Goings on

It has been very busy around here. Monday we dispatched our last Jersey steer. He was less bony and more solid than most Jersey steers we've had. Today we spent the morning butchering the front quarters (mostly for hamburger meat and brisket.) The rest we will age a bit more.




Yesterday we had a pretty strong storm (cancelling my first day of class at both colleges). Lots of limbs down in other places. Our neighbor lost a tree, taking his fence down. This afternoon we spent cutting up the tree (poplar, I think) and bringing it home to start next year's wood stash. 



We have weaned a bunch of pigs and trying to sell them, while waiting for 2 litters to drop any day now. 




We still have Thomas home for a couple more days, then he's back to Wyoming to finish his senior year.



Oremus pro invicem!

Beautiful quality pics of the pigs and steers. Artsy.
