Monday was a calm day. The Lowlines who live in the woods pasture have taken very nicely to their new lean to. We blew in soy bean waste for bedding and they moved right in.

I went to the diner and visited with the regulars. One of the fellows belongs to a construction workers union. He said he had received a letter that a lot of their pension money had been lost since they had invested it with the man in New York City who had embezzled 5o billion dollars. Another fellow who is involved in trucking mentioned that he didn't feel that his union had likewise invested since the reputed embezzler was still alive.

The barber went over to use the pool at the gym. He claims it keeps him limber. That is a good thing because before long it will be golf season and he'll want to be right out there.

Tuesday was likewise an excellent blue sky day. We were able to move the new beltie and her calf from the maternity pen to an inside pen near the other cow calf pair. We were able to separate the cow and calf long enough to tag the calf and confirm she is a heifer.

We had an unexpected call in the afternoon from some folks in a neighboring county who have herefords. They are interested in downsizing their cattle and came to look at the lowlines. They seemed to like them and hope to return tomorrow with their children. The weather isn't promising as it looks like we might have an ice storm overnight and into tomorrow.

We had our monthly fire meeting tonight. Our new truck has been in service for a month and all is going well.
