Friday was another amazing day, 67 degrees and blue skies at lunch time. We had a flurry of phone calls and emails with a gentleman in Pennsylvania who has agreed to purchase , Rochester, a full blood yearling bull. He comes by the name in an odd way. The day he was born, I had some surgery in Rochester, NY, thus the name.

I was looking over his weight records. He sure has gained on baleage and looks great. his picture is on the sale page of the web site.

Since the bull will be going out of state, the vet is coming Monday to do a TB and Brucellosis test. He'll have to return Thursday to read the TB test site. If everything is fine, as we certainly expect, he'll give us health papers to bring with us when we deliver.

Mary and Jim and I will heading off in the afternoon to visit both of our sisters who live near each other in New Jersey. A friend will come by to feed and check on the cattle. Feeding is pretty basic for grass fed animals. Just make sure that there is hay baleage in the feeders so they can feed free choice.
