20 years ago

This winter seems mild and pleasant, especially when we look back 20 years.
Kristin would be 15, Elizabeth 10, and Laura 5. And Mom- hmmmm 44. This was a super cold winter followed by the next winter of record snow fall. We were back grounding the calves, and feeding them X2 a day, a corn mixture to add weight. It's hard to add weight when the temperatures are so low as this. We, always kept at least one vehicle plugged in all the time along with the 4430 to feed hay and blow snow. We didn't loose any cattle or calves and were so excited to see spring arrive!

January 2016

Cold sub zero temperatures encourage us to work on some indoor projects. So the easiest was to order and hang pictures in the kitchen featuring agriculture. ( note the coffee stash from WinCo)
