We had a 3 day weekend due to Labor Day. While most people use it for one last hurrah before summer is over, we used the time to pull in a tile line, fix cattle fence and chop silage. We did take some time to go over to the pastures and spend some time with Wills cousins getting their input on our cattle while catching up on life's happening. Monday we celebrated my dad's birthday with a BBQ at my sisters house. The cousins love spending time together.
It is hard to believe that summer is coming to an end and after the weather we had on Sunday, fall is quickly approaching. I'm sure Will is going to be heading to the fields within a couple weeks to start harvest but not before the last cutting of hay. Cows will be coming home soon and in a few months we will be getting rid of this year's calf crop and starting on next year's.
Bills will be due and tensions are usually high trying to get the most money for the calves so we don't have to spend much out of pocket. My farming dream is to someday have the cows self sustain themselves but that isn't quite a reality yet.
So here is to another summer gone. Bonyoage.
