It has been years since the last time I seen a calf with foot rot. I get it in the yearlings and cows on occasion, but calves, no. I'm keeping him and his…

Also a little photo manipulation via <u><a href="http://www.gimp.org/">GIMP</a></u>, the free photo manipulation software that's on par with photoshop. Taken 7/9/2006.</center>

The springs have been so cool that they normally freeze out every year. This year they didn't but I thought the blight got most of them. I see it didn't since I found…

  • Trailing Yearlings

Why they felt the need to be scattered out over a mile long is beyond me but they got where they belonged. Taken 6/29/2006.</center>

The bales are 3x3x8 and they make a very impressive stack when done. Taken 7/1/2006.</center><br />n<br />n.

Pretty impressive machines they used. Taken 7/1/2006.</center>

I am sure glad there were none over there, it's a tough ride to try to get to them. Taken 6/29/2006.</center>

I had spent way to many hours on a tractor seat and needed to get out riding again. Now if it was just a little cooler. Taken 6/28/2006.</center>

The tank full of water and the fence put back in to separate the pastures. I think it will work real good. there are a few leaks thanks to the hired hand not tightening the bolts enough but I will be…
