Summer 2009

It's been awhile since we updated the blog, but as you can see we have been pretty busy. These are a few pictures of what we have been up to this summer. One of the highlights was the arrival of the new tractor!!!

1) Keith pulling the grain cart!

2) Alan driving the combine while Keith pulls the grain cart!
We make a good team!

3) Putting up the grainerys down in Abraham! (Not as big as last year's thankfully, but just as hot!!!)

4) Marlee, Heston and Alan posing with the new John Deere 8130!!

5) Out with the old and in with the new!!! Sniff, sniff!

Planting Corn

I took some pictures of Alan and Marlee planting with the new corn planter. As you can see with the thumbs up Alan was pleased with the job it was doing. Marlee thought it was pretty fun!

Chore Time

In October we brought the feeder cattle and beef cattle down to Delta. We hauled the rest of the range cattle and calves down in January. It has been a really good winter for the cows because we have not had a lot of cold weather or a lot of snow. We started calving around the 20th of January and are off to a good start.

1) Marlee and I loading up the hay for the mixer wagon.

2) The Mighty Hesston tractor and Knight feed wagon

3) Breaking the ice on the watering troughs. Sorry Marlee, to cold for a dip today 4) Marlee and I taming the wild beast known as Norman!
