    It was close to 80 here today, with a nice breeze. There was a cloud that blew through this morning. But, it was not a big cloud; not even big enough to block the sun.

    I am drooling at all that beef! One of our neighbors has several large herds, but I don't go down that road anymore. It's hard to look at all that beef I can't afford!
    Nope, your the smart one.

    The valve has been closed the last few days and we've been blessed with sunny and 75. Almost 80 tomorrow they say.

    Got a little rain yesterday. Not enough, but some is better than none.

    I don't know if I would say smart. I will physically put my hands on (and sometimes in) almost two thousand head a year and still can't afford to buy a steak dinner. I sell black and buy a couple jerseys every year to eat because they are so much cheaper. I will put them in with a pen of feeders for a while and then pull them out and finish in a barn stall on grain only. We have talked about keeping a black steer for beef but the money just ain't worth it. My wife jokes and says she will be glad when the shit hits the fan so we can finally eat an angus steak lol.

    My husband thinks the Jersey's are better tasting beef than the Angus. IDK.
    I can't believe how high a feeder calf is now. About 8 yrs ago we could have bought one for $75. Someday...

    I like the Jersey alot,not much of them though, and slooowwww growing, which makes them a little harder to marble well.
    You can buy a three day old bottle baby around here right now for around $75.

    Really? That would be a Jersey, right? I've been watching prices around here, and haven't seen any that cheap.
    Not sure how Chester (our horse) will be around a cow. Sunday, a neighbors Llama got in our pasture, and it scared the hell out of Chester! He didn't want to get anywhere near it!! So funny to see a 1200lb horse who is normally a bully to other equine, being afraid of a 300 lb Llama.
