Meet Hondo Lane. He's red and homozygous polled. We are thrilled with him! Thank you Dennis! Machine wasn't so certain that he was thrilled with another herd bull arriving:
They actually get along quite well, are nearly the same age and should grow up to be excellent bulls for our herd. There are high hopes for these two guys. Both have that great temperament that we require. Both are easy going and walk well on the halter for me. Can't wait to see how they look this spring.
The folks in Missouri always do a superior job putting on their show and sale. We enjoyed our entire trip. Some family time with The Daugher, who is only 5 hours away from Missouri (!) and some time catching up with old friends and making some new ones. And did I mention that there was a sale? Oh yes, I was even allowed to hold the bidders card (long story)! I was reasonably well behaved and only two outstanding heifers followed us home.... it was difficult to not waive that card in the air often!
Kristi Ann has one of the most beautiful Dexter faces we've ever seen (my picture does not do her any justice). Her personality matches as well. She's halter trained and will be ready to breed to one of those handsome boys early next summer.
And this is Rosaleen - a wonderfully built young heifer who is going to make the best Mooster ever! We will breed her to 'Dance next month for a fall calf. Thanks Norm and Mary - we really love her.
We've been home for two weeks now - happily. Still working on all those things that need to be done before the "real" winter arrives. More snow in our forecast for tonight and tomorrow - makes us glad to have another one of these drive up our lane:
We were actually able to get a local load - a sign that we had a bit more rain than last year. We hope that trend continues!
Nothing says Yay! like a semi loaded with hay!
