Calving
Let's see, a quick update on calving. I'm tired.<br />n<br />nAbove and beyond that, it's going really slow. The heifers could have started around the 8th of February. I had the first calf on the 14th of February and they are going slow. Not quite 10 percent done yet. When they finally start opening up…

Reality (I Think)

Help or Hurt
<a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/02/13/AR2009021301596.html">Congress Passes Stimulus Package</a><br />n<br />nMy question is whether this will help or hurt our country. I personally feel it more than likely will hurt the country but we will see. It's Obama's show now and he gets to spend all the money that the Democrats will let him. How we as the taxpayers…

It’s Here
I see today is that special day dedicated to the proposition that if a man makes a big enough deal over his lady on this one day of the year, he is immune from showing her any love or consideration for the rest of the year. Yes, happy valentines day. <br />n<br />n<br />nNow if…

Plan
I find it interesting that the stock market took such a tumble when the Obama administration <a href="http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/W/WALL_STREET?SITE=MTBIL&SECTION=BUSINESS&TEMPLATE=DEFAULT">released it's financial plan</a> to save the nations bank. Just like all things Obama, it is long on rhetoric and <a href="http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/B/BAILOUT_PLAN?SITE=MTBIL&SECTION=BUSINESS&TEMPLATE=DEFAULT">short on details</a>. I guess the old curse continues and we are living in interesting times.
