bulls were up 2-4 dollars on that day in Billings. I thought that I was real lucky to hit the market on…
