Gone
Well, the hired hand is gone. He told me he would leave Thursday and he did. He snuck out of here in the middle of the night. The shape he left the living quarters I don't blame him and his wife for sneaking out. Totally disgusting. My Darling Wife is not looking forward to cleaning…

Here We Go Again
Well, no surprise, the Hired Hand quit yesterday morning. I assumed after his doctor appointment on Monday he would. From my discussions with him I figured he was going to opt for surgery over medicine to fix his heart condition. They are going to crack his chest open and either fix or replace his heart…

Despair
On a rare occasion I have hope that the hired hand is coming around and will be a really good man to have around. The other day he independently remembered that there was a stretch of fence needed fixing before we turned cattle into a pasture and went and fixed it. That really made me…

Hired Hand
Well, I have a hire hand again. I ended up hiring the guy I was talking to. Nice, well spoken guy with experience and qualifications. With hundreds of farm and ranch jobs in the area, why did he want to come work here? This just bothers me. I finally decided to try him but I…

It’s Time
I know, I know, I'm a little behind schedule. I should have turned the bulls out to the yearling replacement heifers 2 days ago but I didn't. I felt that getting the seeding done was more important. The seeding is done though. What a relief. That has been praying at my mind for over a…
