Our early Spring continues. Today was another record breaking day. A storm is brewing and the temperature dropped almost 30 degrees in an hour earlier this evening. The forecast for Saturday morning is cold with possible snow flurries.

We have had a busy week with the Lowlines. We've had three calves; two heifers and a bull. All were delivered without any assistance and are excellent calves. We are preparing to send some of our bulls to sales. This requires giving them a hair cut and getting them all spiffed up as much as possible.

We are continuing to move our equipment out of storage and get it prepared for planting. We sold a load of hay last weekend and this has freed up some space in the barn.

Things are pretty quiet at the diner. No earthshaking developments now that health care and basketball have been decided.

I have a bull calf to deliver out to the western part of the state. A farmer out there has a Beltie herd and wants to develop a new herd sire. Our calf has excellent genetics and is unrelated to his herd so that makes him a good fit.

Mary is getting ready to go off nexr=t week to visit Eileen. It should be a great trip. Jim is getting close to the end of the school year and will be home in less than a month. Time really flies. As you farm, you certainly realize that the whole year is a series of cycles; all of which revolve around the weather and people.
