Calving Time has arrived!!

  Howdy!   On Friday Feb 15th we brought the heifers to their calving pen right behind the house. This is where we can keep a closer watch on them for any calving difficulties that may develop. With help from Nick, Jodi and Sara all 168  2 year olds and 3 year old heifers were brought down the road to the house  from the main corral.
