Cow work for 6 months straight and now we have to start farming while still doing even more cow work with branding and hauling them out of here on semi trucks.
My LEAST favorite time of year.
Not whining though.

Two pairs of twins, and about twelve calves on the ground. Calving and doing field work keeps busy.

Finally time to plant sweet corn and potatoes.
After the dentist appointment in the morning might get something done.

I don't want to start mowing the show lawn but most of my neighbors have already beat me to the punch.
Caught the first wood tick of the year last week. Won't be long and the flies and mosquitoes(and grasshoppers...) will be wrecking havoc once again.

Start? Winter oats just came off the fields and the first cutting of alfalfa was happening today by my cousins.
Full swing out here.
No cow work for me though.

Ticks are out here already too and the skeeters won't be far behind. I hate bugs! I have a few more days of killing Beaver for the county left and then I can start thinking about walleyes, boats and beer.
I am always looking for factory wood stocks!

Funny that Sam dislikes this season.
My buddy who ranches in Lakeview Oregon likes this time of year.
It’s the dead of winter he hates.
I do appreciate Sam’s summer time pictures and posts though.

Sam...Do you grow produce crops or just feed (Hay, alfalfa, etc) for the cows?
