210 tons of chicken litter has been spread and now I couldn't buy a drop of rain…sigh.
Barn project is moving forward. The guys have been building trusses and have a few uprights in place.
Plan on starting a couple of smaller projects that I will build myself. Son-in-law wants to lend a hand to learn a few things about working with his hands. His father abandoned them when he was young so he didn't get a lot of hands-on experience with such things growing up. I'll be happy to have a younger & stronger back pitching in…lol.
Will work 9 calves tomorrow with some help from a good friend…vaccinate all the calves & band the bulls. Whole herd will get some insect repellent as the flies are getting a bit thick this year.
Then, it's off to Yellowstone for a week. When we get back, it's no holds barred work every evening after work and on weekends. Couple of smaller building projects, spraying where needed, & going to war with brush on fence lines…a full schedule this summer again. On a positive note, the past couple of years spraying is paying off…not many weeds showing up yet except for a few small areas. The back pasture is greening up good since the burn a few weeks ago. Actually feel like I'm gaining a little ground…finally. Now to keep it in a nine line bind…no retreat, no surrender!
