Sunday dinner and Monday cattle sale

[Soapweed]

After church yesterday, my dad fixed a scrumptious dinner for two of his cousins, his cousin's husband, and Mrs. Soapweed and me. He did a remarkably good job, including grilling some nice steaks.

Today I took in the Martin sale. A neighboring family had four nice loads of spayed heifers. Two loads weighed 892 and brought $109.00 per cwt. One load weighed about 950 and brought $103.00, and the light load weighed about 830 @ $111.00. It was a good sale, and they were very pleased with the outcome.

Kelly Boomer, recently back from a tour of duty in Iraq, sitting between his parents. We very much appreciate his dedication and commitment in fighting the war to keep our country free. Thank you, Kelly.

(I see he's wearing his Bermuda Shorts again for that first picture. Knew he'd like them once he got used to 'em )

Soapweed nice pictures as usual especially like your fathers decorations the hereford bumper sticker and the hereford picture. I am not a hereford man just feel they are under appreciated any more. I do love a shorthorn hereford cross calf they do so well. looks like a good time thou everybody is smiling.

ya know after werkin cows friday and haulin em to the sale, I thought about continuing with the pictures all the way through the unloadin process. But for some reason way back in the back of my mind I seem to remember "No Camera's Allowed"??? That's why I didn't take any. I dont see why not thought since they are my cattle and all.......maybe next time
