I hope everyone had a great Labor Day weekend — ours needed its own scheduling department.
Friday we hauled to Wapato to watch Jaxsen play, and the whole Connell team showed up to play like they meant it — good win.
Back home, Kade dug out Skip’s old truck and the welder and put some fresh ties on the saddle shed, because apparently a three-day weekend isn’t restful unless somebody’s shooting sparks in the yard.
Saturday, Kade traded the welding hood for a ring steward badge at the Kittitas County Fair — moving up in the world. Toni and I weaned the first set of foals, which went about as smooth as weaning ever does. Anna kept working her calves — the ones headed to the Nile and the ones headed to a new home — and Jaxsen put in his time on the steers.
Sunday we weaned the rest of the calves, minus Ben’s brand-new longhorn, who is exempt on account of being too new around here.
Monday, Jaxsen was back at it with a JV game against Wapato — the kids played another great game. Tuesday, Dad and Kade hauled some old cows and an old bull up to Moses Lake, and we ran the steers into CBJLS. Wednesday was market day at CBJLS, and today was fitting and showing.
If we haven’t crossed paths with you yet this week at CBJLS, hopefully we’ll see you at the sale tomorrow.
