Buddy calls me a city girl too He is all country boy and totally jealous of your farm. I tell him about your animals and he is always asking me how do they do this? How do they do that? His latest question is to fund out your feeding techniques. How much grain to grazing time to silage.............it goes on and on His Mom and Dad had a dairy farm in a neighboring town adn when he was a teen they sold it to a developer. Now this was before land had any value so they got not much and there is now a huge apartment complex there. His childhood home is still there though and he drives by it several times a day in his travels. It makes him a little sad.
I got the skillet and I thought it was a huge plate of yucky dry flavorless stuff.
Well you can tell Buddy that at the moment we are waiting for the farmers to get out of the corn fields so we can run them on the corn stalks. The farmers love it for the free fertilizer and we love it because it really helps with the feed bill. We have land to the North of us with grass and we grain and hay them twice a day. If Doug is late - and believe me they know - you should here the beloring going on. I can hear it in the house. We don't finish our cows, we take them to the feed lots for that. We butcher our steers. Right now we are getting ready to "rent" our bull or buy one. Our heffers will then be put to pasture till spring. We take them into the hills for the winter. Tell Buddy he can ask questions anytime he wants. I might not alway know the answer but Doug will.
