little starter, a lot of cow shit and a touch of urea just to be safe. Late planted corn shocked me when i finally checked it out. Good luck and weather can sometimes make you look smart

Yesterday we had to put Glory down. She was one of the first animals we brought "home" when we moved back. Calved a month after we started milking. She kept me going when on tough days. milked her last so i'd end my day with something good. Mar 07-Jun 22.

So before Covid my son never showed much interest in the farm really. Since he had no school or sports I told him he had to feed the calves. Today he had dentist appointment early. Was concerned about who would feed calves and called to make sure I knew what to do.👍

Got an old beater sled for my son yesterday. $300 bucks and a happy kid. It's got a few issues but it works. Told him he has to work at the barn to pay for gas. Likes the rack on the back, place to put his skates when he goes to the pond
