[QUOTE="Cattle Rack Rancher, post: 56789, member: 245"] Another Year The days are getting shorter, And Autumn has made her bed. And I can see that Winter, Has raised his bearded head. As I sit out on the step, In the crystal light of dawn. I’m trying hard to understand, The year that’s come and gone. I shipped my calves last week, And I’m wondering what the heck. And why all my hard work, Didn’t show up on the check. Calving was kind of rough this year, And a couple of calves were lost. And a few cows came in open, Which added to the cost. Summer was late but when it came, The grass was lush and green. But it was the wettest, coolest summer, That we had ever seen. All my calves got vaccinated, Tagged, dehorned and banded. And when my wife couldn’t help, I did it single-handed. When it was time for shipping, The calves were looking great. A whole 70 pounds higher, Than last years shipping weight. But when I shipped my calves, The markets just weren’t good. And my good looking calves, Brought less than I thought they would. So now Christmas is coming, And I wonder how I’m going to say. ‘Sorry kids, no toys this year, All my money’s gone for hay.’ And that’s why I’m sitting here, In the morning all alone. 20 months worth of sleepless nights, Have left me weary to the bone. So, I guess it will be a Christmas, Like back when we were boys. A Christmas about family, With not so many toys. I guess I don’t know, It could be for the best. So I’ll wish you all a Merry Christmas, And put this thing to rest. Copyright 2004 [/QUOTE]
