Farm Life

We have been crazy busy here on the farm!

*

We got second cutting of hay put up and road ditches cut and baled.

*

We have vaccinated all 3300 pigs TWICE now....wow, what a job!

If only they would stand still like this when we vaccinate!

Don't I look glamorous after vaccinating? NOT!


We started the spring wheat harvest yesterday...

after a few minor problems were solved.

4-H Achievement Days are next week so Courtney has been busy getting her projects done and practicing with our dog Madyson, getting ready for the dog show.

We were going to try to take a family vacation this summer but it is looking kind of bleak now, the summer is almost over for the kids, they both go to college at the end of August.
