Monday was rainy but fairly warm for December. Anna checked cows before school and 033 had calved. We did not put anyone new in the halter breaking pen due to the mud. Toni, mom and dad went to Jaxsen game Monday night, then mom and dad brough him home and Toni went and stayed with grandma.
Guess what, Tuesday was warm and rainy. We were glad we did not leave any foals in the halter breaking pen with all this rain, hopefully we will have grass out in the sagebrush this spring. We had our first AI calf, she is by Square B Atlantis. We also had another heifer calve.
More rain on Wednesday. Anna went apple judging, she was 5th overall at state. Jaxsen had a basketball games, yes, there is 3 a week if anyone is counting. He is really doing well. Dan my carpenter finished the bathroom floor on Wednesday, it looks great. Wednesday was Ben’s last day of work for 2023, he does not have to go back until January. We had a few more calves on Wednesday. Also on Wednesday Anna went and picked up two puppies from neighbor Larry, he has posted they were dumped and Toni and Anna decided they needed to go and get them. They were cute, we called them Bonnie and Clyde.
Thursday we actually saw some sun. It was amazing. Our Express cow had a cute PVF Marvel heifer on Thursday. Ben had a dentist appt so he brought a coffee to me at work. Bonnie and Clyde and fun running around with Ben most of the day. Jaxsen had another basketball game. He did great, made a basket or two.
On Friday I was home from work. Ben and I went out to check cows and Lottie was calving but she was fighting with the ram so not calving. We had a repeat buyer coming to look at bulls. So Ben got the bulls in and sorted them. Toni came down and help me get the cows in. We got Lottie sorted off and the calf pulled right before Scott got there. Scott and his dad came and looked and pulls and picked out three pretty nice ones. Ben and I lead Sonny and Waffles, the mini colts, up the hill and put them in with Stina and Spicy, two mini mares. Then we did chores. Toni found someone interested in the puppies and they came out and liked and took them both. Anna was happy they got to stay together.
Saturday we checked cow, with 8 dogs in the Colorado. Then we got in heavy heifers, turned out the ones that had calved, etc. Toni rode Gracie and ponied Glow. Kade rode his horses. I went and stayed with grandma.
Sunday was more of the same, checking cows, etc. We cleaned out the master bed room in our hose to get the floors redone on Tuesday.
