It was 2 above here this AM- and we were gathering cattle before the sun came up...BRRRRRR.... Had them gathered- sorted- 100 steer calves trailered 5 miles to the scale- weighed, inspected, and loaded on the truck by 10:30 AM- when the sun came out and it finally warmed a little....
But the wind was cold all day- and they're saying some snow tomorrow...

I agree- if it would have been up to me...But the buyer wanted them hauled in and weighed so he could be at the sales ring when the sale started at 10AM...He was only a few minutes late...
This has started to be a standard game plan with this neighbor...

Some of those boys are tougher than me tho- I left after I'd inspected the steers and had them loaded-as I had some more cattle to look at--- but my son stayed and helped haul the heifers to another lot (and had a flat on the trailer Rolling Eyes ) - and he said when they finished just before noon and went back to pick up the horses- the neighbor busted out a case of beer and they were standing out there in their mittens sipping a "cool one" before lunch.....

Never did get above freezing today...

Oh yeah the neighbor was there- and his hired hand, several neighbors, and even a couple game wardens that were there just having fun...And I had my bottle of good Canadian anti-freeze behind my seat Wink

Its been a hectic week- as my sister and her husband have been up from Texas visiting- and then on Sat night my mother in law, who's been beenridden for months after a bleed in her brain, died... So we had family coming in from everywhere...And then on top of that- everyone is finally coming to the realization they won't get anymore for their calves and selling them- which has kept me busy with inspecting jobs....
Funeral was yesterday- and everyone will be gone by tomorrow so things might start getting back to normal.... Rolling Eyes Whatever that is.... Wink
I'd bought some registered heifers a week ago over the phone- but hadn't been able to get away to get them- but even got my daughter and SIL to volunteer to take my trailer and go down this weekend and get them for me...Only cost me gas and probably a shopping spree for the daughter in Billings Shocked
