Im sure most of you have seen this one but I thought with a new board Id start with it and go from here. Well, its realy slowed down around here. Just shop work and taking care of cows. With temps in the single digits thats harder than one would think though. Dad and the cow crew has been busy running electric fences on the milo and corn stalks, moving cows around, and hauling water. Here they are saddled up and heading to move a couple of bunches of cows. the water hauler sitting in the sprayer shed to stay thawed out. we are also running some dry fertilizer for some guys. the guys in the shop were just about finished up with post harvest inspections, and washing and waxing combines, when one of the petes blew a engine, dropped a valve and well you get the idea. Then a few days later one of the grain trailers lost an axle seal, then the bearings, then the wheels and hubs, all while going down the hwy. we are finally getting the grain facility where we want it, just some minor finish up things to do. the feedmill has been an hub of activity. We mix and deliver feed for a few local feeders to help pay the bills. Other than that just feeding calves in the lots and moving some hay. We sold a couple of truck loads to a dairy in Neb. And I finally got the chance to run the new Puma grinding hay the other day. well thats all for now, things keep spinnin around. ?s and comments always welcome. Thanks for lookin, Dustin.

Looks great! Hope you gave the guys in the shop an extra bonus this year. Sound like they have there hands full for awhile.
